The Acer Palmatum "Crimson Queen" develops scarlet leaves before the leaves drop off in the fall. Given that it can still be quite warm in many parts of Texas in October, the tree probably doesn't realize the time of year! As most Crimson Queen maples are grafted onto another stock your Crimson Queen has died and the stock has taken over,

How much does a cord of green Texas mesquite firewood weigh?

A cord of green mesquite firewood can waigh between 4000&4500.lbs depending on the time of year and how much rain has fallen that year


Why did plants choose to be green?

plants are green because they absorb all light wavelengths other than green light. The green light bounces off the surface instead, and into an observer's eyes, causing them to see the plant as being green. Not all leaves are green, and some plants, like Japanese Maples, get the same amount of energy from sunlight as a plant with green leaves. This causes me to think that the fact that leaves are green is sort of arbitrary. The color of the leaves in fact has nothing to do with photosynthesis (as someone who answered this question previously suggested), which is merely the process by which energy absorbed from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide into sugars. energy is stored in the bonds of these sugars.

How can a tree like the Japanese Maple that has red leaves all year long perform photosynthesis?

It sometimes may have green leaves, or it is totally dependant on minerals from soil! well, no If you look at any leaf, they all have pigaments, which is the leafs color. In biology the other day we performed an experiment called plant pigments. We smushed the leaf on a line that we drew on a peace of filtered paper. Then we put this peace of paper in rubbing alchol. The alchol was at the bottom not touching the leaf yet. Slowly the alchol moved up the flitered paper, the filtered paper was absorbing it. As it did this it pulled the plants pigaments out of the plant. On the line was still red, dark blue. Then farther up was, first, light yellow, yellow, yellow-green, then green. this showed all the pigaments we did this with a green and a red leaf, the same thing happened for both, showing that both leaves have chlorophyll. In conclusion both red and green leafs have the same pigaments, which help it carry on photosynthesis.
