Imperial Masterpiece
I first saw the tree in someone's front garden a couple weeks ago, while on my walk (I'm a postman) suffering in the hot spell we had, leaves all crispy. I knocked to see if anyone was in but no answer. Well today I had the delivery van, had a parcel drop off a few doors down, so knocked again and a chap answered, asked him about the maple and if I could buy it, since I can see its not being cared for, he said I could have it for nothing, since he's always going away and has no time for it. He wanted to keep the flowerpot it was in, so I slipped the tree into a mail bag and stuck it in the mail van!
Apparently on its own rootstock from a seedling about 15 years ago.
It's suffered some die back which is fine by me, the tree has some character though and the base is OK.
I plan on keeping everything, but will reduce the root ball
