Acer palmatum Wou nishiki
A very hardy JM with nice color throughout the season making this a perfect JM for this area and has an additional plus .that it can take some sun. I have become fixated on this tree. Yes the name is cool, but the tree is unusually perfect for these parts and seems to thrive here. That being said it is really, really pretty in both color and form. A must have for this area, or just about any place else within JM growing zones.. But does NOT like wet areas plant high and dry
