Acer palmatum Ed Carmine
This is a very good all around red cultivar that gets maybe 15 ft over many years and holds color well in sun . It would need part shade in hotter locals . It is a new fav of mine .. great form very full and a chunky tree once it gets a few years on it .. grows fairly slow.. It may bronze out a bit in heat of summer but will at least have a reddish tone . It is also very hardy
