Acer rubrum 'Magnificent Magenta' Burgundy Belle®

Acer rubrum ‘Magnificent Magenta’ Burgundy Belle® (Red Maple)

A striking, improved selection of red maple valued for its consistent shape and rich seasonal color. This cultivar forms a compact, rounded canopy with excellent branching, making it a dependable shade or specimen tree. New foliage emerges with red tones in spring, matures to dark green through summer, and finishes the season with deep burgundy-red fall color that develops evenly across the canopy. 

In early spring, small red flowers appear along the branches before the leaves emerge, adding subtle seasonal interest. This variety is noted for its adaptability, tolerating heat, drought, and a wider range of soil conditions than typical red maples. 

A reliable choice for lawns, streetscapes, or larger landscapes, it offers strong structure, long-lasting fall color, and low maintenance once established.
