Rare Chinese Maple
Zones 5-9
Acer robustum, also known as Acer ceriferum, is an extremely rare maple in section palmata, series palmata. The leaves of this Chinese maple are extremely round, almost like a full-moon maple, with more pubescence in the early spring. Specimens of Acer ceriferum are once again growing in Chapel Hill, NC and Philadelphia, PA making this mid-sized tree very hardy and a great tree for the landscape. Acer robustum also appears to be fairly frost resistant. In 20 years, this selection will reach about 15 ft in height. Fall colors are outstanding neon yellows to orange. Recently Peter Gregory published a paper on Acer robustum through the Maple Society's Open Science initiative that stated that Acer robostum should technically be referred to as Acer anhweiense.

Customer Reviews
As my quest is to collect as many Japanese maple trees as possible, MrMaple has been a reliable provider of my mission. While at my Nature Preserve in Michigan, I had a 'Robustum' planted there which is a RARE acer from China, and I thought, it would difficult or improbable that I would find another one anytime soon. But MrMaple offered this truly remarkable and rare tree. I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase another one for the nature preserve in New York State, and it will be included in Volume 2 of my upcoming books. My experiences with the staff at MrMaple has always been a pleasant and professional experience and I look forward to seeing more and more new and or rare maples being offered. I have been purchasing trees from MrMaple for many, many years and I will continue to do so.
Thank you.
