FULL SUN

NON-NATIVE

MODERATE DROUGHT TOLERANCE

H: 35FT W: 20FT

The trident maple is a captivating tree with a graceful, oval-to- rounded silhouette. Its gray-brown bark, streaked with orange offers year-round texture and visual appeal. The tree’s 3-lobed, dark green leaves transform into a fiery display of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. While its tiny greenish-yellow flowers are understated, its overall charm is undeniable. Thriving in well- drained, acidic soil and tolerating drought once established, this sun-loving tree is hardy in Southern Oregon but native to Eastern China and Korea. A favorite in bonsai art, the trident maple owes its name to its distinctive 3-pointed leaf lobes.
