Acer rubrum 'Burgundy Belle'

Burgandy Belle Maple

Acer rubrum ‘Burgundy Belle’ is a refined red maple cultivar selected for its consistent form and deep, rich fall coloration. Spring brings small red flowers, followed by dark green summer foliage that forms a dense, attractive canopy.

In autumn, ‘Burgundy Belle’ turns deep burgundy-red to wine-red, often darker and more uniform than many standard red maples. The color develops evenly across the canopy, creating a bold yet elegant fall display. The growth habit is upright to oval-rounded, resulting in a well-shaped medium shade tree.

This cultivar performs best in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soils, including moderately moist sites. It tolerates urban conditions and is valued for its reliable structure and rich seasonal color.
