SMALL LEAF MAPLE, MONO- Acer mono Maxim.
Maple family - Aceraceae Juss.
Tree up to 15 m, individual 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, bare, more or less pubescent. The leaves are almost always five-lobed (only occasionally, at the bottom at the base there is another pair of rudimentary lobes), 6-11 cm long and 9-12 cm wide, the lobes are entire, occasionally slightly wavy along the edge, drawn into a long pointed point. The leaves are dense, glabrous and only the youngest have beards on the underside at the corners of the veins. On coppice shoots, the leaves reach 15 cm in length and are usually cut more deeply. Inflorescences with 15-30 flowers. The flowers are light yellow or slightly greenish, 6-8 mm in diameter. The fruits are lionfish 1.5-3 cm long, diverging at an acute or obtuse angle. The wings are slightly narrowed upward, 1.5-2 times longer than the nuts.
It blooms at the very beginning of the leaves blooming, at the end of May, or more often at the beginning of June. The seeds ripen in late August-early September.
Distributed in the Far East (Amur region, Primorye, Sakhalin, Kuril Islands). General distribution: China, Korea Peninsula. Grows in deciduous and mixed forests, along the edges of coniferous forests, on river terraces and slopes, up to an altitude of 1000 m above sea level; singly or in small groups.
Bark maple small-leaved in the form of a decoction in India is used as an astringent, and the leaves are used as a wound-healing agent.
The juice is suitable for making soft drinks, jelly, sweet cereals and for baking.
The wood is suitable for the production of high-grade plywood and small crafts.
Maple small-leaved can be successfully used for green construction, it is decorative, in the fall it has golden-yellow foliage, and in some specimens it has dark purple, almost violet. It grows successfully in a number of territories and regions of the former Soviet Union, far beyond its natural range (St. Petersburg, Moscow), but is not widely used in culture.
Method of preparation and use:
12 g of crushed bark per 200 ml of water, boil for 5 minutes, leave for 1 hour, strain. Take 1/4-1/3 cup 3 times a day for diarrhea.

Maple family - Aceraceae Jus.
Distributed in Primorye and Amur region, found on Sakhalin. Along the coast of the Tatar Strait it reaches Sovetskaya Gavan, along the Amur it descends to Nikolaevsk, and to the west it reaches the Zeya and Selemdzha rivers. On Sakhalin it is found in the central regions of the island (Alexandrovsky 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 on 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-cone-leaved forests. A typical tree of the second or third, less often - the first tiers. Its share in the forest stand ranges from 1-3 to 20-25% of the total wood supply per hectare. In the south of the range it rises into the mountains to 700-800 m above sea level. m., in the north - up to 200-300 m.
Tree up to 16-18, less often - up to 22-24 m in height and up to 40-60 cm in trunk diameter. The shoots are yellowish, the bark on young specimens is light gray, with longitudinal, often oblique, cracks. The leaves are usually five-lobed (sometimes there is another pair of small lobes at the base), 6-12 cm long and almost equal in width, dense, glabrous, with a flat, slightly wedge-shaped or heart-shaped base. The blades are long-pointed, entire-edged or with 1-2 teeth on large blades. The plant is monoecious. The flowers are light yellow, 6-8 mm in diameter, in 15-30-flowered corymbose inflorescences. Lionfish are 1.5-3 cm long, diverging at right or obtuse angles. Blooms in May (flowers are sometimes damaged 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 soils, it is content with poor, dry and rocky soils. Shade-tolerant. It grows quite slowly, reaching only 14-16 m in height by the age of 100. It is cold-resistant, but young leaves and flowers are often damaged by spring frosts. Renewed by seeds and stump shoots. Propagated by planting two-year-old seedlings from the nursery. Transplantation at 10-12 years of age is tolerated satisfactorily. An excellent honey plant, but due to frosts the honey harvest is often disrupted. Spring juice contains up to 2-2.5% sugar. Lives up to 250 years or more. The wood is sapwood, diffusely vascular, hard, heavy, shiny. It is durable, warps little, dries out evenly, is well processed, and successfully imitates ebony and rosewood. Disadvantages of wood: poor resistance to rotting in variable humid conditions; susceptibility of trees to false kernel disease (almost 100%, starting with a trunk diameter of 10-12 cm); significant curvature, knottiness and cross-layering of the trunks. Rots caused by maple polypore and irpex sponge (Lyubarsky, 1955) affect only overmature trunks and are located mainly in their butt part. A valuable tree for soil protection, ravine strengthening and roadside plantings. Decorative. Suitable for group, single and alley plantings. Successfully cultivated in the European part of the USSR up to the latitude of Leningrad.

