Vine maple
Vine maple grow to 12’x12′ but easily adapted to espalier or container. Space 3-5′ apart.
It is prized for its graceful habit & fall color, a wonderful addition to a woodland garden & a nice alternative to Japanese maple. Lovely planted with Redwood Sorrel & native ferns.
In shade it has more of a vine-like habit, climbing its neighbors. It is a cool plant that does best in moist, cool, part-shade.
Vine Maple is a larval host for the Western Tiger Swallowtail butterfly
