'Crimson Sentry' - click images
Bojangles Restaurant, Lanham, Maryland. June 2006. I know that liking the rogue Norway Maple is not something woody plant nuts are supposed to admit,
but I simply love this cultivar. Color is flawless, the dense habit perfect, and the crinkled, undulate foliage is reasonably close to living art. I would like to say
that when in this part of Maryland, the best place to view this and other good cultivars of maple would be the US National Arboretum. That opportunity for
finding, comparing, and studying landscape cultivars would in general be a function of some place called an arboretum. Unfortunately one has to visit the
local Bojangle's and a couple of gas stations to find the best Acer platanoides cultivars for the modern landscape. Our national arb. has Acer ubrum
covered very nicely, a slight attempt at A. palmatum commoners, but nothing nearly comprehensive with other species' cultivars. We have high hopes
this will change since a new round or two of maple breeding is being done at USNA and their current deficiency in educating the public and professionals
in maples is admitted.

Acer platanoides 'Crimson Sentry'
ht: 25 ft. tall x 15 ft. wide - more narrow in youth
ha: columnar with foliage often very dense along limbs
lc: dark reddish purple as in 'Crimson King'

'Crispum' - click images
Durand-Eastman Park, Rochester NY. August 2005. Now 24 years later I am happy to present this great cultivar in high quality
digital images. While a real freak, this cultivar has a strange and compelling beauty all it's own. This tree is from Bernard
Slavin's own arboretum. He named many maples so it is still unclear how this relates to similar European clones.

Acer platanoides 'Crispum'
ls: crisped, often cupped or hood-like, veins narrowly spaced, fan-shaped overall
id: it is similar to 'Cucullatum' and may be another name for it. Krussman does not
id: mention it. Our speciman is from the esteemed, older Rochester NY collections.

Acer platanoides 'Cucullatum'
ht: 10m - perhaps slightly shorter than average
ls: cupped, hood-like, fan-shaped, veins closely angled, 7-9 veins or lobes, more rounded,
ls: often bubble-like or convex between the veins
lb: broadly cuneate
la: less pointed apices than 'Laciniatum'
pet: usually very long, longer than the blade itself.
or: Europe c. 1866

Acer platanoides 'Deborah'
ha: broadly oval to erect-globose
gr: better than 'Schwedleri' which it can replace
ht: 45 ft.
wd: 40 ft.
lc: red in spring becoming dark green by summer
ac: yellow
rai: it can replace 'Schwedleri' and other red->green cultivars
pat: US #4944

Acer platanoides 'Dieckii' (A. x dieckii)
ht: 20m
ha: broadly pyramidal
ls: more irregularly lobed than species typical, sometimes lacking lobes or these very shallow
or: Europe c. 1886
ns: it is not a hybrid to A. cappadocicum nor a A. lobelii as once thought.

Acer platanoides 'Dilaceratum'
ls: variable in shape and development, some cut or deformed, nearly always assymetrical
lc: yellowish margin
or: Europe before 1885

Acer platanoides 'Dissectum' (var. palmatum K. Koch)
ha: compact, dense, often shrubby, sometimes weak and very slow
st: young wood brownish - 'Lorbergii' is yellowish
ls: finely incised and often crisped, usually with 3 lobes unlike 'Palmatifidum' and most others
lc: new growth often brownish
or: Knight and Perry, Belgium before 1845 - different origin than 'Lorbergii'

Acer platanoides 'Drummondii'
lc: margined creamy white but quickly reverts if left unpruned
rai: probably the best variegated clone although reversion is severe
in: Drummond, Stirling, Scotland 1903

Acer platanoides EASY STREET™ 'Ezeste'
ht: 40 ft. tall x 20 ft. wide
ha: narrowly pyramidal, wider than 'Columnare' and quicker than it.

rai: 'Summershade' is easily confused with it - so keep them labeled!
'Erectum' - click images
Columnar tree collection, Durand-Eastman Park, Rochester, NY. August 2005. Bernard Slavin put together a nice collection of narrow trees
and this is the oldest know example of 'Erectum' if not the original. He found it at Mt. Hope Cemetery across the road from Highland Park Arboretum.
I did a very thorough tour through that cemetary and found no narrow maple. Trips there in the 80's showed only a few nice beeches on what was
once the grounds of Ellwanger & Barry's Mt. Hope Nursery. The label today (recent update) mentions Mt. Hope so the connection is sure. If this is
not the original tree, it is surely his designatd clonotype or display model. There are many narrow, erect Norway maples today (8/2005) throughout
Rochester streets. They appear to me to be 'Erectum' based on leaf size, darkness, and the overall dimensions. 

Acer platanoides 'Erectum' ('Ascendens' in part, 'Pyramidalis' in part)
ha: narrowly columnar, short lateral limbs
ll: to 10 in. long - larger than 'Columnare' which it resembles in habit
lc: darker green than 'Columnare'
id, ns: Jacobson (1996) says that 'Ascendens' c. 1946 is similar but grows "substantially larger", known as 64 ft. tall in 40 years
id, ns: in Seattle. Comparisons between one side of the nation and another are at best unwise. We need to get the clones together
id, ns: and hash them out with DNA analysis as well as side-by-side trials. There is also a mix up with 'Columnarbroad' (PARKWAY) and
id, ns: 'Columnaris' of Europe. We believe 'Erectum' to have much larger leaves to 10 in. or less wide than 'Columnaris'. Dirr has
id, ns: stated that 'Columnarbroad' aka PARKWAY could be regular 'Erectum'.
id, ns: project for DNA analysis.
or: Slavin, Rochester NY before 1931

Acer platanoides EUROSTAR® (1/03)
ha: narrowly pyramidal, narrow enough for street tree use. Single strong leader
ll: larger than some clones, still wind-resistant
lc: dark green

lu: proven durable in urban environments including more drought, pollution, and wind
lu: tolerance

'Rubrum' - click image
Highland Park Arboretum. August 2005. Most of the trees in this part of the arboretum were planted from 1907 to 1916. The greater leaf
texture makes it interesting. If Rehder has 'Rubrum' confused and Rochester Parks got alot of their stock from the Arnold, this too
could be the wrong entity. However, Ellwanger & Barry (their main tree source) imported many things from Europe.

Acer platanoides 'Rubrum'

spruce and one weeping beech in this park were planted in 1880 so these might also be that old.

Gotelli Collection, US National Arboretum. Fall 2004 (first photo), June 2005 (other three). One of the strangest maples on the planet. It appeals to the
collector and odd plant fan but is a curiosity for everyone else. It is more narrow and less branching than A. saccharum 'Newton Sentry' if one can
imagine such a thing and it is also much slower, a true dwarf.
