Plant Details

Amur Maple is a very useful small tree. It will fit in most back yards. It grows so dense that it is an excellent screen, and it will fit under power lines. It’s native range is the Amur Valley region of NE China. Developing in this
area of difficult winters and dry summers, this tree is both hardy and drought tolerant. Once established it should need little additional watering. It is tolerant of a variety of soils, including alkaline. It will grow in shade
and tolerates salt. Acer ginnala is pest free but is susceptible to Verticillium Wilt, as are most Maples. Acer ginnala is a vigorous grower when young, but slows down as it approaches it’s mature size. Some initial pruning may be necessary to establish a good canopy. “Flame’ was chosen for it’s utstanding brilliant fall color and pleasant upright rounded form.
