The trident maple was ranked a Preferred Tree for Kansas by the Kansas Forest Service. And for good reason--
the shade tree has many features that make it perfect for Kansas City's climate.
The University of Missouri notes that the trident maple withstands city conditions and grows well in hot, dry areas.
The deciduous tree produces flowers in the spring and a samara fruit. The trident maple is slow-growing and pest-resistant.
