Acer palmatum 'Little Red'

An upright Japanese Maple with a somewhat narrow form. I would consider this a semi-dwarf. I have seen it tall and narrow and also smaller and more compact. The spring leaves are bright cherry-red, changing to medium red for summer. The color holds very well throughout the season. Originated as a witches' broom mutation. Discovered by Crispin Silva. The fall color is bright scarlet.
