Acer Autumn Moon

You simply won’t believe the beauty of the ever-changing leaves on this stunning, super-vigorous new Full Moon Japanese Maple!

Autumn Moon is not only the most colorful variety yet, but it thrives even in southern climates! Just listen to what the foliage does from spring through fall: the new leaves emerge a deep bronze-infused burgundy in spring, then change to bright chartreuse for summer. However, Autumn Moon keeps the new leaves coming well into summer, so you get tiny bright red leaves right on top of the yellow-green ones all season long! Then in fall, as you might expect, all of the foliage blazes forth in every shade of orange and red!Even if it weren’t so breathtakingly beautiful, Autumn Moon would be prized in southern and midwestern gardens, where previous Full Moon Maples have really struggled.

This variety is vigorous, with thicker leaves that keep their stunning “full moon” shape much better and longer! It reaches about 5 feet tall after 5 years, and eventually matures to 7 to 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide.A hybrid out of A. shirasawanum Aureum, Autumn Moon is not yet widely available in this country, so I’m particularly delighted to be able to offer it here.

predict you will love it above all other Japanese Maples in your garden, so please select a choice position in partial sun and get ready to collect the compliments!

Space trees 10 feet apart in moist, well-drained soil high in organic matter. Water well during dry periods. Autumn Moon is not fussy about soil pH.
