Acer cappadocicum subsp. divergens is a unique variant of the maple tree known for its striking foliage and ecological importance. Found primarily in the mountainous regions of eastern Turkey, this subspecies thrives in rocky and arid environments. Its leaves display a vibrant array of colors, especially in autumn, making it a notable sight in its native habitat. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in botanical circles compared to more common maple species. This plant exemplifies the adaptability and resilience of flora in challenging landscapes.
