Acer palmatum Skeeter's Broom
This is a vigorous grower so give some protection in colder areas cause of late growth and tenderness. It is similar to other more dwarf JM’s like Royle with its small tightly clustered leaves. Supposedly a relative of the Bloodgood in smaller form …but doesn’t seem quite as hardy . VERY VERY pretty more so than the Bloodgood and a tree everyone should own even in a container if necessary.
