Flame Amur Maple

Flame Amur Maple (Acer ginnala 'Flame') Flame Amur Maple (Acer ginnala 'Flame') is a hardy, adaptable small tree or large shrub selected for its reliable, vivid fall color and manageable size. It brings a refined, three-lobed leaf texture through summer, then turns on a bright red autumn display that can light up the landscape and read clearly from a distance. The compact scale makes it easy to place in residential yards, mixed borders, and along property edges, where it adds canopy presence without overwhelming the space. If you want a plant that delivers a strong seasonal payoff and functions as a focal point in smaller landscapes, Flame Amur Maple is an excellent choice. Distinctive Features The signature trait is fall color, with foliage that often turns a strong, saturated red, making it one of the most dependable small-scale trees for autumn impact. In spring, small fragrant flowers may appear, followed by winged seed clusters that add subtle seasonal detail later in the year. It can be grown as a multi-stem large shrub for a more naturalistic look, or trained into a small tree form for a cleaner silhouette. The canopy has a lighter density than many larger shade trees, allowing filtered light to reach understory plantings and making it easier to integrate into mixed garden designs. Growing Conditions...
