Norway Maple

The Norway Maple is a deciduous tree. They are green in spring and turn yellow and sometimes red in autumn. This hardy tree, very widespread in France, is precious for its rapid growth. Its wood is used in carpentry, for floors, and its ashes are used to make potash. Its Latin name Acer means sharp, hence the French word 'acéré' (pointed). The tree owes its name to its wood, which was used in antiquity to make spears.

- Growth: rapid
- Height: 10 to 45 meters
- Foliage: deciduous leaves, always opposite each other, with webbed veins composed of 3 to 9 veins, the main one located in the center
- Trunk: longitudinal white, grey or cinnabar red stripes
- Bark: first smooth and yellowish grey, then reddish grey and darker and darker with age as it peels off and flakes.
- Color: crimson, scarlet red, orange, yellow, or silver according to the season

This species makes the forest stronger and more resilient, which improves the health of the entire plot by promoting biodiversity. Its expected profitability is linked to the logging of the stand where it grows.

About Kalundborg forest

Kalundborg forest is located on the Northwestern coast of Denmark’s largest island, Zealand, just about an hour's drive from Copenhagen.
As the land previously was used for agriculture and we’ve only recently planted our first saplings the forest management plan for Kalundborg forest is thought through for the next 219 years.
There is a pre-historic memorial site from the stone age on the neighbouring land, so a small area of our land is protected, which we'll leave untouched so the flower meadow can blossom and provide food for our vital pollinators.
