This small to medium-sized deciduous tree typically grows to a height of 10 to 15 meters, with a spread of 8 meters. The tree has a dense, round crown and a straight trunk that can reach up to 50 cm in diameter.
The leaves of the ‘Queen Elizabeth’ maple are medium green and five-lobed with serrated edges. In the autumn, the leaves turn a beautiful yellow-orange color. The tree blooms in late spring to early summer, producing small clusters of yellow-green flowers, which are followed by winged fruits called samaras.
