Vine Maple

Acer circinatum

Vine Maple is a moderate-growing tree, hardy in USDA zones 5-9, that matures to about 10–20 ft x 10–20 ft. It does best in part shade and full shade with medium water needs in moist and well-drained soil. Expect red and white blooms in spring. It attracts birds and pollinators, stands up well to deer and grows happily in containers.
