Flame Amur Maple

This is a small Flame Amur Maple Tree (Acer ginnala) that has lovely spring flowers and a showy fall display! The Amur's charmingly fragrant scent heralds the spring each year, and you'll adore the clusters of dainty white-pale yellow flowers scattered among its branches.

The 3-inch leaves consisting of 3 lobes provide your tree with a vibrant bright green color throughout the summer. There's no doubt that you'll feel your anticipation rise as autumn approaches and your Amur spices up your yard with stunning shades of scarlet!

The seeds are a samara that begins with a reddish hue and turns a light tan. They appear as seeds with tiny wings that enchant the viewer with their gentle manner of helicoptering along on the autumn breeze.

One of the great things about this small deciduous Maple is that you can grow it as a small tree or even a shrub. It rises 15 - 20 feet with a spread of 15 - 28 feet and a lovely rounded crown. Cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8, becoming a highly adaptable ornamental for your garden!

Landscape Application:

A colorful Amur Flame Maple would look spectacular planted along the street in front of your home! Park yours on a raised berm in your front yard or as a tidy row dividing your front yard from the street or a busy sidewalk.

There's no need for a lot of room to have this tree grace your home! A grouping becomes a bird-friendly hangout while rows of these trees become gorgeous hedges and property divisions, both as shrubs with their limbs to the ground or as trees with their lower limbs exposed.

It can be allowed to grow into a large shrub or pruned to a multi or single-stemmed small tree and it doesn't demand any special care or concern! You can even use the Flame Amur Maple as a container or patio tree!
