Maple - Compact Amur Maple
Maple - Compact Amur Maple The Compact Amur Maple, Acer ginnala 'Compactum', has a dense, compact, shrubby form, and it is multi-stemmed. The dark green leaves are three lobed with a long, pointed central lobe, and Amur's foliage is more delicate than the larger shrub. It displays a fantastic fall color that ranges from orange to red. The fragrant clusters of small, pale yellow flowers in spring are not particularly noticeable. The double samara fruit turns from green to brown in mid-summer. Compact Amur Maple makes an excellent hedge or individual specimen shrub, and the hedge can be sheared and maintained at 3 to 4 feet. This Amur Maple requires a well-drained soil, and it will tolerate shade, but develops a better fall color if grown in full sun. It is reasonably drought tolerant. * Fall Color * Hedge Plant * Fragrant
