We had one for ages and thought it was an Acer but we're told by a botanist friend that it categorically isn't. Sadly while they did tell me what it's called I cannot remember the proper name of it.
I called it Bob the non-acer though.

I reckon it's a(n) Acer palmatum 'Dissectum Atropurpureum' Tree. Twenty years ago I buried a dead Koi under mine which seemed to kill it. I'm sure I'd read something about this being a thing in Japan but maybe it wasn't.
