Amur Maple is an excellent, low-growing tree for small yards and other small-scale landscapes. It can be grown as a multi-stemmed clump or can be trained into a small tree with a single trunk. The tree grows about 15 to 20 feet tall and has an upright, rounded, finely branched growth habit which creates dense shade under the crown. Small clusters of fragrant yellowish white flowers, to 1.5 inches across, in spring are followed by bright pink to red, two-winged samaras which often persist into late autumn or winter. Unlike most other Maples, the flowers of Amur Maple are fragrant. Toothed, 3-lobed green leaves to 3 inches long turn a brilliant red in autumn.
