Date

November 15, 2014

Description

Deciduous small tree. Opposite, palmately lobed with 5 lobes. This helps distinguish it from Acer macrophyllim. Bark is grey and with minimal groves, in old age the bark does not become deeply grooved as in other species. The leaves develop earlier in the spring and hold on a little longer in the fall, not turning as orange and red as other leaves. Probably due to minimal anythocyanins. It is native to eastern and central Europe and southwest Asia.
