Green Mountain Sugar Maple is valued for its brilliant red, yellow, or orange fall color that develops in the cooler part of its range. The trunks of these long lived maples are tapped in the winter for their sap, which is later boiled down to make maple syrup. Green Mountain develops into a stately tree that grows 40′-60′ tall and 35′ wide at maturity. Growing in full sun or shade, this species will tolerate a wide variety of soil types.
