R E D L E X O B B Acer negundo L. oxelder, or ashleaf maple, is Bapparently not native to Maine, but has been planted as an ornamental tree throughout the state and has escaped in localized areas near habita- tion. It was introduced along the St. John River in Aroostook County. It reaches a maximum height of 50 feet and diameter of about 2 feet in Maine. It is a short-lived, fast-growing, brittle tree, prone to wind and ice damage. It can become invasive. Boxelder is a short-lived, fast-growing, brittle tree, prone to wind and ice damage.

Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

Acer Negundo (Ash-Leaved Maple, Boxelder) Size/Shape
Acer negundo (Ash-Leaved Maple, Boxelder) Acer negundo is a fast growing and short-lived deciduous tree. It can grow up to 10–25 meters. It has pendant racemes of greenish-red flowers. Boxelder forms a 15-20 m rounded canopy of very light green foliage. The tree is an undesirable tree for many urban situations as it is brittle, has weak wood, short life and susceptibility to many diseases. But the tree will grow just about anywhere and therefore it may have uses due to its adaptability. It is tolerant of drought.
