Planted a seedling from friends in 2015, in the corner where the low patio wall meets the higher wall.

It replaced the magnificent big one that had been there since 2008, but which had to be removed when it got a root disease and died. The new little sapling will fill the space the same way and shade the patio from the east eventually. 'Bloodgood' gets to be a big shady tree, large for a Japanese maple.

Leaves are brilliant crimson in spring and again in fall, but turn maroon in the heat of summer.
