Hot Wings Tatarian Maple

Hot Wings Tatarian Maple is a compact ornamental maple known for showy red winged seeds, tidy branching, and attractive fall color. This small deciduous tree offers seasonal interest, filtered shade, and a refined landscape presence for sunny yards, patios, borders, and smaller garden spaces.

Why choose Hot Wings Tatarian Maple?

Choose Hot Wings Tatarian Maple for its distinctive scarlet-red samaras, which create a colorful summer display that often looks like flowers from a distance. Its smaller mature size makes it easier to place than many shade trees, while the green foliage and warm fall tones add reliable seasonal appeal. It works beautifully as a specimen, patio tree, small lawn tree, or accent near entries where its colorful seed display can be appreciated up close.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Acer tataricum ‘GarAnn’
Common Name: Hot Wings Tatarian Maple
Plant Type: Deciduous ornamental tree
Growth Habit: Compact, rounded small tree, often single-stem or multi-stem

Hot Wings Tatarian Maple Additional Information

Hot Wings Tatarian Maple begins the season with small spring flowers, followed by its signature bright red winged seeds that bring bold color in summer. The leaves are green through the growing season and typically shift to shades of yellow, orange, or red in fall before dropping. Its compact scale and rounded canopy make it especially useful where a full-sized maple would be too large.

This deciduous tree is well suited for sunny residential landscapes, patios, small lawns, mixed borders, and parkway-style plantings where overhead space allows. It is adaptable once established and can be maintained as a single-trunk tree or a graceful multi-stem form. Prune young trees to encourage strong structure, and remove stray seedlings if they appear in nearby maintained beds. Its colorful samaras, manageable size, and seasonal foliage make it a standout small-tree option.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Hot Wings Tatarian Maple in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Set the root flare at or slightly above the surrounding grade, then backfill with native soil and water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing seasons to help establish a strong root system. Once established, provide supplemental water during extended dry periods, especially in hot, windy, or sandy locations.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch over the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch pulled back from the trunk to protect the bark and root flare.

4. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, crossing, or crowded branches. Train young trees for a balanced canopy while preserving the naturally compact rounded form.
