Uses: Hardy variety of Box Elder with distinctive dense clusters of flowers with long pendulous stamens on male plants.
Will tolerate a wide range of soils and PH levels.
Care should be taken when planting near bushland particularly along watercourses as this species has become weedy in many parts of south eastern Australia.
As an alternative use the Acer negundo 'Sensation'. cultivar. Note: Though not listed on the SA Water Tree planting guide, other varieties of Box Elder are so care should be taken when planting near services. For further information contact SA Water or your local nursery.
