A group of Geisha Girls unfurl their fans each spring in your garden – your Autumn Moon Maple has felt the warmth returning and has opened its leaves, in chartreuse green overlaid in shades of pink and orange. With much fuller and more rounded leaves, this maple has a remarkable ‘presence’ in any garden and is an ideal gift for the discerning gardener, who will now have a rare and special form of the Full Moon Maple, a highly-prized tree related to the ordinary Japanese Maple. Growing to 8 feet and in time to 15 feet, this tree will fill the garden with refined beauty, making any yard a special place. Not content with its spring display, the Autumn Moon Maple will burst out in fall with a firework display in reds and oranges that will set the garden ablaze.
Just as easy to grow as regular Japanese Maples, this tree will grow in full sun in cooler regions, but prefer partial shade in hotter areas. With no pests and diseases and no need to prune it, all that is needed for this special beauty is some attention to summer watering. In return you will have something rare and very special that will always be the gift that keeps on giving.
