Getting it in: the largest size here needs machine access rather than a doorway, and sometimes a lift over the roof. Measure the narrowest point on the route and tell us on the booking call. Standard access is included in the price, and anything unusual is quoted and agreed with you before work begins. What happens on installation day

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 to 12 metres with a broad canopy suited to open, generous sites.
Low ongoing maintenance: Once established, demands minimal intervention; occasional formative pruning only.
Siting note: Box elders are known to self seed, so it is worth siting this tree away from creek lines.
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.
