Get a life! Norway Maples are wonderful trees and one big one provides all the wonderful shade I need for my backyard and patio. This tree is about 30 years old. Nothing grows under it so I don’t have to mow or weed! Keep it trimmed and keep after it and you will have a great tree.

I planted a Norway Maple that my mother gave me as a sapling in my very small backyard because I was in need of shade. My Western exposure window was killing me. I did not know what it was, however I had a horticulturalist visit my home to advise me on the plants on my property when it was fairly young. She informed me that it was a Norway Maple & commended me on planting all drought resistant, native plants and non-invasive species. I specifically asked her if this tree would be a problem in the future to my or my neighbours houses, about the roots etc & she advised me that it was a great shade tree that’s roots would not pose any problem. My yard backs on to a park so I am not sure if that is why she said the roots would not be a problem to my foundation etc. I am worried that this tree may grow too huge for the property but would like to know if it’s roots won’t be a problem because of the park. Pls advise. It sounds like the town’s horticulturalist gave me a lot of bad advice.
