Thought it would be interesting to compare/contrast leaves from all maples in the garden.
All from bonsai material
Top L-R: Acer Palmatum Sango Kaku (Coral Bark), Acer Palmatum ‘Atropurpureum’, Acer Palmatum Sango Kaku , Acer Palmatum unknown
Middle L-R: Acer Bergerianum (Trident), Acer Campestre (Field Maple), Acer Palmatum unknown#2, Acer Palmatum ‘ Deshojo’, Acer Ginnala (Amur Maple), Acer Palmatum unknown#4
Bottom: Acer Palmatum ‘Sango Kaku’
If anyone can identify the unknown cultivars please let me know. Or also if I have misidentified any. These all came from individual trees that are in pots or being field grown for bonsai purposes. Deshojo is definitely the winner at this time of year.

Variation on named species is common. I think the most important thing is that they are to the scale of the tree.
