Well, I guess if they have both sexes present, that'd make them AC/DC.
Perhaps I'll research John's Norway Maple suggestion, and take a look
at that recommendation as well.

The tree is on a lawn area, and I'm not worried about the helicoptors
there. . .But, the tree will also shade over an area with many Azaleas.
And it could be an issue there.


A. platanoides is a great tree too, with many lovely cultivars in different
sizes. As well as the species I have 'Drumondii' in my garden. Here's a

The species is dioecious, but can be very invasive in some areas, so be
careful. Why not consider A. cappidocicum, the Caucasian maple? It's
a lovely big tree with dark green foliage that pushes out red to start, and
good fall color in most locations.
