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.

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 theleaves 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 thattolerates 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.
