Acer shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon' (Autumn Moon Japanese Maple) * Partial shade to part sun * Zones 5-7 * 15'-20' tall * 15'-20' wide * Origin Japan Beautiful tinted foliage! Excellent choice for BONSAI! Professionally grafted at our nursery. Acer shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon'. Unusual pinkish orange Spring growth with the bottom of the leaf having a chartruese green color. Give this maple a little more sun and you get some beautiful orange color in the leaves. Fall color is brick orange and red. This variety is more hardy and vigorous than 'Aureum'. This would be great to train as a bonsai! Light shade or morning sun is best for this maple as afternoon sun will scorch its leaves and deep shade will turn the leaves too green. Plant in an area protected from cold or strong winds. Good soil preparation with plenty of organic material will insure your tree thrives. Companion Plants: Goes well with 'Shaina', 'Fernleaf' and 'Beni Schichihenge' Japanese Maples. Check out our store for these great plants! If you like this check out my other plants.
