Last November I bought this acer without leaves and the florist only indicated it was an acer. Expecting a Palmatum I was surprised to see this beautiful plant. What species is it? Should I vase it or is it too late? Thanks for any help and advice.

Acer palmatum purpureum

But the palmatum has only 5 points in its leaves, unless the purpureum has more....
Mine has 7-9

The palmatum doesn't have 5 points necessarily. Do note that Acer Palmatum has been developed for centuries. There are numerous cultivars.
Could be an 'Atropurpureum' - or another variety. Does it matter?

No it doesn't.
Is it too late to report?

Sorry, repot......

In my climate it wouldn't be too late, but looking at the tree I'd say yes.
Also depends on what you mean with repotting - slip pot it into a larger pot? The tree doesn't seem ready to be put into a smaller pot - and there will probably be a graft that's going to be a problem (not for repotting, but for the design).

Personally, I would plant this tree in my garden - and I'd probably leave it there.

If you have to ask, yes. You can repot as it is. I have done.maple reppts in august. But you have to know what you are doing and be able to provide good aftercare. If this is your first, i would just place it in a bigger pot with better substrate and full repot next year.

Thanks for the replies and information.
I will leave as is for now and repot later in the year.
