Trident Maple Bonsai Tree Exposed Roots (acer buergerianum)

Well known for the superb colors of its foliage in autumn. The bark is a dappled pale brown and exfoliates with age revealing a grey orange and brown color. The small leaves (which resist scorching during drought) have 3 short lobes close together - hence the name Tri-dent. The spring flowers are inconspicuous and the new growth is often bronze to purple. Desirable for bonsai because of its small leaves. Deciduous. Keep outdoors
