Acer truncatum

Reminiscent of Japanese maple but with much greater toughness. This beautiful maple has a spreading canopy with attractive foliage that turns spectacular red-orange in late fall. Tolerates heat and alkaline soils. Makes wonderful shade tree for smaller yards.
Hardiness: Zone 6a image of a Shantung Maple
Exposure: Full sun to part shade
Size: 25 feet tall, 20 feet wide
Care: Not adapted to far west Texas; wrap trunk first three years to prevent sunscald.
