Small-leaved maple. Maple mono or small-leaved. Meaning and Application

Small Maple Maple  - Acer mono Maxim.
  Maple family - Aceraceae Juss.

A tree is up to 15 m, individual specimens of trees reach up to 24 m in height and up to 50-60 (70) cm in diameter. The bark is gray or dark gray, young shoots are yellowish, glabrous more or less pubescent. The leaves are almost always five-lobed (only occasionally, below the base there is another pair of rudimentary lobes), 6-11 cm long and 9-12 cm wide, lobes are whole-edge, occasionally slightly wavy along the edge, drawn into a long pointed. The leaves are dense, bare and only the youngest with beards on the underside in the corners of the veins. On shoots sprouting leaves reach 15 cm in length and are usually more deeply incised. Inflorescences with 15-30 flowers. The flowers are light yellow or slightly greenish, 6-8 mm in diameter. Fruits - lionfish 1.5-3 cm long, diverging at an acute or obtuse angle. Wings upward slightly narrowed, 1.5-2 times longer than nuts.

It blooms at the very beginning of leaf blooming, in late May, or more often in early June. Seeds ripen in late August and early September.

Distributed in the Far East (Amur Region, Primorye, Sakhalin, Kuril Islands). General distribution: China, Korea. Grows in deciduous and mixed forests, along the edges of coniferous forests, on river terraces and slopes, up to a height of 1000 m above sea level; singly or in small groups.

Bark maple tree  small-leaved in the form of a decoction in India is used as an astringent, and leaves - as a wound healing.

Juice is suitable for the manufacture of soft drinks, jelly, sweet cereals and in baking.

Wood is suitable for the production of higher grades of plywood and for small crafts.

Maple  small-leaved can be successfully used for green building, it is decorative, in the fall it has golden yellow foliage, and in some specimens it is dark purple, almost purple. It has been successfully growing in a number of territories and regions of the former Soviet Union, far beyond its natural range (St. Petersburg, Moscow), but has no widespread use in culture.

Method of preparation and use:

12 g of crushed bark per 200 ml of water, boil for 5 minutes, insist 1 hour, strain. Take 1 / 4-1 / 3 cup 3 times a day with diarrhea.

Botanical Description

Distribution and ecology

In nature, the species range covers North Africa and the temperate regions of Eurasia (from Spain to Japan and from Ireland and Scandinavia to Central Asia). Introduced to North America.

It grows along the banks of reservoirs, ditches, in damp meadows, sands, among shrubs.

Easily propagated by cuttings. Frost resistant. Lives up to 30 years.

An elegant thin-branched shrub 2-4 (up to 10) m high, usually about 1 m. The bark inside is lemon-yellow; outside with a bluish coating. The branches are flexible, bare, smooth, with white smooth wood that does not yellow in the air.

Buds 3-5 mm long, flattened, reddish brown (flower yellow), often opposite, glabrous. Stipules linear-lanceolate, up to 1.5-1.8 cm long, serrate, early fall. Leaves are dense, alternate or opposite, 3-13 cm long, 0.8-1.5 cm wide, narrowly obovate or lanceolate, usually at the top with a spiky pointed tip, thin, pale bluish-gray or gray-green , less often, on both sides pure green, whole-extreme, on petioles 3-6 mm long.

The catkins are lateral, sessile, densely flowered, cylindrical, female, sometimes narrow-cylindrical, 2.8 cm long, 2-4 mm in diameter. Bracts on male catkins are obovate, pale, darker above; on women - oblong, reddish, almost black above, silky-hairy. Two stamens, fused, with hairy filaments up to 3.5 mm long, four-nosed, purple, blackening anther and single, posterior, oblong-ovate nectaries.

The ovary is sessile, very short, straight or curved and semi-drooping, first gray, then dark red, ovate; the stigmas are very short, red, bifid, or later fourfold, diverging.

Flowering in March - May, before the leaves bloom or almost simultaneously with them. Fruiting in May - June.

The bark contains more salicin (0.6-1.5%) than other types of willows, but less tannids - 2-7%.

Flexible, thin and white rod, used for thin basket weaving.

Suitable for hedges and fortification of coastal slopes.

Because of the bitter leaves, it is not overeaten by cattle.

The family is maple.  An ordinary plant of the Far East, China, Korea.

