Acer pensylvanicum, commonly known as moosewood, snakebark, or striped maple, is native to Ontario and enjoys moist, well-drained conditions, in partial shade. Although native to Ontario, it can be limited in quantity at nurseries. Moosewoods are relatively easy to transplant, but can be sensitive to heat and drought, requiring constant moisture. It is advisable to prune in the late spring (June), as cutting may cause sap to leak from the wounds. While this can impact the tree's appearance, it does not harm the tree.
