Acer palmatum Hefner's Red Select
A nice new bloodgood type JM that holds color in summer much better than bloodgood or most other JMs .. It was developed for the south . This past horrible 2012 summer it was a world class winner among the scant few that did okay in full sun and held it's color can take sun and wind better than most . Has a very nice tree form .
