about our tries at growing, general information on the plant and
photographs. |

Tree & Shrub
Vine Maple Sunglow
Acer circinatum Sunglow
A dwarf habit, intense color changes, and a terrific ability to withstand heat and humidity. Each leaf is an exquisite little fan, and with every season come new hues to delight you. The leaves unfurl in spring a bright yellow overlaid with coral. You can still see traces of this coral around the edges in summer, and then in autumn the foliage turns a brilliant, rich plum. The look of these leaves might remind you of the Japanese Full Moon Maple, but Sunglow is a far better tree for warm climates. It is quite tolerant of heat and humidity, and is a native tree (found along the Pacific Coast). Culture it as you would a Japanese Maple, however, giving it a break from full afternoon sun. Sunglow reaches just 5 or 6 feet tall after 10 years' growth, eventually topping out at 8 feet high and 6 feet wide. It is a multi-stemmed tree with a full, dense, shrubby look that is very attractive. Give it partial sunlight only, keep it very well-watered and fed the first few years, and it will reward you with a lifetime of beauty. Zones 5-8.
