Acer shirasawanum 'Yasemin'
Rare Full Moon Japanese Maple Tree

Zones 5-9

'Yasemin' starts its spring display with large deep maroon leaves that are more divided than other shirasawanum types. Found by one of our friends Cor van Gelderen of Esveld Nursery in Holland, this Japanese maple tree named after his daughter Mirte Yasemin.

As one of the first of the hybrid shirasawanum types Yasemin received much debate on the shirasawanum status. Now it is clear that many of the newer shirasawanum types are all hybrid selections with differing levels of full moon characteristics.

'Yasemin' has the shape of acer shirasawanum with a broad spreading crown reaching 10-12 ft in 15 years. 'Yasemin' also displays the cold tolerance of Acer shirasawanum making it an excellent tree for colder climates who still want red color in the landscape. Not to worry for those in hot climates, as 'Yasemin' is exceptionally heat tolerant as well. Fall color on 'Yasemin' is a bright crimson red.
