Everything about Acer Ginnala totally explained
Acer ginnala (
Amur Maple) is a species of
maple native to northeastern
Asia from easternmost
Mongolia east to
Korea and
Japan, and north to southeastern
Siberia in the
Amur River valley.
It is a
deciduous spreading
shrub or small
tree growing to 3-10 m tall, with a short trunk up to 20-40 cm diameter and slender branches. The
bark is thin, dull gray-brown, and smooth at first but becoming shallowly fissured on old plants. The
leaves are opposite and simple, 4-10 cm long and 3-6 wide, deeply palmately lobed with three or five lobes, of which two small basal lobes (sometimes absent) and three larger apical lobes; the lobes are coarsely and irregularly toothed, and the upper leaf surface glossy. The leaves turn brilliant orange to red in
autumn, and are on slender, often pink-tinged, petioles 3-5 cm long. The
flowers are yellow-green, 5-8 mm diameter, produced in spreading panicles in spring as the leaves open. The
fruit is a paired reddish
samara, 8-10 mm long with a 1.5-2 cm wing, maturing in late
summer to early autumn.
It is closely related to
Acer tataricum (Tatar Maple), and is treated as a
subspecies of it (as
A. tataricum subsp.
ginnala (Maxim.) Wesm.) by some botanists. They differ conspicuously in the glossy, deeply lobed leaves of
A. ginnala, compared to the matt, unlobed or only shallowly lobed leaves of
A. tataricum.
It is also valued in Japan and elsewhere as a species suitable for
bonsai.
