Some rare instances of red or variegated maples "reverting" to "orig" color/varietal, IF they are a graft; rare and usually seen in just one branch, better known as a "sport".
Without the varietal/cultivar latin name specifics, tough to do more than offer this guess. GL,md

Wow you would make a good horticulturist! The tree indeed does receive less Sun than others since it's it's partially in the shade of another, bigger tree. And I poured sheep manure on the soil for years!
Oh well, I still like the shape of the leaves at least, so no reason to part with this good tree. :p
