Our local Shop-ko got a shipment of Trident maples about 6' tall this year. Of course they are not hardy here in the ground but it's the way they markrtrd them. Whatever nursery supplied the rees had Amur maple tags on them with a picture on the front of the tag. Then they covered up the words Amure maple with Trident maple on the front of the tag!
If you were to turn the tag over it says they are hardy to -40º , just like an Amur maple.
They have 1 1/2 to 2" trunks so they'll make nice chops.
They went on sale and I bought 10 of them for $5.00 a piece.
