Our native vine maple is a large shrub or small tree with dark green leaves. In fall the foliage will turn brilliant red-yellow. A. c. ‘Burgundy Jewel’ has deep purple growth most of the summer. The plant seems more stout and upright than the species. A nice color accent for the shade garden. Larger plants available at nursery.

The larger leaves on this Vine Maple are dark red-purple when they emerge in spring, fading to a coppery-red and green in late summer. The fall color is rich and varied and can give an impression of stained glass when the evening light shines through. This is an upright tree with stiff and stout branches forming a vase shape. The trunk and branches are an impressive deep reddish-purple--beautiful all year, but especially in winter. It's great for an accent, a focal point, or for a dense screen. And, obligingly, does not want much summer water. 6'T x 4'W in 10 yrs.
