The nursery industry is rapidly developing new and improved cultivars of maple trees so there are many that are worth consideration. Likewise, silver maple appears to be one of the worst for growing shallow roots at the surface, but we typically do not see shallow surface roots to be a problem with Caddo maple. One authority suggested that Crimson Sentry should not be. The affected leaves become a dull maroon color followed by a white-gray color, as if dusted with powdered sugar. Pinus echinata short-leaf pine Needled evergreen This pine was once more widespread in Missouri, but today is found mostly in the protected areas of the Ozarks. This is especially noticeable in mid- to late-summer. In comparison to the familiar silver maple, the Caddo maple is far less likely break and drop limbs.

Many maples have relatively thin and smooth textured bark so they can be more susceptible to scald and sometimes become cracked from exposure to the sun. When the leaves have fallen off of a tree and the sun is more direct to the trunk, the sun can actually scald the trunk of the tree. Sun scald is another common problem for maples here. You can expect that the Caddo maple will be less likely to show these leaf issues. It is native to eastern and central North America where it typically occurs in. Sugar maple, scientifically known as acer saccharum, is a species of flowering plant in the lychee and soapberry family Sapindaceae. This is one of the largest deciduous trees native to Missouri, typically growing to 50-80’ (less frequently to 100’) tall with a rounded open spreading crown. The problem seems to lessen with maturity as the tree is able to adapt. Acer saccharinum commonly known as silver maple gets its name from the silvery undersides of its leaves. ![]() In midsummer, it’s common to see leaf scorch or leaf loss on many young maple trees. Many maples struggle with the hot and dry periods typical of our summers. ![]() The Caddo maple is a large species of tree and can be expected to mature to 40’ wide and tall or greater.
