Trident Maple

Acer Buergeranium

Deciduous bonsai

The Trident Maple is a deciduous tree native of the Far East. It is a great tree for bonsai as it is tolerant of pruning above and below the soil. It is a vigorous and strong growing tree.

Location:

The fleshly roots hold a lot of water. The tree needs protection from frost and freezing temperatures.

Watering:

Water daily throughout the growing season. Keep damp in winter, but do not overwater.

Pruning:

Trim new shoots back to one or two sets of leaves whenever the tree is growing unless you wish to thicken branches. Trident maples benefit from leaf cutting (defoliation) in summer.

Repotting:

The roots grow quickly and will rapidly fill bonsai pots. Repot annually or at bi-annually for mature bonsai.

Feeding:

There are no special requirements. A general all-around feed applied most of the year when the tree is actively growing (not in winter) should be fine. Feed throughout the growing season until the autumn.
