LLL1: Acer platanoides, Acero riccio, Norway Maple, ostrolistni Javor

            Maximum height: 25m, exceptionally up to 30-32m

Habitat (natural reproduction): it grows in environments quite similar to those of Acer pseudoplatanus, but it can be found, enough common, even at lower altitudes, up to 300m. He loves calcareous soils, but relatively moist, so do not grow in the classic Karst moorlands. It is also colonizer of (some) deforested areas.

Spread On The Territory: instead of aged Acer pseudoplatanus, which loves the dense forests of Abies alba, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica, Acer platanoides prefers more light and areas of mixed small grassland and scattered woodland. It is common on western Ćićarija, between Kozina and Crnotice, over 450m and in the valley of Lokev, both on the coastal Karst. Some young specimen can be tracked also in the Trieste Karst, around Mt. Cocusso. 
It is more sparse in the internal Karst, where, in a more sporadic way, it may be anywhere up to 1200m.

Distinctive features: leaves more serrated than that of Acer Pseudoplatanus; in many specimens there is a clear bifurcation of the trunk at about 2/5 of the tree height.

The Latin name (Pseudoplatanus and Platanoides) comes from the similarity of the leaves of these trees with those of Platanaceae Family, in particular with those of Platanus Hybrida (Platano), very popular as Ornamental Tree for streets and roads.
