It`s a fast-growing tree from North America. Young shoots are waxy-white coloured. It has already started spreading in our country (Hungary) because the weather and soil conditions are especially well suited for it.
Apiaries also plant it, mainly to the north of us, because it blooms early and gives a special quality of honey.
Its wood is relatively soft, particularly suitable for carving. Moreover, the sap contains a lot of sugar, so the Indians use it for making syrup, though it is not as sweet as the one made of Acer saccharum.
Quickly closing hedge can be planted with it too!