A tree up to 15 m tall, with a thick, widely spreading crown. The bark on the trunks is gray, on the young shoots it is light, yellowish, goes well with dark brown or blackish, oblate buds. Leaves 5-7-lobed, dense, smooth, matte green on top and glossy on the bottom. In the fall they are painted in bright yellow or red tones. The shape of the leaf blade is similar to the leaf blade of the maple maple, but significantly smaller in size (2-3 times). The flowers are small, in 15-30-flowered inflorescences, yellowish, with a delicate aroma. Blossoms at the very beginning of the deployment of leaves for 7-10 days,

Winter-hardy, shade-tolerant, prefers fresh drained soils, wind-resistant. Relatively hardy in the city. It tolerates transplantation. With seed propagation, eight-month stratification is required at a temperature of 0-3 ° C. In the first 3 years it grows slowly. Blossoms and bears fruit since 11 years. Fruits ripen 14.IX ± 6. Gives seed reproduction. Seedlings need shelter for the winter, their winter hardiness is lower than adult plants. Rooted cuttings of 20% of summer cuttings.

It has a marble (f. Marmorata) shape - with leaves densely dotted with white dots and specks.

Maple family - Aceraceae Juss.

Distributed in Primorye and Amur, it is found on Sakhalin. Along the coast of the Tatar Strait reaches Sovetskaya Gavan, down the Amur River to Nikolaevsk, west reaches the rivers Zeya and Selemdzhi. It is found on Sakhalin in the central regions of the island (Aleksandrovsky and Kirovsky), and here it differs from the typical species growing on the mainland, and in some places it is an intermediate form between mono maple and beautiful maple. It grows singly or in groups along mountain slopes, ridges, foothills and river valleys among cedar-broad-leaved forests, in oak-hornbeam, oak-black-birch and other mixed forests, less often - in spruce-coniferous forests. A typical tree of the second or third, less often - the first tiers. The share of its participation in the forest stand ranges from 1-3 to 20-25% of the total wood supply per hectare. In the south of the range, the mountains rise to 700-800 m above sea level. m., in the north - up to 200-300 m.

A tree is up to 16-18, less often - up to 22-24 m in height and up to 40-60 cm in trunk diameter. Shoots are yellowish, bark on young specimens is light gray, with longitudinal, often with slanting cracks. The leaves are usually five-lobed (sometimes at the base there is another pair of small lobes), 6-12 cm long and almost equal in width, dense, bare, with a flat, slightly wedge-shaped or heart-shaped base. The blades are long-pointed, whole-edge or with 1-2 teeth on large blades. Monoecious plant. The flowers are light yellow, 6-8 mm in diameter, in 15-30-flower corymbose inflorescences. Lionfish 1.5-3 cm long, diverging at a right or obtuse angle. Blossoms in May (flowers are sometimes beaten by frost). The fruits ripen in September and soon fall. The roots are shallow, but well developed. Wind resistant. It is undemanding to the soil: preferring fertile, it is content with poor, dry and stony soils. Shade tolerant. It grows rather slowly, reaching only 14-16 m in height by the age of 100. It is cold-resistant, but young leaves and flowers are often beaten by spring frosts. It is renewed by seeds and air growth. It is bred by planting two-year-old seedlings from the nursery. A transplant at 10-12 years of age tolerates satisfactorily. Excellent honey plant, but due to frosts, honey collection often breaks down. In spring juice contains up to 2-2.5% sugar. It lives up to 250 years or more. Wood sapwood, diffused vascular, hard, heavy, shiny. It is durable, warps a little, dries evenly, is well processed, successfully imitates under black and rosewood. Disadvantages of wood: poor resistance to decay in alternating wet conditions; susceptibility of trees to the disease of the pseudo-nucleus (almost 100%, starting with a trunk diameter of 10-12 cm); significant overhang, harshness and slanting of trunks. Rot caused by maple tinder and irpex sponge (Lyubarsky, 1955), affects only overripe trunks and are located mainly in their butt part. Valuable tree for soil protection, gully and roadside planting. It is decorative. Suitable for group, single and alley plantings. Successfully cultivated in the European part of the USSR to the latitude of Leningrad.

Small-leaved maple - Acer mono Maxim. Distributed in Primorye, Amur, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. Flavonoids, tannins and vitamin E were found in the leaves, saponins and tannins were found in the cortex. The people sometimes used leaves as an irritant, and bark as an astringent. Juice collected during spring sap flow is rich in carbohydrates.
