    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Somewhat rare in cultivation, this 30-60' broadly-canopied tree from swampy areas of Japan has large, 3-5 lobed leaves to 6" across which are brightly colored in fall. S-PSh/M-W

    Hardier than Acer campestre, to which it is most often compared, but of more appealing form and therefore requiring far less pruning in cultivation. Lacks the invasive character and obtrusive size of Acer platanoides. Very hard to find, it is an excellent urban tree. The best-known example in America is at the Morton Arboretum in Chicago, and it is broadly upright at 30 ft. tall, dubbed State Street?. A handsome plant by any measure.
