Hi guys, please lend me your knowledge and experience one more time. Would you be able to help ID the Japanese Maple below?

Nothing fancy, it is from a big box store, low price tag, so one of the most common ones is the answer. This is late fall, almost frost time color. Here in Quebec our first freeze is already due.
Many thanks in advance! Thank You!

It looks similar to one I have labeled Tamukeyama. I paid 10 bucks for the 1 gallon pot several years ago. I think it may be grafted.

There are far too many similar cultivars out there, to get any positive ID (if you're propagating or something). So be careful, please!
Learning to work with Mother Nature rather than against her, such that the more I harvest with thankfulness, the more she will most gladly and willingly provide.

I thank you a lot for your answer and I think you are quite right. But no problem, I'm not propagating, nor labeling, nor selling. Just curious to know what I've got. Not a real or serious "collector" either, I'm actually just happy to have any dissectum for such a low price, disregarding what actually is. I hope its sticks to the ground and does well. Sadly, I don't really have the space or the money to afford a carefully labeled collection. I wish I have! I also do conifers, and I arrived to the point where I content myself to have one of the most iconic or well known cultivars of each species.

Sounds neat. I enjoy finding my favorites among them as well. Smiling
