Shantung Maple
Scientific Name: Acer truncatum
The Shantung Maple is a midsize ornamental tree that is great for
small yards and it tolerates alkaline soils, drought, and strong
wind. The Shantung Maple steps up to autumn with leaves that
are gorgeous golden yellow flecked with red before they launch
into orange and finally turn into a blazing red. The Shantung
Maple differentiates from other maples (Red Maple, Silver Maple,
and October Glory) in that the canopy is denser and the leaves
are more delicate, which is reminiscent of a Japanese maple but
with much greater toughness (tolerates full sun).
