Full Moon Maple 'Autumn Moon', Shirasawa Maple 'Autumn Moon', Acer palmatum 'Autumn Moon', Acer 'Autumn Moon'
Vigorous and easy to grow, Acer shirasawanum ‘Autumn Moon’ (Full Moon Maple) is a bushy tree or large shrub of upright habit noted for its beautiful summer and fall foliage. Emerging clear yellow or chartreuse in spring, the rounded, palmate leaves, adorned with 9-11 lobes, are tinged with an unusual burnt-orange color. These colors are strongest in full sun or very light shade. In the fall, they turn rich shades of orange and red. Small cream and pink flowers, borne in upright clusters, appear in spring and give way to samaras which contrast nicely with the foliage, adding ornamental interest to the display. Slow-growing, this unique maple cultivar is perfect for small gardens or containers.
