More about the Golden Full Moon Japanese Maple...

Acer shirasawanum 'Aureum', known as the "Golden Full Moon maple," has large, orbicular golden to chartreuse leaves with bright red petioles, making it one of the most desired Japanese maples. The foliage will be more golden with more sun. It is a somewhat slower grower reaching 10 feet or so in 10 years and over 20 feet at maturity. 

Japanese maples stand out best when they are planted as a single specimen or in small groupings. Use them to accentuate an entryway or as a focal point to draw attention to a certain area of the landscape or home. Be careful not too overcrowd your Japanese Maple. We suggest underplanting with dwarf, low growing shrubs or groundcovers.


Culture & Care

When provided the right environment in the landscape Japanese Maples are very easy to grow and care for, and long lived.

Soil - Japanese maples adapt well to many soil types provided there is good drainage. Consistently wet or soggy soils can be a killer.

Sun -  Some varieties will tolerate full sun. However, in their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight and at the edges of partially shaded woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions, especially in the warmer climate of the Deep South.

Water - During the first two summers after planting a Japanese Maple, make sure to water enough to keep soil damp but not soggy. Constantly wet feet can cause serious problems. Proper planting method can ensure proper drainage over the long term.

Pruning - When a specific variety of Japanese maple is planted in the right size space; where it have room to grow to mature size, rarely will it require pruning. That beings said, removal of damaged or stray branches that spoil the form of the tree can be performed almost any time of year. Heavy or major pruning is best left to professionals. If you hire someone to prune your Japanese maple make sure he/she has the credentials and ALWAYS check references.

by Gary - Savoy, Illinois

The tree arrived perfectly packaged with obvious attention to protect the tree during shipping. Fully leafed with an amazing root structure. Planted my Full Moon nearly a month ago and it is thriving. Looking so forward to watching this spectacular little tree as it grows and matures. It will certainly be one of the highlights and focal points of our landscape.
