Acer palmatum Sanguineum
This is a truly outstanding tree .. there is some confusion whether this is the "actual original" Sanguineum.. But this is now what is available, albeit not readily available, in the trade. And the color matches the name whereas the one Vertrees describes DOES NOT!!! ..,. It is one of my top 10 fav trees winter hardy at least down to -17 below .. and is just season long gorgeous.
