Negative distantkin On Nov 3, 2007, distantkin from Saint Cloud, MN (Zone 4b) wrote:

Loved this tree but is considered invasive. From the MN DNR...
"Ecological Threat:
It displaces native shrubs and understory trees in open woods, and shades out native grasses and herbaceous plants in savanna habitat.
A prolific seed producer, Amur maple is becoming invasive in the northern U.S. Extensive wild populations have been found in Illinois and Missouri. It resprouts easily from the cut stump.
Amur maple is a native of central and northern China, Manchuria and Japan, it was introduced to North America in the 1860s. It is still being frequently sold commercially as an ornamental, and for wildlife and shelterbelt plantings."

Reaches a height of 15 - 20 ft at maturity. Very hardy for Oklahoma landscapes.

Neutral PerryPost On Mar 28, 2005, PerryPost from Minneapolis, MN wrote:

Beautiful fire red/orange/burgundy fall color, great small to medium sized clumping tree. Grows and reseeds in many different growing conditions.

Not recommended near native or naturalized areas. Is being watched in Minnesota and other states as being potentially invasive. Seedlings have been reported showing up in private restored prairie plantings.

Thrives in the pollution and compacted soil of midwest city conditions. Weigh the potential risks before planting in rural areas.
