  • Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on Nov 27, 2013 11:30 AM concerning plant:
    Native in the Pacific Northwest, found in the understory of coniferous forests, often hugging a larger tree. Vine maples are usually the first trees to turn color in the fall, and put on a vivid show against the evergreens. They spread by underground roots, making them a bit difficult to transplant. I have had some luck using a saw to cut through the side roots to lift a young sapling (moving from my own back woods). These trees are often used in restoration or mitigation plantings.
