My Autumn colored threadleaf Japanese Maple.

I don't remember this beautiful orange color in the previous two years. Not sure how old this tree is as I moved here in 2010 and it is still growing.I can't get a good true color in the picture. It is a light pumpkin orange in reality.

This one is closer to the real color. I don't know why it wants to keep lightening the actual color.

I bet that's pretty with the brick. I don't know anything about JMs; is that far enough away from the house?

It was here when I moved in. I think it is a small bush like tree. Hopefully it won't get much bigger.

Nice looking tree. For what it's worth, I think that is sufficiently far from the house. With JMs you really don't have to worry about the roots tearing up your foundation or anything and when the tree does get bigger it would be pretty easy to selectively prune any branches that got too close to the house if that's what you want.

Funny thing, I think both colors are highly desirable. I'd take either one.

assume that tree is green in the spring/summer - mostly likely a viridis, closer look at the leaves would help - nice color

This picture was taken in 2012 around mid spring.

I cropped the leaves to show the detail. I am not sure how it will look once uploaded as it sometimes shrinks the pictures after they are uploaded.

Oh, nice form too Windy...beautiful.

I would guess viridis although hard to make out the leaves with the sun

Of course the different soils and conditions might make mine different, but my Viridis is not this color in the fall. It is much more red than orange.
