Siebold's maple is characterized by a densely branched, rounded crown that typically reaches a height of 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) and a similar width. It features deciduous, palmate leaves with five to seven lobes, which transition to vibrant colors in autumn. The leaves are roughly 3 to 5 inches (7.5 to 12.5 cm) in width, with a texture that may be described as leathery. Its small, purple flowers are grouped in panicles and emerge in spring, followed by paired winged fruits, commonly known as samaras, that disperse in the wind.
