Acer maximowiczianum, also known as Nikko maple, is a species of maple tree found in China and Japan. It is a slender deciduous tree with dark gray to blackish bark and trifoliate leaves. The leaves have three leaflets and are covered in soft pubescence. The tree produces hard, horizontally spreading samaras with parthenocarpic tendencies. It was first introduced to cultivation in 1881 and is rarely seen outside of arboreta. The largest specimens in England can reach up to 17 meters in height and 70 centimeters in trunk diameter. In the United States, it can be found at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston.
