    A vine maple with brilliant red stems all winter. This cultivar seems upright growing and the stems almost glow. The fall foliage is red and yellow.

    Striking coral and orange bark on younger stems is best enjoyed in winter, so plant it where that can be appreciated. More vertical than wide in habit. 18'T x 15'W Minimum temperature: -20°F

    By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

    A wonderful tree for year round interest. Spring leaves emerge orange-green turning green for summer and gold in fall. Through the spring and summer the bark is a light, yellow-green. In winter the trunk and branches turn to coral red.

    It's a hot vine maple...a real “wow” plant! Acer circinatum 'Pacific Fire's blazing red bark displays a waxy sheen that literally glows in the winter landscape, putting most of the other “red barks” to shame. During the spring and summer, fiery twigs and branches peek through large yellow-green leaves and in autumn, brilliant yellow foliage accentuates the contrast all the more. Like the native species, growth habit tends to be multi-stemmed, but it can also be trained as a single trunk specimen. Vine maples thrive in a wide range of soil types and once established, are quite tolerant of dry summers. Morning sun and some afternoon shade will bring out the best fall color.
