Name:
Acer saccharum subspecies leucoderme (Chalk Maple)
Comments:
Easy to grow, moderately drought tolerant (once established.) Smaller than northern sugar maples -- less than 50 feet -- with a rounded crown and great fall color.
Red flowers in late January early February give the whole crown of the tree a reddish glow, followed by red winged samaras (keys) in spring.
