Caddo Sugar Maple
Caddo Sugar Maples are a native species to Oklahoma. They are drought tolerant and can grow in a variety of soils. With an abundant range of fall color, Caddo Sugar Maples can provide a beautiful splash of yellows, reds, oranges and a mix of the three colors to any view. When comparing Sugar Maple varieties, Caddo Sugar Maples are a great choice when extreme heat is a consideration. Their leaves resist leaf scorch, they can survive in high pH soils, and they don’t overly stress in times of drought. Some plant Caddo Sugar Maples because their leaves don’t drop until well into winter, thus providing an excellent windbreak and screen.
