I'm looking for a small tree (10-20 feet tall) that looks similar to a Japanese maple. They location in my backyard gets at least 6 hours full sun. I like the red fall color that Japanese maples have and their weeping affect along with the fragile small leaves.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I know that the red leaf variety of the Japanese Maples can take full sun. My next door neighbor has one in his backyard and it is stunning.

If thats true I would love to get a Japanese Maple, does anyone know the varieties that can take full sun?

I went to Lowes here in Waxahachie and got a Shantung maple today for only $20.00!!!!! I used a 10% off coupon. Its about 5 feet tall and I'm gonna let it sit in its pot until Saturday when I can plant it in the backyard. I love the leaves on it.
