Acer shirasawanum ‘Aureum’
We have acquired a new allotment of this sought after maple in sizes from 4/5’ up to tree form that are around 10’ tall with a nearly 3” caliper single trunk. The full moon maple is a popular yellow-leaved Japanese maple that is small and slow growing, but can mature to as tall and wide as 16 to 20 feet. Leaves emerge as a showy bright yellow and gradually darkens to yellow-green by summer. Fall brings shades of orange-red, sometimes tinged with purple. Reddish purple spring flowers give way to red samaras that contrast with the yellow-green leaves. Hardy in zones 5 to 7
