The Acer triflorum, also known as Roughbark Maple or Three-flowered Maple, is a species of maple native to the northeastern hills of China and Korea. This majestic tree is a beautiful addition to any garden or landscape, thanks to its compact and dense nature, making it an ideal shade tree for smaller areas. The tree emerges with a reddish tinge in spring and matures to a deep green in summer, offering an attractive shade of orange, purple, and red in autumn. It's often grown as an ornamental plant in Europe and North America due to its vibrant colors and unique trifoliate design. Despite being less common in cultivation, Acer triflorum has brilliant fall colors, including shades of orange, scarlet, purple and gold, few trees to develop such good fall color in shade. The tree is relatively tolerant of drought and clay compared to its close relatives, making it a resilient addition to any garden. The tree boasts yellow flowers and a yellowish-brown exfoliating bark, perfect for adding a touch of color to your landscape. Available specimens can be witnessed at the Royal Horticultural Society's award-winning garden and at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts. A beautiful, colorful, and hearty tree, the Acer triflorum is the perfect addition to any garden or landscape.
