Discover the captivating beauty of Acer shirasawanum, commonly known as Full Moon Maple or Hinauchiwa Kaede. Native to Japan, this exquisite deciduous tree stands out for its rounded, medium to large leaves that mimic the glow of a full moon. Closely related to Acer japonicum, with which it was historically considered synonymous, this species offers unique elegance to any garden space. Ideal for shaded areas, Full Moon Maple displays a remarkable transformation in autumn, captivating onlookers with its vibrant display of bright yellow, orange, and red hues.

Reaching a mature height of 15-20 feet, this slow-growing tree is perfect for container planting. It can also be a striking addition as a patio specimen, used in Asian-themed gardens, or as a charming understory feature. The finely serrated, 9-lobed green leaves are complemented by showy red samaras in late summer, adding a distinct touch to the landscape. Adaptable to USDA Zone 5, this maple thrives in well-drained, moist soil with protection from harsh afternoon sun, ensuring a robust and healthy growth. Embrace the rare elegance and versatility of Acer shirasawanum and enhance your garden with its unmatched beauty.
