This compact and elegant maple cultivar, also known as Globe Norway Maple, presents a rounded form and lush green foliage, making it a charming addition to any garden or landscape. With a height of 3 feet and a similar spread, this variety is ideal for smaller gardens, patios, or as an accent plant in mixed borders.

Acer platanoides ‘Globosum’ typically does not produce significant flowers, but its main ornamental feature lies in its dense, rounded canopy and glossy green leaves, which provide a pleasing backdrop throughout the growing season. Plant this tree in a position with partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil for optimal growth and foliage development.

For best results, plant your Acer platanoides ‘Globosum’ in autumn or early spring. Regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer in spring will help promote healthy growth and maintain the compact form of the tree.

While Acer platanoides ‘Globosum’ may not be a direct source of nectar for pollinators, it still contributes to the ecosystem by providing shelter and habitat for various insects. Additionally, its presence in the garden can attract birds, which may feed on insects or use the tree for nesting, thereby indirectly benefiting pollinator populations.
