General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
Acer mandshuricum is cultivated as an ornamental tree for parks, street planting, residential gardens and bonsai. It reaches 8–12 m in height, has smooth grey bark and lobed leaves that turn yellow to red in autumn. Commercial nurseries propagate the species for its modest size and attractive foliage, and it is listed in horticultural databases such as the RHS Plant Finder and the Chinese Flora.
Wood and fiber:
The wood of A. mandshuricum is light‑colored, fine‑grained and moderately hard. Air‑dry density ranges from 0.58 to 0.71 g cm⁻³, bending strength 90–110 MPa and compressive strength 45–55 MPa. Because of limited timber volume, the wood is used locally for specialty furniture, interior joinery, veneer and small decorative items rather than large‑scale construction.
Properties relevant to use:
Key material properties include a cellulose‑hemicellulose ratio of about 45 % to 30 %, lignin content near 24 % and low extractives. The species shows low drying shrinkage (≈ 6 % radial, 9 % tangential) and good dimensional stability. These characteristics, combined with its moderate density and fine grain, make it suitable for high‑quality interior finishes, cabinet work and ornamental woodcraft.
Standards and regulation:
Timber from A. mandshuricum complies with standards applied to other maples: ISO 13061 for wood density and mechanical testing, EN 13556 for European hardwood grading and ASTM D7341 for bending tests. Adherence to these standards ensures consistent quality for small‑scale furniture and veneer applications.
Sustainability and sourcing:
The species is native to mixed forests of northeast China, the Korean peninsula and southeast Russia, with a limited and fragmented distribution. It is not listed as threatened, but commercial harvest is minimal. Most supply derives from cultivated nursery stock or locally managed wild stands that follow sustainable forest management practices.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Start at 4°C for 3 months, then warm to 20°C for another 3 months. |
| Requires Light or Surface Sowing: These seeds need light to germinate and should not be covered with soil or only very lightly. They are often very small and sown directly on the surface of the growing medium. |
| Requires Scarification: Scarification involves physically breaking, scratching, or softening the seed coat to allow water absorption and germination to occur. This can be done by nicking the seed coat with a knife or rubbing the seeds between sheets of sandpaper. |
| Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water. |
| soak 3 weeks in water to remove outer seed coat or pry it off, then slice off small portion of inner seed coat with razor |
