Acer buergerianum 'Naruto' Tancho Kaede Trident Maple dec3 Okukuji nishiki Japanese MapleAcer buergerianum 'Naruto' Rare Tancho Kaede Trident Maple Zones 5 9 By our good friends "in the know" in Japan, we have confirmed this tree goes by two different names, 'Tancho' and 'Naruto'. From our best understanding, 'Naruto' translates from Japanese as "birds in flight" and 'Tancho' is a type of Japanese crane. This is very fitting for a tree with leaves that curl to look like a flock of origami birds are in flight upward toward the sky.
