Name: Variegated Maple (Click for picture, as per usual)
Latin Name: Acer platanoides 'Variegatum'
Origin: A selection of a Norway Maple...It would seem logical that the Norway Maple originated in Norway, but according to Wikipedia, it actually is native to eastern and central Europe and southwest Asia, from France east to Russia, north to southern Scandinavia and southeast to northern Iran. So I guess it might have originally come from Norway.
This particular maple tree is hardy to zone 4 and prefers full sun. Well...most trees do, really. At full size, it will be 50-60 feet tall and 40-50 feet wide. It is an upright tree with really cool white and green variegated leaves. Really, if you haven't looked at the pictures yet, please do.
