Amur Flame Maple Stephenson's Nursery Inc. Tamukeyama is an exception toAcer ginnala 'Flame' White flowers on the Amur Flame Maple make it a pleasingly fragrant tree in April and May. It is a good choice for a small tree as it grows no taller than 20' and 20' wide, providing dense shade for its size. For this reason, it's a good container plant, also because it tolerates wind, dry soil, and heavy pruning. In fall, its scarlet leaves are stunning. *Deer May Browse* Photo courtesy of Toms Creek Nursery in Denton, NC
