aka Japanese Maple

Oh this is just gorgeous! Rich crimson foliage in spring, deepening in colour as summer progresses. Attractive crimson scarlet shades in autumn. Add to all this the black stems and you have an absolutely stunning feature tree. Happiest with protection from strong winds. Deciduous.

This Maple is considered one of the best for coastal areas though it should still be planted in a sheltered position.
