The Amur Flame Maple (Acer ginnala ‘Flame’) is a compact, ornamental maple tree renowned for its brilliant fall color and adaptable nature. A versatile small tree or large shrub, it grows 15–20 ft. tall with a rounded, multi-stemmed form that fits beautifully into both residential landscapes and larger plantings. In spring, clusters of fragrant, creamy-white flowers emerge, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal charm. Through summer, its glossy, medium-green leaves provide dense shade and a lush backdrop for garden plantings. As autumn arrives, the Amur Flame Maple truly shines—its foliage ignites into fiery shades of scarlet, crimson, and orange, creating one of the most dazzling fall displays of any small tree. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8, this tough and adaptable variety tolerates heat, cold, and a range of soil conditions, making it a reliable performer across much of the country. Its shallow root system makes it an excellent choice for slopes and erosion control, while its modest size makes it perfect for courtyards, patios, or street plantings. With its 4-season beauty, wildlife-friendly flowers, and stunning autumn color, the Amur Flame Maple is a low-maintenance standout that delivers both ornamental and functional value to any landscape.
