Acer buergerianum

[Trident Maple]

Needs training to develop single central leader (if that is desired). Popular street tree in Japan. Cold hardiness varies in seed produced stock. In some cases, fruit set is so high as to deplete foliage. Flaking bicolor bark in gray-brown and orange.

Acer campestre

[Hedge Maple]

Transplants easily. Pruning may be needed to limb up branches to create a shade or patio tree. Tolerates severe pruning and soil compaction. Can be pruned to become a giant hedge.

Acer glabrum

[Rocky Mountain Maple]

This species can withstand moderate drought and coarser soils better than other maples, but prefers moist soils that are slightly acidic.

Acer japonicum 'Rising Sun'

[Rising Sun Fullmoon Maple]

This large-leaf maple provides a stunning fall-color around September to October with hints of orange, red and yellow earning it's cultivar name 'Rising Sun'.

Acer maximowiczianum

[Nikko Maple]

The Nikko Maple is a small, vase-shaped tree that has year-round interest, especially due to its attractive, smooth gray to grayish yellow bark. This tree was discovered in Japan in the 1860s by Carl Johann Maximowicz, hence the specific epithet name; the town of Nikko, Japan contributes to the common name. It is rare in its native habitat today.

Acer palmatum

[Japanese Maple]

A refined but striking specimen in its several forms, differing in color, texture, and habit, but all graceful. Newly expanded foliage may be damaged by sun and wind. Plant where it will receive some protection from the elements, especially winter elements. Can leaf out early and be killed back by a late freeze. Prefers some shade and good moisture.
