  • Description

  • Notes

Flame Amure Maple is a hardy tree with consistent brilliant orange-red to deep red foliage. Grown from a selected seed source, it was introduced to the nursery trade by the USDA Soil Conservation Service in 1978 and is now widely grown and appreciated for its toughness and adaptability to a wide range of climatic conditions. A low-branched or multi-stemmed tree, it matures to a height and spread of about 20 feet. Leaves emerge light green early in the season; mature foliage is medium green and fined textured.
