But the  dense Norway is an invasive thug that stands up to city life far 
better  than sugar maple, which blesses us in lots of ways. Can't think 
of any  pluses for Norway.>>>>>>
 
Give me a break!  There is something incredibly beautiful about  a
Norway Maple in full bloom in the early spring.  They are towers
of yellow blooms.  No other maple with which I'm familiar comes
close in the flower category.
 
Mind you, I am aware of the insidious invasive qualities of this  species,
but there are pluses.  If you have not seen a Crimson King cultivar  of
Norway Maple, you are missing out on one of its major charms.
