I thought of planting some (there are hundreds of varietals) but they
are very slow growing and most don't grow very tall so I'd need to
keep them fenced or they'd become deer food. My neighbor planted one
three years ago to replace an eastern redbud that died, but it's
fenced and will probably stay fenced:

I would have chosen s different tree; I have a Crimson King Norway
maple that doesn't grow nearly as large as a full size kind.

Um, if you truly wanted some Japanese maples you could have them, they
make excellent bonsai plants.
