This, densely branched shrub usually grows into a small, multi-stemmed tree. Eventually it generates a nice solitary because of its spreading crotch angle of the branches. In spite of its slow growth this maple can reach a height and a spread of more than 10 m in maturity. In its natural habitat in Asia and Russia even taller specimen can be found. Young and slender twigs, receiving sufficient sunlight, turn red-brown. More mature branches have a grey colour. Of the 3-lobed leaf, the central lobe is narrow and long. Important ornamental value is the autumn colouring of the glossy, dark green leaf into many hues of red to orange. This often stands out much better in a sunny site. The fibrous root growth is flat and shallow. A very hardy plant, well resistant to air pollution, drought and salt for icy roads.
