CHINESE MAPLE
Acer truncatum

General Notes

Purpleblow Maple has the appearance of a Japanese Maple, however the leaves are smooth along the edges. The appearance of yellow flower clusters in the early spring provides a pleasing flowering accent. Its shiny light green foliage and interesting trunks make it quite attractive as a small lawn shade tree, which does well in half-shade to sun in a moderately moist setting. New growth is purplish-red, bronze. Many hybrid varieties of this species are available. Its height generally remains below 25' when planted in sunny locations. SelecTree lists no cultivars of truncatum.
