Shantung Maple is grown as an ornamental plant in Europe and North America.

Acer truncatum is very unusual among maples in showing hypogeal germination.

The larvae feed on Acer truncatum.

The cultivar 'Keithsform' () is a hybrid between Acer truncatum and Acer platanoides (Norway Maple).

The eastern Asian species Acer amplum, Acer pictum, and Acer truncatum are also very closely related, and often confused with A. cappadocicum in cultivation.
