Acer palmatum ‘Rhode Island Red’ is an outstanding new dwarf selection, this upright tree boasts very dense, compact branching, which yields a round-to-ovate outline. It has mid-size, palmate leaves with a bright red, spring flush that darkens as leaves mature. Fall foliage is outstanding orange to red, and in winter, dark red stems add drama to the scene. From Rhode Island Nurseries, Middletown, Rhode Island.
