He adds that the whole maple family is one of great beauty and that he has many planted near streets and roads which give an abundance of shade and are the glory in the autumn. The tree surveys conducted in 1971 and from 1974 to 1978 note the abundance of Amur maples in the Hadwen Arboretum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group section is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div style=\"color:var(--clarku-color-green)\" class=\"eyebrow  has-text-align-left\">Keep learning<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detailed species information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amur maple is a species of small deciduous tree in the family Sapindaceae native to northeastern Asia and Russia. The Amur maple typically grows to 10\u201333 feet (3\u201310 meters) in height and 8\u201316 inches (20\u201340 centimeters) in trunk diameter. Its gray bark is smooth when the tree is young and becomes shallowly fissured with age. The Amur maple\u2019s dark green and shiny leaves are three-lobed with serrated edges. In the spring, small, yellow-green flowers emerge and in the fall, the leaves turn brilliant shades of red and orange. The fruit of the Amur maple is two-winged seeds known as samara which are typical of many maple species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amur maple is known for its ability to spread aggressively and can become invasive in some parts of North America. The Amur maple is often used in landscaping as a specimen tree or shrub due to its uniquely shaped leaves, brilliant fall foliage, and small size.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acer ginnala The Amur maple is small maple with shiny, three-lobed leaves which turn brilliant colors in the autumn.
