Trident Maple Bonsai Tree
(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 gray/orange and brown color. The small leaves (which resist scorching during drought) have three short lobes close together - hence the name Tri-dent. The spring flowers are inconspicuous and the new growth is often bronze to purple.
