    Am looking for one of these and don't know what type it is. Also where could I get one, in the south east preferably. Thanks

    Hope these links work

    Looks like an acer palmatum 'bloodgood'. Most of the good online garden shops in Ireland have them.

    Are they all that small? Or do they come in different sizes?

    That one looks like it has been pruned into that shape.

    Is it a miniature? Or is that the standard size. I just want to make sure I get the correct one. It's to match that one.

    Not a miniature, but you could keep it pruned to that height if you wanted to. I think they look better left a bit wild. Have a look on the rhs website for a few different species. They're slow growing mostly.
