A reporter from local news station KFOR supposedly called it the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world, and estimated it was two to three times the magnitude of the massive tornados that hit Oklahoma in 1999. Updates to come. Updates:
Acer ârubrumâ refers to the color red, and red is certainly this treeâs defining feature. When fall arrives, your Red Maple will be one of the first to color, quickly cloaking itself in more of the vibrant red shades that give it its name.
The brilliant red fall foliage and compact shape of the amur red maple (Acer tataricum var. ginnala or Acer ginnala) make the deciduous tree a smart choice to anchor a front-yard planting or provide a focal point in a mixed border.
