One of the best-of-the-best of the North American native shade trees, the Legacy Sugar Maple was brought to the world back in 1967 by nurseryman Bill Wandell, and has stood the test of time for many good reasons. With this one, he left quite a legacy in the form of trees he brought into the world. Out of 199 siblings it outperformed, Legacy grows faster and is more heat tolerant, producing thicker, glossier leaves in more density. Bill trialed Legacy for 14 years, making sure it was worthy over the long term before introducing it to the market. A large and noble tree, Legacy forms an upright rounded canopy to maybe 40 to 50 feet tall and 30 to 40 feet wide densely clothed in dark green leaves through the warm season that transition to unrivaled fiery orange and red shades in the fall. Very easy to grow in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders and around patios, decks and other outdoor living spaces for shade, Legacy is an awesome low maintenance and pest and disease-free maple for outstanding form and fall color, and maple syrup of you want to tap the trunk!
