Does anyone have any knowledge of this species and/or its varieties? Is it suitable for bonsai?
Vance had stated the following which has me doubting.
The reason I ask is that it seems they are native to places not far from me and I am wondering if it is worth the trouble to look for a collectable one.
What I read from several plant databases is that they have 2-5cm leaves and bud back well after damage. Those things sound promising.

About the only native North American Maple reasonably suitable for bonsai is the Hedge Maple, this is not that. I am not sure which species it is but in the end you will probably consider your work with it like trying to domesticate a Zebra; looks like a horse but has its own mind, such is the case with native Maples.
