Acer mono is a medium-sized deciduous tree with low-spreading branches, sometimes forming into a shrub. It has a light canopy of bright green leaves that turn yellow, orange, and scarlet red in the fall. Separate male and female flowers are produced on the same individuals, followed by subtle samara fruits.
