Yes, Acer negundo 'flamingo' likes ericaceous compost. The dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost in question makes Ericaceae (heath and heather) family members and select other plants happy. It serves as soil amendments, fertilizers, mulches, and rejuvenators for plants such as box elder (Acer negundo).
Acers will be quite happy in an ericaceous compost.
Maple family members grow more comfortably in ericaceous compost. The trees in question (Acer spp) tolerate the more acidic pH levels realized through applications of ericaceous (heath and heather family-related) organic amendments, fertilizers, and mulches.
Yes, maples like ericaceous compost. The kind of dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost in question tends to be associated with the Ericaceae family of heaths and heathers. But members of the Acer genus also tend to handle a compost that appeals to plants that prefer soil pHs in the acidic range.

Boxelder, Acer negundo, is the most widely spread of all North American Maple species. It is native to the lower 48 United States as well as all of Canada- with the exception of the Yukon Territory and Nunavut. It is typically found growing in river bottoms in heavy, wet, sometimes submerged soil.
The box elder is the only tree in the maple (acer) genus that has clusters of 3. All other maples have clusters of 5 leaves. The box elder Acer negundo is a native of North America . The leaves are pinnate with 3 to 5, sometimes 7 to 9 leaflets . So it could still be a box elder.
