Acer palmatum Carl's Corner
Tightly held leaves and branches that are small and shrubby with a somewhat upright growth pattern . Very nice color throughout the summer. This one is a keeper but can over time get big if not trimmed, as always all dwarfs are super easy to trim since they are shrubby and compact . This one can take some sun and is very hardy even does okay in wet areas. It was discovered out east and as such is a good cultivar for non southern growers . But if shaded it will do well in south .. This one is a keeper as one of the better red dwarf cultivars.