The ovary is sessile, very short, straight or curved and semi-pendulous, first gray, then dark red, ovoid; stigmas are very short, red, bifid or later quadripartite, 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 tannins - 2-7%.
Flexible, thin and white rod, used for fine basket weaving.
Suitable for hedges and strengthening coastal slopes.
Because of the bitter leaves it is not eaten by livestock.

Maple family. A common plant in the Far East, China, and Korea.
Tree up to 15 m tall, with a dense, widely spreading crown. The bark on the trunks is gray, on young shoots it is light, yellowish, and goes well with dark brown or blackish, flattened buds. The leaves are 5-7-lobed, dense, smooth, matte green above and glossy below. In autumn they turn bright yellow or red. The shape of the leaf blade is similar to that of Norway maple, but is significantly smaller in size (2-3 times). The flowers are small, in 15-30-flowered inflorescences, yellowish, with a delicate aroma. Blooms at the very beginning of leaf development for 7-10 days,
Winter-hardy, shade-tolerant, prefers fresh, drained soil, wind-resistant. Relatively hardy in city conditions. Tolerates transplantation well. When propagating by seed, eight-month stratification is required at a temperature of 0-3°C. In the first 3 years it grows slowly. Blooms and bears fruit from the age of 11. Fruits ripen 14.IX ± 6. Produces seed reproduction. Seedlings need shelter for the winter; their winter hardiness is lower than adult plants. 20% of summer cuttings take root.
It has a marble (f. marmorata) shape - with leaves densely dotted with white dots and spots.

Write a review about the article "Small-leaved maple"NotesLinksAn excerpt characterizing the small-leaved maple- So I don’t remember anything, dear, when I return there... It is after death that we remember our lives and our mistakes. And as soon as we return to live, the memory immediately closes. That’s why, apparently, all the old “deeds” are repeated, because we don’t remember our old mistakes... But, to be honest, even if I knew that I would be “punished” again for this, I still would never stood aside if my family... or my country suffered. All this is strange... If you think about it, the one who “distributes” our guilt and payment, as if he wants only cowards and traitors to grow on earth... Otherwise, he would not punish scoundrels and heroes equally. Or is there still some difference in punishment?.. In fairness, there should be. After all, there are heroes who have accomplished inhuman feats... Songs are then written about them for centuries, legends live about them... They certainly cannot be “settled” among simple murderers!.. It’s a pity there is no one to ask...– I also think this can’t happen! After all, there are people who performed miracles of human courage, and they, even after death, like the sun, illuminate the path for all those who survived for centuries. I really love reading about them, and I try to find as many books as possible that tell about human exploits. They help me live, help me cope with loneliness when it becomes too hard... The only thing I can’t understand is: why on Earth heroes always have to die so that people can see that they are right?.. And when the same thing happens the hero can no longer be resurrected, here everyone is finally indignant, human pride that has been dormant for a long time rises, and the crowd, burning with righteous anger, demolishes the “enemies” like specks of dust caught on their “right” path... - sincere indignation raged within me , and I probably talked too fast and too much, but I rarely had the opportunity to talk about what “hurts”... and I continued. - After all, people first killed even their poor God, and only then began to pray to him. Is it really impossible to see the real truth even before it’s too late?.. Isn’t it better to save the same heroes, look up to them and learn from them?.. Do people always need a shock example of someone else’s courage so that they can believe in their own? ?.. Why is it necessary to kill, so that later you can erect a monument and glorify? Honestly, I would prefer to erect monuments to the living, if they are worth it... What do you mean when you say someone is “distributing blame”? Is this God or what?.. But it’s not God who punishes... We punish ourselves. And we ourselves are responsible for everything. “You don’t believe in God, dear?..” the sad man, who listened attentively to my “emotionally indignant” speech, was surprised. – I haven’t found him yet... But if he really exists, then he must be kind. And for some reason many people are afraid of him, they are afraid of him... At our school they say: “A man sounds proud!” How can a person be proud if fear hangs over him all the time?!.. And there are too many different gods - each country has its own. And everyone is trying to prove that theirs is the best... No, I still don’t understand a lot... But how can you believe in something without understanding?.. In our school they teach that there is nothing after death ... But how can I believe this if I see something completely different?.. I think blind faith simply kills hope in people and increases fear. If they knew what was really happening, they would behave much more carefully... They would not care what happens next after their death. They would know that they would live again, and they would have to answer for the way they lived. Just not in front of the “terrible God”, of course... But in front of yourself. And no one will come to atone for their sins, but they will have to atone for their sins themselves... I wanted to tell someone about this, but no one wanted to listen to me. It’s probably much more convenient for everyone to live this way... And probably easier too,” I finally finished my “deadly long” speech. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
