Elizabeth is very very similar to Kandy Kitchen, both horrible names for a Japanese maple but good plants. Red leaf tight dwarfs they are a hair more vigorous than Shaina,et al. Red all summer and even brighter in the fall.

DWARF, red. Habit like Acer campestre this cultivar will grow into a dense upright shrub. The 'Burgundy Lace' red foliage clothing the branches starts out bright pink-red changing to a purple-red as it matures. The color contrast on a branch is just eye catching! Holds its color nicely right up to the fall when it becomes vivid red
