Herbstfeuer

This is suppose to be a cross between a Acer Palmatum and Acer Circinatum. It has disc shaped leaves and cool purple stems.This tree has superior fall color. The name in German means autumn fire. I never felt real comfortable with the "feuer" name but have decided it is just too cool to pass up. It is very vigorous and upright with really cool larger leaves as well as wide branching for those that like a nice full colorful tree
