Acer platanoides ‘Drummondii’ boasts exquisite cream-green leaves during spring and summer, which then transform into a yellow or orange color during autumn. While its shallow root system has the potential to disrupt sidewalks and driveways, Acer platanoides ‘Drummondii’ can withstand air pollution and can be conveniently transplanted. It flourishes in soil that is both damp and well-drained, but it can also adapt to dry locations that undergo intermittent drought and wet sites that experience occasional flooding. Acer platanoides is deciduous and native to eastern and central Europe and western Asia. Learn more about Acer platanoides.
