Acer pseudoplatanus

Common Name: Sycamore Maple

Vigorous and easy to grow in the nursery, this gives the plant an aggressive tendency, especially in rocky, dry conditions where other trees fail. Accordingly, these are offered strictly for rootstock use. This maple has the remarkable trait of a “universal donor” as a rootstock for many but not all species. We've successfully grafted everything from Acer pentaphyllum to Acer griseum onto it with no sign of long term incompatibility.
