Descripción
Species of rapid-growing shade tree, native to eastern North America and widely cultivated elsewhere. It grows to 18 m (60 feet) in height. Its wood is soft, but used for crating and inexpensive furniture. It can produce syrup, but is low yield. It drops branches and produces numerous shoots, making it problematic as an ornamental, although several useful varieties have been produced.
