Summary
Acer paxii, commonly known as Evergreen Maple, is an evergreen tree native to the mixed evergreen forests of Southeastern China. It typically grows to a height of 20-30 feet (6-9 meters) and a width of 30-40 feet (9-12 meters). The tree features a rounded canopy with glossy, dark green leaves that persist throughout the year, providing continuous foliage interest. While not widely known for its flowers, the Evergreen Maple does produce inconspicuous yellow-green flowers in the spring.
The Evergreen Maple is valued for its year-round foliage and adaptability to a range of urban conditions, making it suitable for use as a street tree or in residential landscapes. It can tolerate a variety of soil types, provided they have medium drainage, and it is relatively low maintenance once established. However, it may require additional watering during dry periods. This species is not commonly found in cultivation outside its native range, but it can be a unique addition to a garden with its evergreen character.CC BY-SA 4.0
