Acer palmatum Moonfire
This is a very very cool red cultivar but has a brightness that rivals Fireglow but brighter.. there may be two trees with this name as some sources have it as a dark purple .. the ones I have are brighter and stunning to say the least.. It holds it's color the summer better than Bloodgood. I have this one planted out and it is spectacular and a fast grower. About 8' at ten years.
