Ivy-leaved Maple or Ivyleaf Maple - Acer cissifolium Maple family: Aceraceae Also commonly called "vine-leafed" maple. [Tree Encyclopedia] [Trees Table of Contents] |

This Morton Arboretum Specimen was started as a cutting 49 years
ago.

The ivy-leaved maple is native to Japan, and
is hardy to USDA zone 5. It is a small deciduous tree, growing
to 30 feet tall and as many wide. It can be allowed to grow with
multiple trunks, as the specimen here (Fig. 3). Its leaves are
opposite, compound, with 3 leaflets, each 2.5 to 3 inches long.
Leaflets are thin and glabrous (devoid of hair or pubescence),
unlike other trifoliate maples. Autumn foliage is variable, red
or yellow. |
