Trident Maple (acer buergerianum)

Well known for the superb colors of its foliage in autumn. The bark is a dappled pale brown and exfoliates with age, revealing a grey, orange and brown color. The small leaves (which resist scorching during drought) have 3 short lobes close together - hence the name "Trident". The spring flowers are inconspicuous and the new growth is often bronze to purple. Very popular for bonsai because of the small handsome leaves. Decideous. Keep outdoors. 11 tree group, each 8-9 years old. 27"x18"x20". Potted in a 22" oval brown mica container as shown. Shipped via UPS Ground - $59.00.
