Acer - Maple Thumbnail pictures can be viewed larger by clicking on them. Use your browsers back button to return to page. Acer buergerianum, TRIDENT MAPLE, Z 5,6,7,8, Bark/Bonzai Mature height - 25'x15', Growth - Slow, Light - S, Soil - Med., Origin - China Fall Color - yellow-red Mottled orange-gray bark, good scarlet red fall color on ivy like leaves distinguish this tree. Shows good drought and disease resistance.
Acer griseum, PAPERBARK MAPLE, Z 5,6,7, Bark Mature height - 25'x15', Growth - Slow, Light - S, Soil - Med., Origin - China Fall Color - scarlet-orange Every tree lover should have one of these, a default bark tree. Propagation difficulties, and slower growth than say 'Red Maple' makes them a bit more expensive, but don't settle for a quick cheap fix. Select quality. This is perhaps our favorite medium large landscape tree. Exquisite peeling coppery bark, that if one is giving to taking winter walks stands out in the landscape. Leaf shows good scarlet-orange fall color.
Acer saccharum, SUGAR MAPLE, Z 4,5,6,7,8, Mature height - 60'X45', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - Eastern US Fall Color - amber-red We could hardly not have the State tree of WV in our collection. This tree should not be overlooked in the rush of A.rubrum 'Cultivars'. Its amber-red fall color creates a magnificent effect, similar to a glowing log fire, and earlier than others, when you are still enjoying the outside. Not forgetting that this is the prime source of Maple syrup. A classic native.
Acer triflorum, THREE FLOWERED MAPLE, Z4,5,6,7,8, Bark Mature height - 30'X20', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med.., Origin - Korea Fall Color - yellow-red The US National Arboretum in DC is a refreshing place for tree nuts to meet and see others who share their passion. If you drive around the park, you will often see cars parked dangerously, their occupants running across a field camera in hand; after spotting a tree. This is the tree that occasioned for me the crazy park fever described above. A young specimen displaying tight curling bark similar to River Birch. With age the bark will become grayer and more plated but still handsome. Fall leaf color is similar to 'Sugar Maple'.
