During the summer, many turn lime-green colored or bronze, while others maintain true red or green.
Japanese Maples, botanically speaking, are Acer Palmatum; acer, meaning acrid (the Maple genus); also from a Latin word meaning sharp, refering to the hardness of the maple wood used for Roman soldier's spears; and palmatum, meaning shaped like the palm of the hand.
The first thing most people will comment on is their gorgeous color.
