Vine Maple (Acer Circinatum) – 5 Gallon Pot

A beautiful sight to behold in the woods or near streams or other bodies of water, and just as its name implies, this Maple tends to vine in a shady environment, where its stems beautifully sprawl through other plants in the vicinity. Well-suited in the shadow of larger trees, it can be grown as a multi-stem large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive single or multi trunk small tree. Tiered branching reminiscent of Japanese Maples hold symmetrically-lobed and delicate soft-green leaves that are tinged in red in spring turning vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red in the fall. In full sun, which we suggest only for cooler climates, it forms a small tree to 25 to 30 feet in height, and maybe half that height in shade.
