Acer negundo seeds grow into the box elder or ash-leaved maple the only compound-leaved maple in the genus, native to the temperate biome of North America from Canada south through the United States to Honduras, where it grows along rivers, streams and floodplains as a fast-growing pioneer tree. Unlike all other maples, A. negundo bears pinnately compound leaves with 37 leaflets, giving it a superficial resemblance to ash rather than a typical maple. It is dioecious (separate male and female trees), fast-growing and extremely adaptable to difficult conditions including compacted urban soils, drought and flooding. Greenish-yellow flowers in spring and distinctive hanging clusters of winged samaras are diagnostic. Family Sapindaceae.
Extremely adaptable and fast-growing; tolerates a very wide range of soils, drought and seasonal flooding. Full sun. Useful for fast windbreaks, riparian revegetation and pioneer plantings.
