It will grow in almost any type of soil, wet or dry, even wet soils along streams and other bodies of water, making it a good choice for difficult areas where other trees won't grow. With the exception of Alaska and Hawaii, it will grow in almost every state in the U.S., even North Dakota where deciduous trees usually won't grow. Although it is a maple, it differs from most other species in that it has odd-pinnate compound leaves, each with 3 to 5 toothed leaflets, resembling those of ash trees. The leaves are a light to medium green through the warm season turning to shades of yellow and\/or orange in the fall. Samaras are pale yellow, in long drooping clusters, that appear in the fall.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe name Box Elder came from the use of its woos for making wooden boxes and crates.

Also nice to provide shade near the home or around near sitting areas and for reforestation projects. When planted on the west side of the home the shade provided will substantially reduce cooling costs. A fine addition to wildlife gardens and sunny woodland borders. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  30 to 35 feet apart for screens; 60 feet or more apart for space between trees; space trees at least 30 feet from a driveway \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThriving as far south as USDA Zone 9b and north to Zone 3a, the Box Elder Maple is exceptionally adaptable and easy to grow in almost any climate and environment. In our gardens, no amount of extreme weather has hindered the strong performance of this amazing maple tree. Our temps here in north-central Georgia can reach 100 degrees or more in summer with long periods of little to no rain and winters can be wet and soggy. The Box Elder Maple grows best in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and in full sun to part shade. Established trees are very drought tolerant.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClick on a link below to find helpful advice from our experts on how to plant and care for Maple trees.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant A Maple Tree\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fertilize, Prune \u0026amp; Water A Maple Tree\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eQuestions?  \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                   \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144008741018,"sku":"D2LSC 247691766","price":48.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/acer-negundo-box-elder-tree-1.jpg?v=1779920724","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/box-elder-maple-tree-acer-negundo-3-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
