Summary

Acer tataricum, commonly known as Tatarian Maple, is a deciduous tree or large shrub native to a variety of habitats including forest edges, riverbanks, and open grasslands in Central and Eastern Europe and West Asia. It typically grows to 4–12 meters (13–39 ft) tall, with a short trunk up to 20–50 centimeters (7.9–19.7 in) in diameter and slender, spreading branches. The leaves are simple and opposite, with a rounded or ovate shape and a serrated margin. In spring, as the leaves unfurl, Tatarian Maple produces whitish-green flowers in spreading panicles, which are followed by distinctive paired reddish samaras, each 10–12 millimeters (0.39–0.47 in) long with a 2–3 centimeters (0.79–1.18 in) wing.

Tatarian Maple is valued for its moderate size, which makes it suitable for smaller landscapes, and its adaptability to a range of soil types, including those with poor drainage. It thrives in full sun to part shade and requires moderate watering. This species is often used for ornamental purposes due to its attractive bark and fall color, which can include shades of yellow to reddish-orange. It can serve as a specimen plant, in borders, or as a street tree in urban environments. However, gardeners should be aware of its potential to become invasive outside its native range and should consult local guidelines before planting.CC BY-SA 4.0
