Hi Dusan
</div>
<div>
Black Maple is reputed to be a sub species of sugar maple so not susprising they cross breed.
</div>
<div>
London Plane Tree is being promoted as a replacement for Norway Maple. I don't know if
</div>
<div>
there is any in NS yet. It resembles Sugar Maple to some extent.
</div>
<div>
It is a 2 species cross which shows some characterists of hybrids. Its seed is only occasionally fertile
</div>
<div>
so is much less invasive than Norway Maple.
</div>
<div>
Crossing species of trees is an interesting study - however not a hobby thing like rhododendrons say
</div>
<div>
because of the length of time to see the result! Much quicker to select seedlings.
</div>
<div>
Enjoy the summer
</div>

<br/>> Oops! Wrong maple species. According to J. L. Farrar's "Trees in Canada"
<br/>> (1995), Sugar Maple hybridizes with Black Maple, which is NOT native to our
<br/>> province. No mention of possible hybridization with Norway Maple.

<br/>> You are correct; Sugar and Norway Maples aren't closely related and
<br/>> don't hybridize - Owen
