Amur Maple Clump
Acer ginnala
Compact, hardy, and vibrantly ornamental, Amur Maple Clump is a small, multi-stemmed deciduous tree that offers year-round appeal. Especially popular in urban landscapes and smaller gardens, this cold-tolerant tree is valued for its brilliant fall colour, fragrant spring blooms, and versatile form.
In spring, delicate clusters of creamy white, lightly fragrant flowers emerge, offering early-season interest and attracting pollinators. Its small, lobed leaves are a deep green throughout summer and transition into a fiery display of red, orange, and scarlet in autumn—often among the most striking of any maple species.
Reaching 15–20 feet tall and wide at maturity, Amur Maple Clump forms a rounded, dense crown ideal for privacy screening or specimen planting. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil types, including dry or alkaline conditions. Hardy to Zone 2, it’s an excellent choice for Canadian gardens from the Prairies to the Maritimes.
Whether planted as a feature tree, hedge, or part of a naturalized landscape, Amur Maple Clump offers reliable structure, seasonal beauty, and strong cold climate performance.
