The Norway maple will have a shallow root system, and eventually, nothing

People sometimes try and create raised
beds under these trees, filling the area with soil. The tree laughs and
sends its roots upward, thereby creating the same situation as before.

Sorry, Shelly, but I've seen this happen in at least a half dozen instances.
Now, if you have an acre or more, and you can stick the tree far from any
other plantings you might want, I'm sure it would be fine.

This cannot be debated. I never lie and I'm always right. You, on the other
hand, are over it. Way over it.
