Amur Flame Maple (Clump)

The Amur Flame maple is an upright, laterally growing, multi-stemmed shrub with reliable “blazing” red fall color and showy red samara fruits in summer. It’s a very winter-hardy, adaptable variety that tolerates both wet and dry conditions along with heavy summer pruning to keep its shape.

This popular, versatile small clump tree suits a variety of landscape roles, most often grown as a specimen, but equally at home planted in groups or as a privacy screen.
