Stunning Japanese Maple



I discovered this specimen during a routine tree inspection. It is a 40-50 year-old Acer Palmatum 'Dissectum'



Usually a Japanese maple of this age has some defects from bad pruning, poor limb structure, or decay in the trunk. But not this baby. It's perfect. The limb structure is without weakness, and there's not a hint of dieback or stress in the canopy. I would imagine the landscape value of this tree is upwards of $30,000.
