FREE: 40ct. Amur Maple 'Flame' Acer ginnala flame Seeds

The listing, 40ct. Amur Maple 'Flame' Acer ginnala flame Seeds has ended.

The Amur maple is a tough tree, but it does best in cool or moderate climates. Its clumping habit creates a dense, sturdy form. The Amur maple grows best in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 3 through 8, tolerates low temperatures and does well with ice and snow. It prefers cold to hot and grows best where summer temperatures are not high and where humidity is low. Too much hot, direct sun, coupled with wind, can cause the leaves to scorch.

Nothing quite matches the splendor of an Amur maple in fall. The leaves glow in bright scarlet hues that frame the tree's bright pink winged seeds. To fully enjoy its beautiful fall colors, plant the tree outside a window, near an outdoor gathering space or take advantage of its clumping habit to create an attractive hedge around your front yard -- your neighbors are sure to enjoy the beautiful autumn colors as much as you. Or, use your Amur maple as a specimen tree, patio tree or as a container plant. The "Flame" Amur maple cultivar (Acer ginnala "Flame") is a particularly showy one that only reaches a height and width of between 15 and 20 feet. It grows in USDA zones 2 through 8.
