Soltan,
Consider the possibility that these are not trident maples, but instead Montpelier maples (Acer monspessulanum). They look very similar (exactly like yours) to tridents, but the lobes are a bit more rounded and the leaves a tiny bit thicker. If this is the case, Montpelier maples have very different needs than tridents--they like it dry and hot. I have about a dozen of them, and in my first year, they did the exact sample thing.
Sorry about the lousy photo--Ijust snagged it off the internet.
