Acer glabrum var. douglasii (Douglas Maple)
This small- to mid-sized native tree is similar to Vine Maple, but a much better choice for full sun and dry soils.
It reaches heights of 10 ft. (to ultimately, up to 30 ft.), often growing with multiple stems. Its vivid fall colors and red stems in winter give it excellent ornamental value and its tolerance to a variety of conditions (sun to shade and moist to dry soils) make it valuable for revegetation projects.
Attracts butterflies, and until it is tall enough, is likely to be lightly browsed by deer, so please give it a temporary cage or other protection if deer abound in your landscape.
