Acer negundo is a species of maple native to North America. Box elder, boxelder maple, ash-leaved maple, and maple ash are among its common names in the United States; in Canada, it is commonly known as Manitoba maple and occasionally as elf maple; in the British Isles, it is known as box elder or ash leaf maple.
A member of the maple family, not to be confused with Elder, Box Elder can be incredibly loyal once they have selected their master, and will not yield easily to someone who tries to win them from those they chose - only if they are passed on willingly will the wand work properly for its new bearer. However, despite this, Box Elder wands will never take more than seven masters and should always be buried with the last. Generally, those Box Elder wands select are those who see the bigger picture, who can think beyond simply the bounds of life and death, and who will do so to protect those they care for, or who they consider being under their protection.
