Acer cappadocicum (Caucasian Maple)

Cappadocian maple is deciduous tree  native to mixed forests from Turkey to the Caucasus, the Himalayas and southwestern China.The name cappandocium comes from  Cappadocia (ancient region of Asia Minor now part of central Turkey) where this tree was discovered growing in the late 1700s . It can grow to 15 m  tall and to 10 m  wide.  Palmate, 5 to 7 lobed leaves emerge purplish green in spring, mature to dark green by summer and  turn golden yellow to red in fall.  It growsn separate male and female flowers on the same tree in early spring. Double-winged samaras ripen in fall. Unlike most maples, this species usually produces root suckers around the base of the tree.
