Acer buergerianum seed

Trident Maples are vigorous growers with relatively small leaves, and will develop large trunks and a well-aged look quickly. One of the easiest of the maples to grow, the red and gold autumn color is truly spectacular. Choose an upright form to match its natural habit.

Grown as a street tree in many parts of the world, Acer buergerianum or the Trident Maple can do well in dry soils and develops into an attractive medium-sized tree in the garden. This species is native to Korea, china and Japan and if left to grow on its own will reach 10m or more in height.
