Ed Wood Full Moon Japanese Maple

The Ed Wood Full Moon Maple is a dramatic and unusual member of the large family of Japanese maples. It is renowned for its large leaves, which can be 6 inches wide and deep. Although they are divided in narrow fingers like the other Japanese maples, they are broader, and the overall effect is like an open fan – or the full moon. This variety is notable for its healthy, vigorous growth and dramatic palette of fall color. It welcomes the end of the growing season with a fireworks display of yellow, orange and red that is remarkable for it every-changing beauty. This tree can be used in an Asian-themed garden, or an ordinary garden too. It makes a lovely lawn specimen for a small garden, or it is beautiful planted in beds in a larger one. It will grow into an upright, rounded tree between 15 and 20 feet tall, and the same size across. You can also choose to prune it into a narrower shape, while still keeping its great beauty.
