Acer pseudosieboldianum (Pax) Komarov Korean maple
Korean maple is native to China and Korea. In North America, it is not found in the wild. Identification: These small maples reach 33' (10 m) in height, but are usually shorter, and form a rounded crown up to 20' (6.1 m) around. They have palmlike leaves with 7-13 distinct, sharply lobed leaflets, making them similar in appearance to those of Japanese maple. The flowers are purple. The scientific name Acer pseudosieboldianum was chosen because these trees resemble A. sieboldianum—Korean maples are distinguished by a sticky white layer of hairs on young leaves. Korean maples are very cold-tolerant, surviving in climates where Japanese maples cannot, down to –40°F. The leaves are brightly colored with yellows, oranges and reds in the fall. Online References:
