CANADIAN
​MAPLE

WOOD SPECIES (ORIGIN)

Acer Saccharinium (Canadian Maple) is a North American tree which can grow to a height of 25-40m with a trunk 3.5m in diameter.

An easily grown tree, the maple likes a well drained but not dry soil. This gives it a rustic look, emphasised by the initially grey or yellowish and later reddish bark which tends to come away in large flat chunks.

It has a large broad crown from which the flowers only emerge after the leaves. The fruit grow in double samaras.

​
A hard stringy wood with average shrinkage it has a stippled vein pattern with stripes which may be dense and wavy but never simply straight.
