Amur Maple

Acer ginnala White flowers on the Amur Maple make it a pleasingly fragrant tree in April and May. It is a good choice for a small tree as it grows no taller than 20' and 30' wide, providing dense shade for its size. For this reason, it's a good container plant, also because it tolerates wind, dry soil, and heavy pruning. In fall, its scarlet leaves are stunning. *Deer May Browse* Photo courtesy of Toms Creek Nursery in Denton, NC Ornamental Characteristics Category Shade or Specimen Tree Foliage Type Deciduous Height 20' - 30' Spread 15' - 30' Shape Upright, spreading, often multi-stemmed Primary Foliage Color Bright Green Seasonal Foliage Color Showy, Scarlet Red Flowering Season Spring Flower Color White Red-winged seeds Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Slow Sun Preferences Full Sun Water Preferences Average: Prepare planting area for adequate drainage.
