The Garden Maple (Acer micranthum) is a small, often shrubby maple to 8-10 m tall, native to Japan. It has lobed, toothed leaves with five palmate lobes, similar to Redvein Maple (Acer rufinerve) and Amur Maple (Acer ginnala). It is one of many small maples that are used in temperate-zone landscaping, noted for the red bark on shoots up to a year old, and brilliant red fall color. The young leaves in spring also emerge red.
