This species is native to southeast Europe and western Asia in dry, sunny locations, usually as a forest understory tree. The leaves are a little bigger than the Amur variety of A. t. ginnala of 2 to 4 inches long and less sharp. The Amur Maple is considered as a little more ornamental, so Tartarian Maple is rarely found in the US.
