While very similar to 'Bloodgood', there are several differences. 'Emperor I' leafs out in spring about two weeks later than 'Bloodgood' (a good thing if we have a late freeze). Additionally, 'Emperor l' seems to hold its deep-burgundy leaf color in the heat of summer better than 'Bloodgood'. 'Emperor I' has blackish-red bark with maturity and its leaves turn brilliant scarlet-red in fall, before dropping for winter. 'Emperor l' may be planted in ALL-DAY summer sun if given supplemental water during dry weather.
