Trident Maple is native to China, Korea and Japan. It is a small, rounded, deciduous tree that typically grows rather slowly to 20 to 30 feet. Triangular, three-lobed leaves to 3.5 inches long are glossy green above and pale green beneath. Variable but usually attractive fall color features shades of dark red and orange. Non-showy, greenish-yellow flowers bloom in spring (April-May). Samaras to 1 inch long mature in fall. Exfoliating bark will develop on mature trunks.
