Sapindaceae
Acer shirasawanum ‘Autumn Moon’, also known as 'Autumn Moon' Japanese maple, is an exceptional variety distinguished by its changing colors and satiny texture. Its foliage emerges in apricot to coppery-pink tones in spring, takes on greenish-yellow highlights in summer, then blazes into brilliant orange-red in autumn, evoking a fiery twilight. Its naturally rounded and compact habit, combined with slow growth, makes it an ideal choice for small gardens, Japanese-themed landscapes, rockeries, or container cultivation. It tolerates more sun than most golden maples, while retaining the delicate foliage characteristic of Acer shirasawanum. ‘Autumn Moon’ is a refined collector's maple, combining subtle nuances and structured beauty, perfect for enriching a temperate landscape.
