CRIMSON SENTRY / CRIMSON RED - now 5½ - 6 feet tall in 3 gallon pot $40  OR  9 -10 feet in 5 gallon pot $75

Summer foliage of this maple is deep purple to burgundy or deep crimson, depending on planting conditions.  (Full sun will enhance the leaf colors.)  Crimson Sentry is an excellent choice to border a path, driveway, or roadway because it grows less than 25 feet tall and stays fairly narrow.  A mature Crimson Sentry is wind resistant and drought tolerant.  It is a suitable variety for coastal areas as it has tolerance for salt spray.  In spring, the branches have small yellow blossoms before the leaves emerge.  In fall the burgundy foliage turns bronze and crimson.  Developed in 1972 - nearby in Hubbard Oregon - this maple is well suited to our climate & city size yards.  Acer platanoides ‘Crimson Sentry’ (also tagged ‘Crimson Red’) USDA Zones 4-9

BLOODGOOD - about 4½ feet tall now, planted in 2 & 3 gallon pots $40

This award winning maple has a non-invasive root system so it is ideal for small city yards and curbside strips. It can be planted closer to structures than other maples; it also grows well in containers for a deck, entry, or patio.  In spring it has little purple flowers, then red leaves emerge, aging to deep burgundy (depending on the amount of sunshine it receives.)  In winter the deep reddish-black bark adds interest and texture.  Bloodgood is easy-care and one of the hardiest varieties of Japanese Maple, maturing at approximately 15 feet tall.  Acer palmatulm 'Bloodgood'  USDA Zones 5 -8​
