Hi Larry

Your Japanese Maple needs more sunlight. Too much shade makes the
Chloraphyl turn green to photosynthsize the little light it gets.

Move the plant to a sunny spot and it will be fine.

My newly planted Japanese maple tree was crimson red when I bought it, but
now has gone green. Everything I read said they do better in shade, so that
is where I planted it. It does get an hour or so of direct sun per day. Now
I read in places that it gets green when its in shade! Is this just a phase
of growth for warm temps? Or is it solely do to the shade? Any advice
appreciated.
