Acer shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon'
Autumn Moon Full Moon Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

Acer shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon' is a spectacular tree when given the proper setting in the garden. In most gardens, it is recommended to give protection from the hot afternoon sun for best growth. Some morning sun will peak the colors. 'Autumn Moon' was a chance seedling that was selected and introduced by JD Vertrees, who wrote the original book on Japanese maples. The spring color is a bright salmon pink that malts across the bright green full moon leaves. 'Autumn Moon' may reach 6-8 ft in height and width in 10 years. Fall color on 'Autumn Moon' turns oranges to red. 


Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.

A show of form and color

This cultivar was made to be container grown- at least for a few years. Beautiful salmon-colored blushing on golden/mango leaves. Everything about this tree leafing out is interesting. The leaves when first pushing out of the buds hang there like brightly-colored sleeping bats. Then they shed the remainder of their husks and slowly tilt skyward as they open up to receive more sun- changing shades of orange, yellow and red as it goes. A collector’s must have, in my opinion. And it’s small, so you can move it where you need in order to get best results. PM shade and minimal wind makes this thing positively glow in spring and fall.
