Rare Authentic Chinese Trident Maple Bonsai – Genuine 唐枫 (Acer buergerianum)

This is the real deal: a classic Chinese Trident Maple (唐枫), not to be confused with the five-lobed Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum). Trident Maple features broad, thick, three-lobed leaves with a robust, leathery texture – distinctly different from the finer, five-pointed elegance of Japanese varieties. Its powerful, ancient look comes from the massive, bulbous nebari and exaggerated trunk taper, giving it that signature “old Tang” character loved by serious collectors.

In autumn, this outdoor bonsai erupts into one of the most intense red-orange displays among maples – deep, saturated fiery tones that dominate the tree. Well-ramified branches and mature structure make this specimen ready for immediate display or further refinement.

Key Highlights:

100% authentic Acer buergerianum – true Chinese Trident Maple (三裂叶，非日本五裂叶)

Massive nebari & dramatic trunk movement – thick, powerful base with classic Tang style

Explosive red & orange autumn colors – one of the boldest fall shows in bonsai

Mature, established deciduous tree – strong branching and fine ramification

Collector-grade quality – limited availability, shipped fresh from California

Perfect for bonsai enthusiasts seeking genuine Chinese heritage, bold seasonal color, and rugged ancient character. A standout Chinese trident maple bonsai that sets itself apart from common Japanese maples.
