Amur Maackia, 'Maackia amurensis, is a small, deciduous tree with a broad, rounded habit. It typically grows at a slow to moderate rate to a height of 20 30'. Amur Maackia features erect, narrow, spike like clusters of fragrant, dull white, pea like flowers which appear in late spring. Flowers are followed by flat seed pods 2 3 long. The multi divided leaflets are greygreen when young but mature to dark green, and often drop in fall without significantly changing color. Best grown in average, medium moisture, well drained soil in full sun to part shade, but prefers full sun. It can adapt to a wide range of soil conditions. Use as a small shade tree or as a street tree where the peeling, orangebrown, shiny bark is especially noticeable.
