Japanese Maple Helicopters

We have a japanese maple in the backyard by our pool. Two years ago we had to have a 100 year old oak tree cut down as it was dying and dropping large branches into the pool. This tree shaded the maple as it faces the west and gets the hot afternoon sun. This Year the maple didn't loose it's helicopters and the tree looks thinner than last summer. We try to keep it watered since it is not used to full sun. Why didn't it drop the Helicopters? |

I just had a red Japanese Maple planted near my pool. The landscaper says this tree will not have helicopters. I took out a crab apple tree due to the flowering, crabapples and it was dying of apple scab and constently impacting the pool. I did not want a tree that had anything but fall leaves...
There is a Japanese Maple in our family graveyard. My question is.......Is there any way to take a sprout from the tree and eventually replant that to make another tree? I have noticed that it has a couple of small sprouts or branches coming out of the ground next to the tree and I didn't know if...
Does anyone know a way to preserve the 'helicopters' so that they stay green? I've tried nail polish and waxpaper but neither works (the helicopters turn brown). I'd appreciate any ideas.
Are there any reasons against planting the tree right next to my house? My next to, I mean about 3 feet from the outside wall. I would try to get one of the smaller varieties, but someone said that I might need to worry about the root structure damaging the foundation. Anyone?
