Acer palmatum Lozita
I have always lusted after this tree since first acquiring a specimen and wanted badly to offer it to others especially in the north as an alternative to all those friggin' Bloodgoods!!. Now I have found them. This is probably one of the best red smaller to mid sized red upright JM I own. It does not lose its color in summer, is hardy, and takes some wetness. It seems to grow slowly at least up here. If you want a great red smaller upright... Lozita is for you.
