Vine Maple

Vine Maple, or Oregon Vine Maple, is a multi-stemmed understory shrub or small tree with sprawling branches that reroot, sometimes forming a clump or thicket. Usually reaching about 20 feet in height, Vine Maple bears wine-red flowers in the spring and provides handsome red and orange fall color. The two-winged samara fruits ripen to red in the summer and attract many species of birds and mammals. This perennial, deciduous tree grows in partial shade and moist soils, but will tolerate drier conditions.
