Acer ginnala – Amur Maple

In stock

Acer ginnala or Amur Maple is a small deciduous tree or large shrub that originates from South-East Asia. It has several stems and a broad umbrella shaped crown, creating a spreading, dappled canopy. It is particularly useful in exposed sites where other plants will not thrive and will even grow in planters between high buildings where the wind creates a tunnelling effect. 

The autumn display from an Acer ginnala is certainly a sight to behold; its finely lobed leaves begin as a fresh green in spring and summer before transforming into fiery shades of red, orange, and yellow in autumn, providing a striking seasonal display.  The bright red winged seeds during the summer months are another attractive feature of the tree.

Amur Maple is adaptable, thriving in a variety of soils, including those that are well-drained and slightly alkaline. It tolerates both full sun and partial shade, though its autumn color is most vibrant in sunnier spots. Known for its resilience and low-maintenance requirements, Acer ginnala is a popular choice for urban gardens, borders, and small landscapes. It works well as a specimen tree, hedge, or screen, bringing beauty and structure to garden designs year-round.
