Please forgive me but I have been eavesdropping on this forum. A few years ago I purchased a Japanese Maple from a nursery near here that has since re-located. The Pictures that I am going to post are all of the same JM. One picture has some larger trees in the background so don't confuse them with the fore pic. This JM has beautiful orange to deep red spring leaves and is green in the summer but returns to this orange to deep red in the fall. This tree is Approx. 10 to 12 feet tall.. Ellie from the dl forum, ya'll...
