About the
Trident maple :
The Trident Maple tree, Acer Buergerianum,
is a deciduous, 20-30 foot-high by
25-foot-wide tree in the wild. The Trident
Maple has beautiful 3-inch-wide, tri-lobed
leaves, glossy green above and paler
underneath, which turn various shades of
red, orange, and yellow in autumn. Its
flowers are bright yellow and showy in the
spring. Trident Maple trees naturally
exhibit low spreading growth and multiple
stems but can be trained to a single trunk
and pruned to make it branch higher,
allowing passage below its broad, oval to
rounded canopy.
With its moderate growth rate, attractive
orange-brown peeling bark, and easy
maintenance, the Trident Maple is popular as
a patio or street tree. The Trident Maple is
a very popular species for bonsai, due to
its small, three-lobed leaves, a
readily-thickening trunk, and thick, gnarly
roots which adapt well to root-over-rock
style. It has enormous use for the home,
commercial, or municipal property. Makes a
nice small tree that can tolerate urban
conditions, ie; confined root space,
pollution, and heat and drought. Has done
well in parking lot islands. |
