Requirements and Culture:

Full sun to part shade. Will withstand clay, acid and sandy conditions.  Holds up in hot dry conditions better than most maples.  It is a surface-rooting tree which will limit turf beneath.  It should be given room to grow and kept a fair distance from sidewalks, driveways and streets.
