Description

Trident Maple (Acer buergerianum) is a highly valued ornamental tree known for its attractive three-lobed leaves, beautiful fall color, and excellent adaptability. Native to eastern Asia, this small to medium-sized maple is widely planted as a shade tree, street tree, and bonsai specimen. Its dense branching habit and brilliant autumn foliage make it a favorite among gardeners and landscape enthusiasts.

The tree produces glossy green leaves during the growing season that transform into shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn. Trident Maple tolerates urban conditions, pruning, and a wide range of soils, making it an excellent choice for residential landscapes, parks, and container growing.

Seeds require a hot water treatment followed by 60–90 days of cold moist stratification to overcome dormancy. The hot water treatment helps soften the hard seed coat that develops as the seeds dry, improving moisture absorption and promoting successful germination.
