The Trident Maple (Acer buergerianum) is a gorgeous deciduous tree that is native to Asia. It is hardy and can withstand some tough conditions, including road salt and urban air pollution.
This compact Maple tree features a graceful, upright, rounded canopy. The shiny leaves are quite distinctive with three lobes and a smooth edge.
Young leaves emerge red in spring. They'll mature to a cool, deep, restful green for summer shade.
You'll be amazed in fall when the leaves turn a wild mix of yellow, orange and fiery red. It is truly a stunning display that you'll never grow tired of.
Even the bark is good-looking! As it ages, the mature trunk starts to exfoliate to reveal the orange color underneath.
Trident Maple is a tough, smaller tree that tolerates urban conditions extremely well. You'll see city planners incorporate them in median plantings and along busy streets. They become quite drought tolerant once established.
