Overview & Specifications
Acer negundo 'Sensation'
Few deciduous trees command attention across all four seasons the way Acer negundo 'Sensation' does. In autumn, its canopy ignites in deep reds and burgundy, a spectacle that defines the character of any property. At advanced sizes, the impact is immediate and undeniable.
Why Box Elder Maple
Autumn colour: Reliable, intense red and burgundy foliage each season; one of the strongest autumn performers available in advanced stock.
Rapid canopy establishment: Fast-growing habit means shade and structure are delivered well ahead of slower-maturing alternatives.
Seasonal structure: Bare winter form, fresh spring emergence, dense summer canopy, and vivid autumn colour provide year-round landscape interest.
Scale and presence: Matures to 10–12 metres with a broad canopy suited to open, generous sites.
Low ongoing maintenance: Once established, demands minimal intervention; occasional formative pruning only.
Ideal Applications
Signature feature planting: A single advanced specimen creates an immediate focal point within prestige residential or commercial landscapes.
Avenue and entry planting: Rows along driveways or property entries deliver a formal, high-impact statement at any scale.
Shade canopy: Broad summer canopy makes it a practical and aesthetic choice for open lawns and entertaining areas on large properties.
Park and estate landscapes: Well suited to expansive projects requiring structured planting with bold seasonal colour.
Specimen & Installation
