The Acer Platanoides is commonly known as the Norway Maple.  It is a deciduous tree growing to 65 to 100 feet tall with a trunk up to 5 feet in diameter, and a broad, rounded crown. 
The bark is grey-brown and shallowly grooved; unlike many other maples, mature trees do not tend to develop a shaggy bark. The shoots are green at first, soon becoming pale brown; the winter buds are shiny red-brown. 

The Norway Maple's leaves are opposite, palmately lobed with five lobes, 2.75 to 5.50 inches long and 3 to 8 inches (rarely 10 inches) across; the lobes each bear one to three side teeth, and an otherwise smooth margin. The leaf petiole is 3 to 8 inches long, and secretes a milky juice when broken. 

The autumn color is usually yellow, occasionally orange-red. The flowers are in corymbs of 15 to 30 together, yellow to yellow-green with five sepals and five petals 1/10th to 1/15th of an inch long; flowering occurs in early spring before the new leaves emerge. 

The fruit is a double samara with two winged seeds, the seeds are disc-shaped, strongly flattened, 1/5th to 1/3rd of an inch, 1/3rd of an inch across and 1/10th of an inch thick. The wings are 1 to 2 inches long, widely spread, approaching a 180° angle. It typically produces a large quantity of viable seeds.

The Norway Maple is not particularly long-lived, with a maximum age of around 250 years. It is a species of maple native to eastern and central Europe and southwest Asia, from France east to Russia, north to southern Scandinavia and southeast to northern Iran.
