Acer tataricum ssp. ginnala, commonly known as Amur Maple, is a versatile and hardy deciduous tree or large shrub native to northeastern Asia. Perfect for diverse landscapes, it typically matures to 15-20 feet in both height and spread, adapting seamlessly to a variety of climates and conditions. This stunning specimen thrives in USDA Zones 2-8, and performs optimally in Zones 3-6. It is adaptable to full sun or partial shade, and flourishes in moist, well-drained soils, withstanding drought and clay soils when necessary. Amur Maple stands out with its fragrant, yellowish-white spring blooms and vibrant red to orange fall foliage, making it a seasonal focal point in any garden. Notably, it features distinctive three-lobed leaves, with the central lobe being prominently elongated. The tree's bright red samaras add a striking visual appeal from summer through fall. Easy to transplant and maintain, this maple can be used as a stunning patio tree, in screen plantings, or even as a bonsai specimen. However, potential buyers should note its invasive tendencies in certain regions of the United States.
