Plant description

The Emerald Elf Amur Maple is a dense multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form.  The leaves of this delightful plant are opposite and toothed, and it tends to leaf out early in the spring. While it can be grown as a small tree, it is more commonly found as a shrub. The attractive features of the Emerald Elf Amur Maple include fragrant flowers, small size, and beautiful fall foliage. In autumn, the leaves usually turn deep red, sometimes bright yellow. Clusters of small, creamy flowers are followed by dangling red-winged samaras that hang on the tree until late fall.
