Acer pycnanthum is dioecious, with separate male and female flowers. The bark is grey and longitudinally fissured, sometimes giving a shaggy appearance. The leaves, which emerge a bronze-green color in the spring, are shallowly lobed and have a whitish bloom on the underside. They turn yellow, orange, red, and purple in the autumn. It is similar to the smaller Acer rubrum.
