The Trident Maple is a very popular outdoor deciduous tree that is easy to train. It is a fast-growing plant, which will rapidly produce a thick trunk with lots of character. The attractive leaves turn yellow orange in autumn.Trident maples are often grown in the root-over-rock style.
Young plants are easy to train and are widely available from bonsai nurseries. Although trident maple, which is native to eastern China, Korea and Japan, is hardy, like other maples it requires some protection in areas where winter temperatures fall below -3°C. It prefers full sun in the growing season, but it also benefits from partial shade on the hottest days, because strong direct sunshine will scorch its leaves. 
Never allow trident to dry out completely during the growing season; nor should they be overwatered. Wait until the surface is slightly dry before watering. In spring and summer you might have to water twice a day. In winter, make sure the compost remains moist but not waterlogged.
