Acer palmatum Fall's Fire
I think this is just a fabulous tree .. It is on my top ten and is both super hardy and very pretty. Leaves are heavily serrated and pointed and medium sized.. it is fairly thickly branched . Mine has grown slowly under a lot of shade but in fall ZOWIE it pops .. it is suppose to get big and probably does in better growing areas but mine looks destined to be a semi dwarf for years. Summer jpeg show will try to get a fall one up soon..it is strikingly bright red. Highly recommended
