Acer Platanoides 'Conquest'

Conquest Norway Maple

Acer platanoides ‘Conquest’ is a refined Norway maple selected for its improved branch structure, uniform crown, and dependable landscape performance. Leaves are broad and five-lobed, emerging fresh green in spring, holding deep green through summer, and turning clear yellow to yellow-orange in fall.

‘Conquest’ develops a symmetrical oval to rounded canopy with a strong central leader and sturdier branching than typical Norway maple, making it more resistant to wind and storm damage. Growth is moderate, producing a dense, orderly shade tree.

It thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a wide range of soils, including clay and compacted urban sites, provided drainage is adequate. This cultivar tolerates heat, pollution, wind, and road salt and is hardy in USDA Zones 4–7.

Mature size:



Width: 35–45 ft



Height: 45–55 ft



Ideal for street trees, parks, campuses, and large residential landscapes, Acer platanoides ‘Conquest’ is valued for its strong structure, uniform form, and reliable performance in demanding environments.
