Dear Lynn, thank you for your comments and I am sure some of you readers may like this Article?
The Acer (maple) you refer to is
Acer palmatum var. dissectum:
'Garnet' but most people call it
Acer palmatum 'Garnet.' Although there is a difference between a dissectum and a straight palmatum. In that one has dissected leaves and one has palm of a human hand like leaves. i.e, Five lobes.
