Flame Amur Maple
Korean Maple

A selection of the Amur Maple, the Flame Amur Maple has a brilliant red fall color. The leaves emerge bright green and turn a fiery red in autumn. The seeds on the Flame Amur maple are also a pleasant red color, adding color interest to your yard or garden.

The Korean Maple is an ideal accent tree, and is similar in size and shape to the Japanese Maple, but much hardier. The leaves have long, finger-like lobes that turn striking shades of yellow, orange and red in autumn.

It is recommended that pruning be done during the summer after the leaves have fully developed to ensure sap does not "bleed" down the tree.
