Hmmm... When you say red, you mean one that's always red?
I would be OK with a green one but do want vivid autumn colours.
Any acer recos welcome.

We have acer palmatum Ryusen in a ‘weeping’ style. Very pretty, quite small, leaves and lovely autumnal colours.
One thing to beware with acers is wind. They get scorched by windy conditions (leaves curl up and go crispy), so always good to have them protected.

They are slow growers so buy the size and shape you want, dont aim to wait for it to grow.
So, definitely go and see and buy in person.
These guys have a lot of choice

Acers, only advice don't get a red one if it's a really sunny spot as it'll burn. We made that error. They prefer a bit of a sheltered, shady spot.
