Burgundy Jewel (Acer circinatum 'Bugundy Jewel')

The largish leaves on this Vine Maple are dark dark red when they come out in the spring fading to a coppery late summer, but the fall color is varied and excellent. I used to tell people if they didn’t live in the northwest not to bother with vine maples but I am hearing people all over the country having some success. They are plenty hardy to about zone 5 but do not want summer water so if you live in a soggy area of the country, plant on a well drained mound.
