Acer palmatum Shojo nomura
This is another older super hardy red cultivar for northerners and others as well . It seems to take just about anything thrown at it. In the north it holds its color well in summer in south it greens out . It is of a smaller size than Bloodgood but of the same ilk for those that want a Bloodgood type tree but have space limitations.... and IMHO much cooler in every aspect than the overused Bloodgood.
