Acer shirasawanum Autumn Moon
This is a great improvement on the above “Aureum” (Golden Full Moon) JM but don't be confused it is not a bright green like the Aureum . It takes sun and adverse conditions better . It is a truly beautiful tree . I still would not recommend it for beginners but ok for a novice . It is a slow grower and will not get too big . The colors are really nice throughout the growing season .This is a hardy cultivar for colder areas. Makes a real beautiful Jm that will always beg another look.can take some sun too which sets it apart from Aureum which will fry in almost any sun
