Amur Maple (Acer ginnala)

The Amur Maple, native to the Amur River valley bordering Russia and China, is a hardy and adaptable tree well-suited for a range of Canadian climates. This tree is renowned for its seasonal foliage changes, with leaves turning from green in the spring and summer to vibrant reds and oranges in the fall.

With a mature size of 15-20 feet in both height and spread, the Amur Maple is an ideal choice for small and large gardens alike. It can serve as a natural screen or as an attractive standalone feature. Suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8, this tree demonstrates significant resilience to various environmental conditions.

The Amur Maple is tolerant of different soil types, including those in urban areas, and shows drought resistance once established. This makes it a practical choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet visually appealing tree. Its compact size and beautiful seasonal color transitions offer an aesthetic appeal without requiring extensive care.
