Silver Maple Seedlings are young trees of the silver maple species (Acer saccharinum), typically grown from seeds, and they exhibit the tree's characteristic serrated leaves and rapid growth, making them a common choice for landscaping and shade.

Silver Maple Seedlings, also known as Acer saccharinum, are quickly growing trees that are typically located in urban areas. They have two-toned leaves, which are silvery-white on their underside and bright green on top.

Silver Maple Seedlings Are Fast Growers

The saplings of this deciduous tree naturally occur in much of the Midwest and East Coast. Seeds begin to appear once the tree has entered its 11th year of life. Once they're fully grown, they can reach a height between 49 and 115 feet. To put this into perspective, a 10-year-old sapling will already be 26 feet tall, so it's necessary to give these trees a lot of growing room.

What Do These Silver Maple Seedlings Look Like

These deciduous trees have simple leaves and deep, angular notches. When the breeze blows, these trees can produce a stunning effect because their white underside will be exposed. During the spring, the flowers come to life in dense clusters before the leaves. By summertime, the schizocarp fruit reaches maturity. Interestingly, the fruit reaches a larger size than any other similar tree grown within its range.

Autumn Time for these Silver Maple Seedlings

As summer turns into fall, they typically transform their leaves into a pale yellow color. However, there are some stunning exceptions that will turn into a brilliant yellow, red, or orange coloring. Either way, this will be one of the first types to see its leaves change color, and it'll also be among the first that drops its leaves.

Silver Maple Seedlings Bark and Lifecycle

During the earlier years of its life, this tree's bark is gray and quite smooth. However, once the tree matures, its bark will be shaggy and gray. As it drops its seeds, they begin to germinate immediately. Much of these will be eaten by birds, chipmunks, and squirrels before they can become anything, but the remainder will turn into new trees. Once they begin to grow, they provide a nesting habitat for ducks.

They offer great wildlife value, and they're a nice choice for any moist or lower areas of your property. Additionally, they'll give your yard a very nice shade tree. They grow quickly, too, and you'll see them grow by a foot or two each year.
