Very interesting. I took a look at my stems and half are reddish and half are green. The thin shoots though are not red like in this picture. My leaves are also slightly differant with 5 lobes not as thin a lobe as in this picture. My tree came from Brent.
Mine hasn’t started changing yet, but I have a feeling it isn’t gonna look as pretty this year with the crispy leaves on it. Usually it turns orange, red, and a beautiful purple. I’ll post once it starts changing.
