What the Tree Decided

Botanical Name: Acer buergerianum

Common Name: Trident Maple

Story of the Tree

This trident maple started as a two-inch liner from a Santa Rosa nursery around the year 2000. No dramatic intervention shaped it — the tree grew naturally into its crooked form, and the bark developed on its own over the years that followed.

Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is get out of the way.
