The European maple, also known as common maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), is a tree that occurs naturally in Central and Southern Europe, Western Asia and the Caucasus. It has long been naturalised in the Netherlands and Belgium. The tree can grow up to 30 metres high and has cream-coloured to light brown heartwood. The wood is not durable (durability class V) and is mainly used for indoor applications such as parquet, furniture, veneer and musical instruments.
