‘Rhode Island Red’ is a compact alternative to ‘Bloodgood,’ reaching just ⅓ its size. Its foliage emerges bright red, matures to a rich reddish-purple, and transitions to fiery orange in the fall. This petite variety is perfect for smaller spaces, offering all the vibrant seasonal beauty of its larger counterpart.
