On a recent trip to Portland to attend the Yard, Garden, and Patio Show and to do a sneak drive-by of a certain blogger's garden, (posts to follow) I spotted this in a Danger-ous neighborhood.

Here is a closer look at the winter berries/fruit that seems to ripen around Fat Tuesday.
The branches and form look quite like an Acer (maple.)

Acer palmatum mardigrasantum?
Any help you can give would be welcome as I'd love to find this at a nursery somewhere!
