Full Moon Maple
$42.99 – $145.99
Acer shirasawanum ‘Aureum’ known as ‘The Full Moon Maple’ or “Golden Full Moon maple” has large chartreuse orbicular leaves with bright red petioles which make this one of the most desired maples. This is a stunning tree! The golden color develops best when the Full Moon is placed in a sunny location – but will burn in very hot areas. Brilliant orange and red fall colors (as shown in photo at left).
The Full Moon maple is rather slow growing and this maple will reach 8 feet tall in 10 years. Full Moon is cold hardy but needs morning sun and afternoon shade in hot locations. Cold hardy to -15° F. Does best in zones 5-9.

A. japonicum Giant Moon
Giant moon is a new cultivar which we are still evaluating. Very large light green orbicular leaves emerge from this japonicum with tinges of pink. The leaves as they emerge are covered with a fine hair making them silvery in appearance. Growth appears to be similar to A.j. Aconitifolium in that it is open and layering. Sun /afternoon shade.
