Have 6 of these in my front yard lining a horse shoe drive way. Does the job of a Japanese maple yet can take full sun without burning. Great fall color and makes a statement in mass.
There are a few Amur maples in the park near me and they do not look great! Planted too close together and have not been pruned since planted 10 years ago!
I just bought one for my yard! I lost 2 Japanese maples this year and too afraid to try and replace them in zone 5! Beautiful! Thanks for the video! Gives me an idea of how to prune some day!
I haven't seen that problem with Amurs but some Japanese maples seed and sprout all over the place. It is quite messy though with the clusters of samara (helicopters) and small leaves that drop constantly in late summer and fall. Worth it though, I think.

some types of maples are also very weedy.
