Cultivation Notes: Of easy cultivation, it prefers a good moist well-drained soil in a sunny position but tolerates some shade. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Chlorosis can sometimes develop as a result of iron deficiency when the plants are grown in alkaline soils, but in general maples are not fussy as to soil pH. This species prefers its trunk in the shade[11].
Most maples are bad companion plants, inhibiting the growth of nearby plants[18, 20].
Dioecious, male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
