Acer buergerianum, commonly known as the Trident Maple, is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree native to East Asia. Typically reaching 6 to 10 meters in height, it features a compact, rounded crown and distinctive tri-lobed leaves. The leaves are bright green in spring and summer, turning vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow in autumn, creating a striking fall display. The tree produces small, inconspicuous flowers in spring, followed by winged seeds. It thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, tolerating urban conditions. Acer buergerianum is popular for its ornamental value and is often used in bonsai culture.
