LANDSCAPE VALUES:
This compact Maple tree features a graceful, upright, rounded canopy. The shiny leaves are quite distinctive with three lobes and a smooth edge.Young leaves emerge red in spring. They'll mature to a cool, deep, restful green for summer shade. In the fall the leaves turn a wild mix of yellow, orange and fiery red. It is truly a stunning display that you'll never grow tired of.Even the bark is good-looking! As it ages, the mature trunk starts to exfoliate to reveal the orange color underneath. Trident Maple is a tough, smaller tree that tolerates urban conditions extremely well. City planners incorporate them in median plantings and along busy streets. They become quite drought tolerant once established.
