Hoyt Arboretum, Portland, Oregon, USA

Common name: Korean maple, Ulleung-do Island Maple

Family: Sapindaceae

Distribution: Korea

Hardiness: Zone 4a -30 to -25 F

Life form: Deciduous tree

Usage: Ornamental

Comments: This Korean maple is grown as a ornamental due to its cold hardiness, allowing it to be grown in areas Acer palamtum will not survive along with the intense red fall color. In the spring small purple flowers help to identify this maples species from the similar Acer sieboldianum.
