Just had a red maple that was to be delivered and when it showed up I noticed the leaves were simply going from green to yellow, no red. And since it was a 5.5" caliper and I didn't want a disappointed customer asking me to take it out after planting, I opted to send it back. Now the salesman says it's normal for the red fall color to not be there after transplanting. Any opinions out there on this? I just didn't want to a disappoint a customer who just paid almost $2,000 for a red maple with no red.
