Sometimes listed as Acer tataricum, Amur maple is a small, low-branched, deciduous tree native to eastern Asia.
The glossy rich green leaves of Amur maple are somewhat slender and often three-lobed. Its best forms have foliage that turns fiery red in fall, though all Amur maple offer brilliant fall color in shades of red, yellow and orange. The fall leaves are accompanied by prolific and showy clusters of winged red fruits. These are preceded by subtly pretty clusters of ivory-green fragrant blooms that appear in spring.
A tough and adaptable tree, Amur maple demands only well-drained soil and at least a half-day's sun. Multi-stemmed specimens can be grown more like shrubs if pruned and maintained to remain bushy. Its small size and toughness also lends it to urban landscapes with space constraints. (source: learn2grow.com)
