Acer b Trident Maple 2 in

Description
Trident maple—in the Sapindaceae (maple) family—is a small- to medium-sized, deciduous tree from Asia with a rounded, branching form. The leaves have three forward-facing lobes resembling a trident. This tree tends to grow as a multi-stemmed, low-branching specimen, but it can be pruned to a single stem. The exfoliating bark reveals an orange-brown inner bark, which adds interest. The fall color can be variable, sometimes yellows but usually reds and oranges.

Its preference is for full sun and average well-drained acidic soils; however, it is tolerant of a range of soil moistures and textures. It is also tolerant of wind, salt, drought, air pollution, and soil compaction. Trident maple has a slow to medium growth rate and is easy to transplant. Trident Maple naturally exhibits low spreading
growth and multiple stems but can be trained to a
single trunk and pruned to make it branch higher,
allowing passage below its broad, oval to rounded
canopy
