Vine Maple ‘Burgundy Jewel’ – Rare Acer circinatum Hybrid with Deep Burgundy Foliage in #3 Container
Add rich color and collector-worthy beauty to your landscape with this live Vine Maple ‘Burgundy Jewel’, a rare Acer circinatum hybrid prized for its deep wine-colored foliage and exceptional seasonal display. Discovered as a chance seedling by Gordy Hallgren of Peacedale Nursery in Washington, this unique vine maple stands out for its bold maroon-red leaves that emerge in spring and hold their dramatic color through summer — a rare trait among Acer circinatum varieties.
In autumn, the foliage transforms into glowing shades of fiery orange, bright crimson, and deep burgundy for a spectacular fall show. Compact and multi-stemmed, ‘Burgundy Jewel’ develops into a dense ornamental shrub or small tree reaching approximately 6–7 feet tall in 10 years, making it ideal for smaller landscapes, Japanese-inspired gardens, specimen plantings, and maple collections.
Sun-loving and adaptable, this rare ornamental tree creates striking contrast in any garden setting. You will receive a healthy live tree similar in size and condition to the one shown in the listing photos.
