Acer platanoides
In the United States: Invasive · also called norway maple
Listed as invasive. Check local regulations — several jurisdictions restrict planting.

Norway maple provides prolific early-spring nectar and pollen that supports honeybee foraging and can contribute to surplus honey. Peak bloom occurs in April to May before the leaves emerge. It can be invasive where introduced, outcompeting native trees, so check local planting regulations.
