    Hi,
    I have this one from seed, it looks pretty cool, nice red bark and 3-lobed leaves, but I lost the tag I made a long time ago. Any idea what it can be ?...

    Most likely Acer tutcheri sp. from what I've been told...

    Or a hybrid thereof. There is significant variation in tutcheri geographically it would seem, I don't think the species is fully understood. It should have white hairs on the vein axils.

    What's the seed provenance?

    I think it's from the seeds exchange a couple of years ago, a mixed batch.
