The sap of the Norway Maple contains milky juice, which distinguishes it from other maples like the sugar maple. The wood is hard, yellowish-white to pale reddish, with the heartwood not distinctly different from the sapwood. It is known for its durability and is used in various woodworking applications.
The Norway Maple is often planted as a shade and street tree due to its tolerance of poor, compacted soils and urban pollution. It is also used for furniture, flooring, and musical instruments, especially violins. The wood is rated as non-durable to perishable in regard to decay resistance.
