Photo showing the springtime foliage on a common mountain maple (acer palmatum). This particular Japanese maple has been trained as a large outdoor bonsai tree, with its spring leaves emerging as an attractive browny red colour. Soon after, the leaves will turn a rich green colour for the rest of the growing season, before their dramatic autumn display arrives in the fall.
