Burgundy Belle Maple Tree

Burgundy Belle Maple Tree – Vibrant Fall Color in a Compact Shade Tree

Acer rubrum 'Magnificent Magenta'

The Burgundy Belle Maple Tree brings bold seasonal color, balanced structure, and low-maintenance charm to landscapes large and small. Native to Wisconsin and bred for compact beauty, this red maple cultivar is known for its symmetrical shape and stunning fall transition—from lush summer green to vibrant red and finally a deep burgundy as the season cools.

Compared to typical red maples, Burgundy Belle is more compact in size and form, making it an excellent choice for residential lawns, city planting strips, or lining long driveways. It's also tough—thriving in a wide range of soils, including soggy, clay-heavy, or urban conditions.
