Maple, Flame Amur

Flame Amur maple (Acer tataricum 'GarAnn') is a deciduous tree that is commonly used as a specimen or accent tree in landscapes. It is a cultivar of the Amur maple and can grow up to 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) tall and wide.

The tree has a rounded habit with a dense canopy, and produces small, fragrant white flowers in early spring that are followed by red fruit in summer. Its foliage is a striking combination of red, orange, and yellow throughout the growing season, which is where it gets its name. The Flame Amur maple has a smooth gray bark when young, which eventually develops some furrows and fissures as the tree matures.

Flame Amur maple is known for its beautiful fall color and its adaptability to a range of soil types and environmental conditions. It is also relatively pest and disease resistant, and tolerant of urban conditions, such as air pollution and compacted soil.
