I asked my Japanese Maple man about seedling maples and he said that they are like snowflakes, no two are alike.

I did buy a dwarf, Beni Fushigi - see what you did to me? It will only get six feet tall at maturity. A bushy character with small leaves, it's bright red in the spring and the fall. It had been in the sun so was red and green, but in as much shade as it gets will probably turn greener. I love the form.
