Acer circinatum Pacific Fire

Pacific Fire is our favorite cultivar of Acer circinatum. Pacific Fire has flaming red bark in the winter that dazzles in the landscape with color. The orange – red bark has a waxy sheen to it that really makes the bark shine. Nice bronzing of the leaves when placed in full sun. A multi branching shrub/tree like species that is slower growing. Fall color is bright yellows with some orange which really make a show against the fiery bark!

Pacific Fire reaches 10 feet in 8 years. Holds up well in the sun and heat, but will burn in extreme heat (> 90°) Hardy to -20 degrees. Best suited for zones 5-8, (some exceptions).
