Acer saccharum BELLE TOWER ('Reba') – Acer saccharum BELLE TOWER ('Reba')

View prices and availability
Medium-size tree, initially with an almost columnar crown, quickly becoming a narrow ovoid. The palmately lobed leaves have 3 to 5 lobes. They are a fresh green and turn orange-yellow in autumn. The tree was originally discovered in southern Tennessee and retains fresh green leaves even in warmer zones, unlike other cultivars of A. saccharum. ‘Reba’ is one of the narrowest cultivars of A. saccharum. Though the sugar maple thrives in many soils, a soil that is too wet is unsuitable for healthy growth. The tree cannot tolerate stagnant water and is sensitive to road salt. Poor tolerance to paved surfaces.
