Hi all,

I have this tree for more than three months. I don't know anything about Japanese maple.
It was all gorgous red when we first moved in. Then more than a month ago, it started changing color (see pix).
Leaf dries up and some even drops.

I went to couple nurseries and They all recommend care. However, I nerver get a clear answer what is it exactly.
Please help me ID and some comments about this tree. I now know it's Japanese maple and it's called something like
acer palmatum dissectum but beyond that I am clueless

Is it supposed to change color from season to season? My first tree guy said it should not and 2nd tree gal said it should.

Thanks,
nguoimoi
