Flame Maple - Acer ginnala 'Flame'

The Flame Maple is a vigorous Acer ginnala cultivar renowned for its brilliant scarlet autumn transformation and ornamental winged seeds. This deciduous tree reaches 15-25 feet, offering a graceful, spreading canopy that provides dappled shade while maintaining an open, airy appearance. Exceptionally cold-hardy and adaptable, it flourishes across northern climates and tolerates variable soil conditions with moderate watering needs. The cultivar displays exceptional pest and disease resistance, requiring minimal intervention for sustained health. Summer foliage transitions to fiery red tones in fall, creating a striking seasonal display. Its compact to medium size makes it well-suited for residential landscapes, while its multi-season interest—including attractive exfoliating bark—establishes it as a versatile specimen for discerning plantings.
