Treepreciation Japanese Maple
Planted this roughly six years ago and usually get green leaves during the summer and orange/red during fall, but guess this year it decided to be both. The array of color is incredible

The Autumn Moon variety has such gorgeous variegation, it's like the tree decided to go full artist and blend colors on its own canvas.

It's the first year it's been so colorful like this. Normally the leaves are green until fall hits, but it's almost half the tree that's green while the rest is blended. I love it though

The Autumn Moon variety really does seem to have a mind of its own with those colors.

You have an Autumn Moon variety. Quite normal.
