This is my second year with this lovely tree, having overwintered it successfully in an unheated garage.

Have mine for five years. It sits atop the waterfall of my pond. it is a gorgeous tree and I have had no problems with it at all. Went from part shade to full sun after a tree was removed and it has done just fine.

On the color - it's a question of degree. While it does need sun to color up, I have had summers where it turned very green and others where it stayed mostly red. The spring and fall colors are spectacular.

Acer palmatum dissect. 'Tamukeyama' (Dec) (z6) (Bon)
A hardy cascading plant (to 10'...in 50 yrs!) whose finely dissected foliage opens deep crimson but changes to a drk-purple-red, which color it holds well through the summer until autumn's scarlet appears.PSh/Med

On the issue of leaf color, the more sun you give the tree, the deeper red or burgundy you will get. The leaves will get more and more green the shader it is.
