Discover the captivating Acer triflorum, commonly known as Roughbark or Three-Flowered Maple, an exquisite choice for small landscapes. Native to the hills of northeastern China and Korea, this maple showcases a unique trifoliate leaf pattern, adding a distinctive charm to any garden setting. Reaching a modest height of around 25-30 ft, its compact size makes it ideal for limited spaces.

Roughbark Maple is famed not only for its size but also for its spectacular seasonal transitions. Its leaves, initially tinged with red in spring, mature to a lush green in summer before dazzling with shades of orange, purple, and red in the fall. This impressive display of color can even brighten shaded areas – a rare trait among trees.

Moreover, Acer triflorum features striking yellowish-brown exfoliating bark, which peels in woody scales, enhancing its year-round allure. Though it thrives best in moist, well-drained soils, this maple is also relatively drought-tolerant and can withstand clay soils, making it a resilient addition to your landscape.

Perfect for both ornamental plantings in Europe and North America, Three-Flowered Maple stands out with its exquisite beauty and adaptability. Transform your garden with this award-winning maple, celebrated for its exceptional garden merit.
