    Saw a maple a local greenhouse today. It had small 5 point palmatum leaves that were curled at the edges. The leaves were small in size and the tree was about 8-9 feet tall and pretty twiggy. I looked for a tag and didn't see anything. The employees were busy with customers and I wasn't going to buy so I didn't bother anybody.

    *It wasn't a Shishi. I already have one of those guys.

    Any ideas?
