Very similar to the ' Bloodgood ' cultivar this one retains it's color better in shade and leafs out in spring a couple of weeks later to avoid frost damage. It grows small to about 15' but will develop a wide crown in the right spot. These when mature will have a blackish reddish bark for winter interest. Will grow in zones 5-8. Thanks for looking
