Acer saccharum 'Caddo' ('Caddo' Florida maple, 'Caddo' southern
sugar maple) The 'Caddo' maple typically reaches a mature height
of 30 feet and spread of 25 feet, but may be taller. Its star-
shaped leaves turn under slightly at the edges, and turn muted
yellow to orange in the fall that can be spectacular. Its crown
is oval-shaped, with an upright/erect growth habit. This
moderately drought-tolerant maple is a great street or shade
tree. 'Caddo' maples, native to southwestern Oklahoma, are well-
adapted to heat and drought, and resistant to leaf tatter and
scortch common among many maples. The leaves are dark green,
leathery, and deeply lobed.
