PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | It becomes a substantial canopy tree with strong autumn color, so it carries a yard well when given space. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a moderate pace, quicker than many seedling sugar maples but not as fast as hybrid maples. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Its strong branching helps reduce structural problems, but young trees still need watering and early pruning. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | This is a large shade tree and is the wrong fit for narrow yards, patios, or tight planting strips. |
| Screening Value | C | The canopy gives seasonal cover, but it is not dense to the ground and drops leaves in winter. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for homeowners planting once for the long run, not for quick coverage or small-lot decorating.

Customers Usually Ask
Is it faster than a regular sugar maple?
Yes, it is selected for better growth than typical seedling sugar maples, but it is still not a fast hybrid maple.
Will it make good shade?
Yes, if it has room, it develops a broad, dense canopy that works well over lawn areas.
Is it good near a house?
Only with generous setback; this is a large tree and should not be squeezed near foundations, walks, or wires.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
