Some more pictures and some of the leafs can you tell me what type of maple it is
As I said before, this is the rootstock, which is grown from seeds.
It's probably:
Acer palmatum palmatum
or:
Acer palmatum matsumurae
or:
Acer palmatum amoenum
These are the three subspecies of Acer palmatum.
"Types" don't exist: there are species, subspecies, and cultivars.
For instance,
Acer palmatum (palmatum) 'Arakawa'
Acer palmatum (amoenum) 'O sakazuki'
Acer palmatum (matsumurae) 'Purple Ghost'
Acer palmatum is one of the most variable species, with something like a thousand cultivars (!!!) Since crossbreeding is also very frequent, it is just impossible to say what it is.
If you want to put a tagon it, just write "Japanese maple", or "Acer palmatum ssp."
