synonyms 2 acer macounii greene acer modocense greene acer virgatum raf acer circinatum or vine maple is a species of maple native to northwestern north america vine maple typically grows as a low elevation coastal tree in temperate areas of high precipitation such as the west coast of oregon and northern california as well as the temperate rainforests of washington and british columbia 3 vine maples play an important role in conserving the biodiversity of lowland ecosystems by enriching upper soil layers and providing habitat for other organisms 4 5 6 an example of a vine maple with many stems growing from the root ball vine maples are epiphyte hotspots as demonstrated by the moss covered branches of this specimen description edit acer circinatum grows as a many stemmed shrub like tree it most commonly reaches a height between 5 and 8 meters 16 and 26 ft but can occasionally reach 18 meters 59 feet 7 it commonly grows as a spray of slender stems from 3 10 cm 1 4 in but in more tree like specimens the trunk can reach 25 cm 10 in 7 shoots are slender with smooth hairless bark 8 9 vine maple leaves are coarsely toothed and 3 to 14 cm 1 1 4 to 5 1 2 in in length they are palmately lobed with 7 11 lobes the lobe points forming a nearly circular pattern in the autumn the leaves turn bright yellow to orange red vine maples produce single flowers a single flower is a flower that produces one fruit that are 6 9 mm 1 4 3 8 in in diameter with dark red sepals and 5 yellow petals the fruit a two seeded winged samara is adapted for wind dispersal each wing is 2 4 cm in length and holds a seed approximately 9 mm 3 8 in in diameter 9 vine maple trees can grow by cloning which happens when a new shoot develops from a root or branch of the tree occasionally flexible vine maple branches will bend over and grow into the ground to form natural arch 10 this cloning characteristic known as layering 10 11 12 13 allows vine maple stands to grow quickly and makes vine maple a good contender for secondary succession after a woodland overstorey canopy disturbance 12 taxonomy edit acer circinatum is part of the palmatum group of maple native to east asia and north america with its closest relatives being acer japonicum fullmoon maple 14 and acer pseudosieboldianum korean maple 15 distribution and habitat edit acer circinatum can be found from southwest british columbia to northern california usually within 300 km 190 mi of the pacific ocean specifically along the columbia gorge and throughout coastal forests 8 9 it is found no further inland than the east side of the cascade range 7 acer circinatum is most often found growing interspersed within conifer forests of douglas fir pseudotsuga menziesii hemlock tsuga heterophylla and cedar thuja plicata 8 9 vine maples are also known to occasionally establish small colonial gaps within conifer forests where they proliferate after an overstorey disturbance such as the death of a large tree and are able to maintain the gap by preventing the re establishment of larger trees 16 17 ecology edit various birds such as nuthatches chickadees grosbeaks warblers waxwings vireos and woodpeckers eat the seeds of this species 5 4 as well as mammals such as squirrels and chipmunks 16 deer and elk also browse the foliage and beavers will eat the bark of young specimens 16 vine maples also host a variety of epiphytes non parasitic organisms that grow on other organisms such as mosses and lichens 6 though small compared to the conifer forests they inhabit vine maples are a good contender for forest resources due to the speed at which they grow and spread vine maples are able to establish and maintain dominance in natural forest clearings and quickly colonize new openings in the canopy caused by tree mortality 17 vine maples are an important member of the forest ecosystems of the pacific northwest because they cycle nutrients more quickly than conifers do and therefore create thinner more nutrient rich forest floor layers that promote biodiversity 17 vine maples drop more leaf litter than conifers and their leaves decompose faster leading to higher concentrations of n p ca mg k fe and zn near the surface of the forest floor 17 history edit acer circinatum likely entered western north america in the mid pliocene 5 3 2 6 mya 18 despite its isolation from many of the asian species with which it shares a common ancestor acer circinatum has not diverged significantly from its asian relatives in either appearance or genetics 14 cultivation edit it is occasionally cultivated outside its native range as an ornamental tree from juneau alaska 19 and ottawa ontario 20 to huntsville alabama 21 and also in northwestern europe 22 uses edit the quinault people used the shoots to weave baskets 7 gallery edit vine maple bonsai flower with reddish calyx and five short petals the fruit is borne in pairs with wings nearly 180 degrees apart it is initially green later becoming
