Acer platanoides 'Drummondii'
Norway maple 'Drummondii'
This handsome, round-headed tree is arguably the best variegated Norway maple available. It has generously proportioned foliage, turning dark green as it matures, but maintaining its creamy-white outer edges. In autumn, the foliage turns orange, putting on a pretty dazzling display before it is shed.
Acer platanoides 'Drummondii' is an excellent specimen tree for a medium to large-sized garden, and it will cope admirably with pollution.

How to care for Acer platanoides Drummondii:
Plant in a sheltered spot, away from cold winds. Dig in a hole twice the size the root ball, add well-rotted organic matter and stake when young. Do not allow to dry out while it is getting established.
Protect young trees from winter frost with a 10cm (4in) mulch of organic matter, taking care to leave space around the trunk of the tree.
No routine pruning is required, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant. Avoid pruning at any other time of the year as acers tend to 'bleed' sap if cut while they are actively growing.
