Amur Maple
What: A choice, exceptionally hardy small maple tree (Acer ginnala) reaching 20 feet in height and spread. It delivers spectacular fall colour in vivid shades of orange, scarlet and burgundy, with ornamental red samaras in late summer.
Best use: Perfect as an accent tree for small home landscapes. Its neat habit and manageable size make it ideal for mass planting and hedges/screening, while its low canopy makes it suitable for planting under power lines.
