Tridents

The Trident Maple (Acer buergerianum) is a popular choice for bonsai enthusiasts, especially beginners. This deciduous tree is native to Eastern China, Taiwan, and Japan. It features distinctive, tri-lobed leaves that are dark green in spring and summer, turning vibrant shades of orange and red in autumn, providing a stunning seasonal display. The Trident Maple is highly adaptable, tolerating various soil types and climates. Its robust nature and ease of training make it ideal for novices. Its ability to develop a well-defined trunk and fine branching with minimal effort further enhances its appeal in the bonsai community.
