Habitat:  Generally found in open places such as grazing grounds. Isolated trees are found in coniferous forests at 2400 - 3800 metresin Kashmir[145].

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. Most maples are bad companion plants, inhibiting the growth of nearby plants[18, 20]. This species is closely related to A. giraldii[11].
