This
selection from Hefner's Nursrey in Conover, NC is the latest edition to
the better than 'Bloodgood' saga. Everyone is always looking for a
'Bloodgood' type tree that will tolerate sun and heat in hotter
climates and stay red all summer long. 'Heffner's Red Select' is
definitely better than 'Bloodgood' but as to whether or not this is the
holy grail, the jury is still out. Either way this is a nice small
round topped tree. Emerging bright red in spring, the foliage
quickly turns a very dark burgundy. The dark color should hold well
through summer in all but the hottest climates. Fall color is red.
