Acer palmatum Margaret Bee
Upgrade your Bloodgood with this baby. It is similar but a definite improvement in color shape and form. It is not as bright as Fire Glow but similar in habit but more slender/narrow with larger leaves and upright form. I would call it the deep cousin of Fireglow or better yet "Red sky at night" ("sailor delight" ). It is a VERY nice tree for your yard and can with time get much bigger than Fireglow
