Trident maple ( Acer buergerianum )

a fast grower that likes water; watch closely if wired to avoid scarring; the leaves grow smaller under more/fuller sun; strong exposure to light during the Spring when setting new leaves said to allow plant to successfully be given more shade during Summer; leaves wilt slightly if dry, but will be O.K. after prompt watering; leaf prune in August and September; the leaves change color in the winter; keep soil moist but not wet in cold weather; soap insecticides are said to be bad for these trees; other dry location recommended species are A. ginnala and A. monspessulanum
