Acer palmatum 'Rhode Island Red'

Pretty funny to pull Rhode Island Red up on google, it comes up with a bread of chicken. It seems to be a medium to small size tree. The one I have is very full. The shape also looks good.

 

Here is the Rhode Island Red in july

 

Nice. In what type of sun/shade exposure have you had it?

 

it has been in mostly shade and it still has had this great red

 

Here is mine in a full sun location.

 

As usual, one of the first to leaf out for me. Always better appreciated when looked at from the opposite side of the sunshine.

 

Lovely at all times of the year N, I remember the discussions you had with D @LoverOfMaples on this one early last year. I don't tire of seeing it.

 

Early May color. If anyone needs a dwarf red variety with an incredibly dense branching habit, this is the one. Considering I removed about 75% of the main branches in late winter, it is doing quite well. (My husband asked me “why did you shape it like a lollipop?”, he does not realize that it is a work in progress...)

 

But even lollipop trees have their place in a garden N.
As I said last year, never tird of seeing this one.

 

I thought I would post a picture of my supposed 'Rhode Island Red'. It seems that it doesn't know it is supposed to be a dwarf anymore and has grown to be really rangy and tall. I took a photo of its leaves in comparison to 2 other leaves of larger red trees I have. I am wondering if dwarfs revert or grow larger sometimes?

 

This is one of my latest purchases! but what a red color! he is a beautiful dwarf.
it lights up the flower bed
