Acer buergerianum (Trident Maple)

It forms an oval to rounded crown at maturity and is well suited to streets or gardens.

New spring foliage emerges a rich bronze colour before hardening to a glossy dark green by summer.

Greenish yellow flowers are borne in March and maturing trunks flake to brown / orange colours to provide a patchwork of winter interest.

Autumn colours can be variable but seldom disappointing with leaves turning yellow through to red before falling.

It is considered a slow to medium grower and is fully hardy down to -25 Celsius.

Mature Height: 10-15m
