[Magdalen] Monterey fire?

[Charles Wohlers]

No - to quote the notice for the State of Vermont: "prohibit the sale and 
movement/distribution of Norway maple (Acer platanoides)". No cultivars are 
excepted - after all, the grafted trees will produce regular old Norway 
maple seeds, just like any other form of the species. It doesn't appear to 
be restricted in Pennsylvania as it is in several New England states, but it 
is classified as an invasive there.

So - if you live in the Northeast or Eastern Canada, do NOT plant Norway 
maple.

Re:  Naturalization of Norway Maple.

I suspect, though, even in states where other planting of this species  is
forbidden, they still plant the grafted cultivar, "Crimson King".   This is
a striking tree with maroon foliage straight through the summer.  In
addition,
there is a "Harlequin" grafted cultivar with variegated leaves.
However, their seeds may revert to the ordinary green species.
