{"product_id":"ruby-slippers-amur-maple","title":"Amur Maple: 'Ruby Slippers' - 5Gal (Br)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"646\"\u003eThe Ruby Slippers Amur Maple is a compact ornamental tree valued for its striking seasonal colour and manageable size, making it especially useful in smaller urban landscapes and prairie gardens like those in Regina. It develops a dense, rounded crown with deep green leaves that turn brilliant shades of red and crimson in autumn. In spring, it produces creamy-white fragrant flowers, followed by red samaras that add ornamental interest through summer. Its excellent cold hardiness and tolerance of tough site conditions make it a reliable choice for Saskatchewan landscapes, where it can be used as a specimen tree, hedge, or small shade tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"670\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–12 ft (3–3.5 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"694\" data-end=\"705\"\u003eSpread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 ft (2.5–3 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"744\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"778\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade; best fall colour in full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"839\" data-end=\"848\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adaptable; prefers well-drained soil but tolerates clay and urban conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"943\"\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular watering during establishment; drought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1021\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zone 3, very reliable for Regina winters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1081\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal pruning needed; shape in late winter if required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1170\"\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light spring application of compost or balanced fertilizer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1234\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-maintenance and well-suited to urban conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1316\"\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small shade tree, specimen planting, screening, and fall colour accent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bron \u0026 Sons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39295021711415,"sku":"","price":141.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/3306\/8855\/products\/Acer-RubySlippersAmurMaple.jpg?v=1619311527","url":"https:\/\/sherwood-greenhouse-and-gardencentre-ltd.myshopify.com\/products\/ruby-slippers-amur-maple","provider":"Sherwood Greenhouse and Garden Centre Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
