Frequently Asked Questions
Amur Maple typically grows 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, balanced canopy that works beautifully in small gardens or mixed borders.
Minimal pruning is needed. Light shaping can be done in late winter to maintain form or remove crossing branches, but the tree naturally grows full and symmetrical.
The leaves turn vivid shades of scarlet, crimson, and orange in fall, often all at once, creating a glowing display that lasts for weeks and brightens the landscape beautifully.
