You are correct. Remove green leaved branches~~they would become too
vigorous and spoil the tree. Do they come from near the base? If so they are
from the rootstock. Otherwise could be some form of 'reversion' though I
have never seen this with maples.
Best Wishes.

This year, this tree of mine has some branches on it with green leaves
(instead of red leaves). Other than the fact this is unsightly, do I need
to
cut off these branches so it won't affect the tree as a whole and cause
all
the leaves to turn green? Or, is there something causing these leaves to
be
green - something I can do as far as fertilizing or minerals or something
to
keep the tree producing red leaves?
