Answer 1

A few possibilities...

One, are you sure the name is "amber", and not "Amur"?: http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/trees/handbook/th-3-85.pdf

This tree may be a variety of a species and "amber" is the variety name. For instance, there's a variety of Norway maple called "Crimson King" so the full name would be Norway Maple "Crimson King" (or, Acer platanoides "Crimson King"). I have no idea on what tree "Amber" might be a variety of, though, sorry!
