Expert Response
Yes, Crimson King Maple is a type of Norway Maple (Acer Platanoides). Norway Maple is a well known non-native invasive plant species that will commonly produce seeds that infests nearby woodland stands. There are many varieties of native maples that could be planted instead. Consider Sugar Maple or Black Maple as another option.
