Boxelder Maple (Acer negundo)

Boxelder Maple is a fast-growing native North American tree known for its adaptability and ability to thrive in a wide range of growing conditions. Unlike most maples, it has compound leaves with multiple leaflets, giving it a distinctive appearance. Its rapid growth makes it useful for naturalized areas, wildlife habitat, and erosion control.

Boxelder tolerates poor soils, periodic flooding, and variable moisture conditions. It grows well in full sun and is especially suited to streambanks, open areas, and restoration projects where quick establishment is beneficial.

Uses: Wildlife habitat, erosion control, streambank stabilization, windbreaks, and naturalized plantings.

Growing Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; tolerates wet soils, drought, and a wide range of soil types.

Hardiness: USDA Zones 2–9.

An adaptable native tree for landowners and conservation projects seeking fast growth and reliable establishment across challenging sites.
