125th Street Largest Silver Maple

Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum)

About this verified tree

In 1910, a local resident planted rows of Silver Maples and American elms along its documented location trees stand as one of the most impressive early urban plantings in Edmonton. Many of the elms exceed 15 m in height, while the silver maples are among the largest in the city. One of the largest maples has reached a circumference of 14'2". This tree planting represents the early 20th-century movement to beautify Edmonton’s residential areas with hardy shade trees. The survival of these boulevard maples and elms for more than 75 years is considered unusual in Edmonton’s harsh prairie climate. They provide both historical value and aesthetic continuity to the neighbourhood streetscape. ~Trees of Renown 1986 (Modified to be more accurate)
