My fault, I should have been more clear in my earlier posting.

This window has a board screwed into it from the outside, and is bricked up and painted on the inside. I have lived in this apartment for several years, and it was that way when I moved in. So, the window is no longer a window, and the window well had a board with a 2x4 fram thrown over the top of it to cover it to keep people from falling into it is my guess. So, I'm free and clear to use the window well on my patio as I wish.

Also I found out more about the maple tree. It comes from Takayama (farms, nursery, no idea) out in California. When the tree was purchased, the Takayamas were apparently about 80 years old so it is unknown whether the place it came from even still exists. The tree was approximately four years old when it was potted up and it is now approximately 17 years old. It was purchased just after potting and has lived on the back shelf of a greenhouse since then. The greenhouse owner tells me that it is just a standard dwarf Japanese maple (Acer Palmatum?). After my discount and such, I look to pay approximately $150 for this tree, which I think seems fair.
