Under ideal conditions in its native range, Norway Maple may live up to 250
years, but often has a much shorter life expectancy in North America,
sometimes only 60 years. Especially when used on streets, it can have
insufficient space for its root network and is prone to the roots
wrapping around themselves, girdling and killing the tree. Norway Maples
often cause significant damage and cleanup costs for municipalities and
homeowners when branches break off in storms as it is fast-growing and
does not have strong wood.
