Tatarian Maple is quite similar to Amur Maple and the two species readily hybridize when grown together. Tatarian Maple grows slightly larger and is naturally more tree like in growth habit. Samaras are slightly larger and usually develop a good red coloration when maturing. Fall color is usually yellow to reddish brown and less striking than that of Amur Maple. A good tree for planters or patios.

Requires well drained soils. Tolerant of shade. Fairly drought tolerant.

Limitations:
Does not tolerate poorly drained soils. No major insect or disease problems.
