Acer tegmentosum is cold-hardy down to USDA hardiness zone 5a (-29 °C). At maturity (20 plus years) it can reach a height of 10–15 metres (33–49 ft) and a spread of 8 metres (26 ft), with greenish-grey bark with bright white stripes. Leaves are not compound, each up to 12 cm across, round in general outline but with 3 shallow lobes (sometimes with two small additional lobes near the base), the lobes doubly toothed at the edge.[4][5][3][6] The green leaves turn bright yellow before falling in Autumn. In cultivation in the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.[2]
