“Recycled” Japanese Maple Tree

Years ago when I first purchased my home, the previous homeowner told me that she walked by a garden project and noticed that they removed a small Japanese Maple tree.  They were going to toss the tree out since the branches were not in a pleasing growth pattern.

She asked if she could have it and they gladly gave it to her.  She took the tree home and planted in her yard, (now my yard).

Now look at it and the leafy branches.  In the fall, the leaves turn a bright red color.  It’s like the ugly duckling that grew up to be a lovely swan.
