Rough-barked maple (Acer triflorum)
Also known as: Three-flowered Maple
Rough-barked maple starts out as a bush but almost always ends up as a tall tree. Its reddish trunk is very scaly and complements the bluish-green undersides of its leaves. It makes a great standalone tree for a garden or a park after 15 years of slow to moderate growth.
