Flamingo Boxelder Maple

The ‘Flamingo’ Boxelder is one of the brightest variegated trees available. The leaves are boldly bordered and splashed with white, and the new leaves are bright pink. It can be grown as a small shade tree with a trunk, or kept as a vibrant large shrub by annual trimming. Either way it will brighten up the dullest corner, or make a knock-out specimen on your lawn. This very tough tree grows almost anywhere, and brings light and flash wherever it is grown. Plant it on the edges of woodlands for a colorful effect.

• Flamboyant pink new leaves turn white and green
• A vibrant splash of light for any garden
• Can be grown as a tree or a shrub
• Grows well in poor soil and wet areas
• Doesn’t produce any seeds

Full sun is best for the Flamingo Boxelder, but some afternoon shade will protect it from scorching when grown in the hottest zones. It grows in all types of soil, from dry and poor to wet clay, and it shrugs off any pests or diseases. Trim in late winter as needed. Once established it has good drought resistance and needs no special care.
