It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 4 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It has no significant negative characteristics.įlame Amur Maple is recommended for the following landscape applications įlame Amur Maple will grow to be about 20 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 25 feet. This tree will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed, as it may 'bleed' sap if pruned in late winter or early spring. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage. The lobed leaves turn outstanding shades of scarlet and in the fall.įlame Amur Maple is a multi-stemmed deciduous tree with a more or less rounded form. It features abundant showy scarlet samaras in late summer. May grow in either a multi-stemmed or single-trunk. Plant information taken from the Plants For A Future.A spectacular choice for its reliable blazing red fall color and bright red fruits in summer, this is a shapely small tree very hardy and adaptable, great as a fall accent in smaller home landscapesįlame Amur Maple is primarily grown for its highly ornamental fruit. Amur maple is a deciduous large shrub or small tree that grows to 20 feet, with brilliant red fall color. Known hazards of Acer ginnala: None known Forests at elevations of 100 - 800 metres in China. However, it sometimes is seen as a pruned hedge. Fairly easy from cuttings.Ĭultivation of Amur Maple: Found in many habitats in Korea, especially along streamsides and swampy places. Amur maple is a small tree that can grow up to 20 feet tall with a broad crown. The rooted cuttings must show new growth during the summer before being potted up otherwise they are unlikely to survive the winter. Remove a very thin slice of bark at the base of the cutting, rooting is improved if a rooting hormone is used. The cuttings should have 2 - 3 pairs of leaves, plus one pair of buds at the base. Cuttings of young shoots in June or July. It is common for this species to grow multiple stems. Layering, which takes about 12 months, is successful with most species in this genus. Identification: Amur maple is a large deciduous shrub to small tree, generally 15-18 tall at maturity. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on until they are 20cm or more tall before planting them out in their permanent positions. If the seed is harvested too soon it will produce very weak plants or no plants at all. The seed can be harvested "green" (when it has fully developed but before it has dried and produced any germination inhibitors) and sown immediately. Pre-soak stored seed for 24 hours and then stratify for 2 - 4 months at 1 - 8☌. The seed is best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame, it usually germinates in the following spring. Propagation of the herb: Seed of garden origin rarely comes true to type. The leaves contain the dyestuff quercetin. Black, blue and brown dyes are obtained from the dried leaves. Other uses of Amur Maple: The leaves are packed around apples, rootcrops etc to help preserve them. Habitat of the herb: Found in many habitats in Korea, especially along streamsides and swampy places. ![]()
