Acer saccharinum | 1-year seedlings, 12–24"

Silver maple is a fast-growing native hardwood commonly used in riparian buffers, floodplain restoration projects, and other conservation plantings near waterways. Reaching heights of up to 100 feet, it is well adapted to moist soils and seasonally flooded conditions. Its rapid growth, wildlife value, and ability to stabilize streamside areas make it a valuable species for watershed protection and restoration efforts.
