red leafed tree

Question

I live in Niagara Falls, New York. I have a garden in sun 85% of day at least. I had planted a variety of Japanese maples (skeeters broom). It was a short tree/bush that grows to about 8 ft tall by 5 ft wide, perfect for what I’m after. It never grabbed and the nursery has given me a store credit for spring. I am not stuck on that particular tree but want a 12-15′ height max and I want red leaves. Please any solid suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

A Red Leaf Maple is a good choice in your growing zone.
