Acer circinatum 'Burgundy Jewel' (Pre-Order)
from $49.00
Acer circinatum ‘Burgundy Jewel’ (Vine Maple)
‘Burgundy Jewel’ is a truly unique vine maple, treasured for its rich wine-colored foliage and strong seasonal interest. In early spring, the tree leafs out a deep maroon-red, displayed on large, rounded circinatum-type leaves. This saturated color holds impressively well into summer, creating a dramatic contrast to the typical green vine maple.
To maintain its striking color, ‘Burgundy Jewel’ performs best with at least morning sun to full sun, though it prefers afternoon shade in hotter climates. Too much shade will cause the foliage to turn greener, while full afternoon sun may cause leaf burn.
This upright vine maple grows into a dense, rounded form, reaching 6–7 feet in about 10 years. In autumn, the foliage transitions beautifully through intense oranges and bright crimsons to deep maroon reds, ensuring a brilliant fall display.
‘Burgundy Jewel’ stands apart as one of the few true red vine maples, offering color and character rarely seen in the species.
