Leaves are opposite and maple like though deeply dissected and each lobe is deeply serrated. Medium to light green in color, about 2" long. Fall color is nice gold though you might see some red depending on the site and the environment.
Flowers and fruit identical to other Japanese maples.
Misidentification: Doubt it.
