Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Karpick maple grows best in full sun and an acidic soil that is medium to wet, with good drainage. The smaller and denser lateral limbs on a strong central leader and fine-toothed leaves are the most notable differences from those of the species. A specimen tree for a lawn or street where a narrow form is needed.
