There are maples scattered throughout Maxwell Arboretum but a number of them are located between the Yeutter Garden and the Loerch Gazebo.

 

This is the time of year when maples really shine. Check out our inventory and map; you can print them and take them with you to the Arboretum to find the species that you're interested in.

Check back soon and we'll have detailed information on all the plants posted.

THE MAPLE SOCIETY

http://www.maplesociety.org/

"At last a society has been formed to cater for and foster interest in this delightful, versatile genus. Founded by Doug Goodyer, Superintendent at Hever Castle, its objects are to encourage the cultivation of maples, enable members to learn from each other about their propagation, cultivation, introduction and identification, and facilitate the study of the botany, uses and cultural needs of maples. The society's President is the popular plantsman, broadcaster and author, Roy Lancaster. Members include Dick van Gelderen, Gordon Harris, Piet de Jong, peter Gregory and J. D. Vertrees, leading experts in the world of maples."
