VINE MAPLE (Acer circinatum) |
Native to western North America and very common in the Maritime Northwest as an under story tree that grows below other much taller forest tree and conifers. A very colorful small multi-stemmed shrub or small tree growing to about only 15-20 ft. New growth in the spring has a reddish tinge, followed by small flower clusters.

Makes a great nesting site for birds. Paired winged seed pods (called samaras) in summer look like red bow ties. Bright yellow to orange-red and glows in sunlight in autumn. Great for erosion control. Vine Maple is similar looking to a Japanese Fullmoon Maple and can be used to similar affect in Japanese themed gardens.
