Burgundy Jewel Vine Maple (Acer Circinatum) – 1 Gallon Pot

Closely related to Japanese maples, ‘Burgundy Jewel’ is a fantastic selection of Vine Maple showing off very large leaves in unusual colors that change through the seasons. Spring leaves are a deep purplish burgundy wine holding their color well into summer. By the end of summer the leaves transition to coppery and green shades. Cool temperatures in fall bring a kaleidoscope of colors in shades of orange, scarlet, burgundy and deep maroon reds. In winter the deep reddish-purple branches and stems take the stage. Foliage colors are more intense with more sun, so we suggest at least 5 or more hours of direct sunlight per day. Burgundy Jewel forms an erect vase shape up to 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide at 10 years of age. Excellent as an accent or specimen in smaller garden spaces, home foundation plantings and around patios and other outdoor living spaces. Can be grown as a multi-stemmed shrub or lower branches can be removed to form an attractive multi-trunk small tree.
