Maple, Three Flower

Delicate and upright growing with fine-textured spreading branches, forming a rounded crown. Distinctive golden brown fissured bark, slightly exfoliating on young stems. Dark green leaves turn yellow and scarlet in late fall, often with a rosy pinkish cast. Very choice. 2008 Cary Award winner. Starting in 1997 the Cary Award annually recognizes underutilized woody plants especially appropriate for New England that offer superior landscape appeal in two or more seasons, are winter hardy in zone 5 or colder, are pest resistant and are readily available in the market.
