    Yes they do. Mine was a glorious shade of red, got a couple of windy days last week and they all vanished.

    You need to failiarise yourself with two words - deciduous and evergreen.   Japanese maples are deciduous.

    Mine all went a few weeks back, but have seen a few older specimens still with lots of leaves left in the same area...(same type... Dissectum?)  Ours isn't in a windy spot so I hypothesised that it might be due to it being younger, or getting scorched this summer when we went on holiday for three weeks and it got minimal neighbour watering.....(It is pot grown). I'm sure it will pop back in spring, they are delightful trees.

    I expect he knows the words deciduous and evergreen, just didn’t know what category the acer fell in.

    No worries @NewBoy2 , l suspect we've all covered stupid questions from 1 to 100 in our time !  :)

    I did some work at the British Women's Club garden in Brussels which included planting trees and shrubs.  The committe appointed to oversee the garden transformation asked me what tree I was planting and then asked me what deciduous meant.

    It's a basic garden term and if, as I suspect, New Boy2 is keen to learn, there are a few basic terms with which he needs to be familiar in order to understand answers here and also how plants work.  Annual, biennial, herbaceous perennial, bulb and corm are others that will prove useful.

    Another basic term @NewBoy2 will have to learn is "wildlife", as he wrongly posted his question in the Wildlife section of this forum rather than in the Plants section where it belonged. ;)

    Think most of us access the forum via Recent Posts so its not a problem if posts crop up in ‘wrong’ places ... we still find them  :)
    However I do appreciate your urge to keep things orderly @PapiJo ... I’ve a stash of paperwork on my desk that needs filing ... any chance that you have a few hours free today or tomorrow? ;)

    Is it everyone that gets shot down and picked on now, usually it’s just newbies.
