My other field maple is growing well, this was another dig up a few weeks ago. i feel these two would be even further along had we had a better spring

I see you have the same color variation from one tree to the next as I see in my field maples.
One has a strong red blush that persists into the mature leaf and the new buds are scarlet as they emerge.
The second has only a faint blush that quickly fades to green and the new new buds are rosey.
The third is completely green. New buds all the way through to mature leaf not a hint of blush.
They've always been like this. They sit side by side on the bench and every treatment the same all the way.
