Amur Maple

Acer ginnala · Tree

Amur Maple is a fast-growing tree, hardy in USDA zones 3-8, that matures to about 15–20 ft. It does best in part shade and full sun in well-drained and moist soil. Expect yellow and white blooms in spring. It attracts moths and pollinators, stands up well to drought, dry soil and pests and grows happily in containers.
