Pacific Fire Vine Maple - Acer circinatum 'Pacific Fire'

The Pacific Fire Vine Maple is a distinguished Acer circinatum cultivar celebrated for its intensely pigmented foliage and architectural branching structure. This deciduous tree matures to 15-25 feet, developing a gracefully spreading canopy with naturally contorted limbs that create compelling winter silhouettes. Foliage emerges in deep burgundy, matures to lustrous green, then transitions to vivid scarlet and amber tones in autumn. Thriving in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil, it excels in woodland gardens and shaded landscapes where it provides dappled light and year-round visual interest. The cultivar exhibits robust cold tolerance and enhanced disease resistance, requiring minimal intervention for optimal performance. Its combination of native plant credentials, extended seasonal color display, and sculptural form makes Pacific Fire an exceptional choice for sophisticated shade plantings and specimen applications.
