Amur Maackia
Hardy and slow-growing, Maackia amurensis (Amur Maackia) is a small, deciduous tree with a broad, rounded canopy of attractive dark olive green leaves divided into 5-7 leaflets. The foliage often drops in fall without significantly changing color. In early summer, dense, erect panicles, up to 8 in. long (20 cm), of fragrant, white, pea-like flowers are on display. Attractive to pollinators, they are followed by flat seed pods, 2-3 in. long (5-7 cm). The shiny, coppery-bronze bark exfoliates with age into loose flakes and curls. Very easy to grow, Amur Maackia adds a pleasing presence in the landscape and makes a lovely street or shade tree for lawns and patio containers.
