MaplID

I know little if anything about Maple Id. I am seeing trees here in Anacortes, WA that are so dark burgundy they are almost black. Any Ideas on a name?

 

One of the purple-black Acer platanoides cultivars, such as 'Crimson King', 'Faassen's Black', 'Goldsworth Purple', or 'Schwedleri'?

 

Thanks for the info Michael. ;))

 

The first two are the most likely, in particular the first one. The last one does not stay fully purple through the season. There is also 'Royal Red'; North American landscapes often have introductions not prevalent or even present at all in Britain.

 

Thanks Ron for narrowing it down. barb
