Maple Tree Hellas

Discovered in Eastern Canada in July 2002 and selected from a group of 6 random seedlings, rigorous testing of Regal Petticoat® Maple is an ongoing practice to verify its’ hardiness, soil adaptability, disease (Rhytisma acerinum fungus for example), pest susceptibility, salt and drought tolerance.

The species pseudoplatanus is noted for its tolerance of wind, urban pollution and salt spray, which makes it a popular tree for planting in cities, along roads treated with salt in winter, and in coastal localities.
