for 2006 Acer triflorum (Three-flower Maple) Type: tree Height: 15-25’ Hardiness: Zone 4-7 Light requirements: Full sun to part shade Bloom Color: greenish yellow This rare species, native to Manchuria and Korea, has beautiful exfoliating bark in colors of tan to cinnamon-brown and outstanding fall color ranging from yellow to red. A small hardy tree reminiscent of Acer griseum but with a more understated subtle beauty. Reaching 30 feet at maturity with non-aggressive roots make this handsome tree well suited for small gardens, especially if a sidewalk, patio, or foundation is in close proximity. The brilliant fall color (above, left) and exfoliating bark (above, right) create special interest in the garden from October through the lull of winter. Three-flowered maples prefer full to partial sun and moist well-drained soil. Although the shallow non-aggressive roots support a great small garden tree, they however, cannot tolerate compacted or stagnant soil. Acer triflorum has no known serious pests or diseases and has been proven to tolerate drought and clay soil. Hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-7. This plant is being successfully grown throughout the state of Vermont and should be a suitable small tree for our area. *****
