DaisyI said:Don't worry about the spots and tears - that's just a sign that its getting late in the season. Damaged leaves are normal this time of year.

The bigger problem is what kind of a Japanese Maple do you have? The red leaves aren't early fall color, they are red leaves. There is a third type of leaves at the bottom of the tree - I suspect they are from the root stock.

You may have a red colored maple that is reverting to green.

Well, when I transplanted the tree it was early spring and all the leaves were closed like buds. In around late April they began opening, and the entire tree leaves were green with a reddish tint on the edges. So I dont think its reverting to green. Could it be reverting then to red now? Why do trees do this? Soil conditions?
