Acer Shirasawanum Aureum Golden Full Moon 30lt

Golden Full Moon Maple is a stunning deciduous ornamental tree, admired for its beautiful golden-yellow foliage and graceful, rounded growth habit.

In spring, its distinctive, almost circular, fan-shaped leaves emerge in brilliant shades of soft yellow and lime green, creating a spectacular display.

Throughout summer, the beautiful golden foliage provides a wonderful contrast against darker green plants, adding brightness and elegance to sheltered gardens.

As autumn arrives, the leaves transform into gorgeous shades of golden yellow, orange and sometimes red before falling for winter.

With its naturally compact, rounded canopy and slow-growing habit, Golden Full Moon Maple is an excellent choice for feature planting, Japanese-style gardens, courtyards and sheltered landscaped areas.
