...a varigated trident maple

[Cadillactaste]

Didn't even know there was such a thing. First I thought it was a fungus.

Yes there is such a thing, though looking at that particular tree I am having a hard time seeing the foliage. Look up trident maple 'Goshiki kaede'.

For example: Broken Arrow Nursery

Thanks! I do see the varigated in that one you shared... I just didn't see the varigated foliage On this photo. Looked closely...I see no varigated at all.

I just posted one in a fix my trident thread. That are super slow growing. I mean super slow. Like half inch trunk takes ten or more years.

Not interested...for myself,just didn't see the leaf here as varigated. But thanks for the heads up...so different than what I think of Trident though.

You can see a little variegation on one leaf in the top right corner and one leaf in the bottom left corner ;-)

Actually...I don't wish to have any more maples in my bench...this year had more people asking "what is wrong with my maple" that...it seems to me they are fungus magnets. Just was surprised to see a varigated maple...

@Cadillactaste ,

Darlene,

you need to chillax, here have a cup of 90 deg.C White tea.
Did you look at the page ?
The maple is a fake.
Supposed to make you laugh

From my world of eternal spring, I send you a cooling breeze and the scent of Sweet Lime [ Murraya p ]
smells like Jasmine, called the 10 mile fragrance in China.
If you were able I would say get one just for the calming fragrance.
Have a great day.
Anthony

Sweet Lime in our tongue ----- Murraya

@Anthony ...I never opened the link. I am that...anti maple. Just saying...chillax...I'm chillaxing...The trees I have on my bench...I'm not stressing over. Just not going to be a maple. Just didn't realize there was such a thing as varigated trident. To hear they are slow growers are mind boggling when tridents usually are fast growers. But...I believe Al when he said that.

I suppose...just, would have imagined it brighter. And more variation of the tree itself. Almost pondered the color of those few leaves you mentioned...as if it was varigated...or ...something else I was seeing.

 

[ajm55555]

And more variation of the tree itself

I agree, it doesn't seem much variegated ;-) Never heard of a variegated Trident before though...

There are actually a few Acer buergerianum cultivars, but they are very rare and difficult to propagate.

'Akebono', very similar to:
'Goshiki kaede':
http://www.stanleyandsons.com/product/acr-0120/acer-buergerianum-goshiki-kaede.html

'Eastwood Cloud':
http://www.mendocinomaples.com/acer-species-cultivars/a-buergerianum-eastwood-cloud

Etc. This is from Gregory & Vertrees "Japanese maples" (Timber Press). They list 18 of them, and there may be a couple more.

One I would definitely like to lay my hand on is 'Mino Yatsubusa':
https://jcraulstonarboretum.wordpre...-of-the-day-acer-buergerianum-mino-yatsubusa/

But this is the maple enthusiast speaking, not the bonsai master-to-be : all these trees are grafted, and I'm not sure at all they would make decent bonsai....

Variegated leaf trees rarely make good bonsai anyway (I wrote "rarely").

Jeez, I don't know how you could look at @Smoke 's tridents or @MACH5 's JMs and NOT want one or maybe 50 maples. I'm no expert but I think that anthracnose that everyone has been getting is more prevalent in certain areas of the country. I have 2 tridents and they have been very trouble free and tough. I've only been working with them for 2 years so I have limited experience but I wouldn't be scared off by the troubles you've been reading about.

My thoughts exactly! Of course i have hundreds of maple cultivars in the yard so i am kind of biased. I am blown away whenever i see Machs or Smokes maple work!

 

[Cadillactaste]

I will admire them from afar...just as I do the beach. As I take hiking trails.

 

[jmw_bonsai]

Just to keep torturing Cadilactaste, JK, here are a couple trident maples grown in the ground by a friend of mine. A Root over Rock, a Mino Yatsubusa for AlainK and a variegated trident.

ha, I couldn't resist. Its a itty bitty one yet, but maybe will grow to a good looking candidate one of these days. For now, she looks like this (Fall 2017)

Maybe a Week ago
