Acer shirasawanum 'Aureum' Tree
Acer shirasawanum Aureum, more commonly known as Golden Full Moon Maple, and previously called Acer japonica or Acer japonicum, is a deciduous, slow growing shrub with stunning seasonal foliage. The branches of this Acer display rounded pale, buttery-yellow leaves in the spring with tiny crimson flowers. In the summer, the tree bursts into life with bright yellow/lime foliage, before turning golden orange with red margins in the autumn.
Golden Shirasawa maple has a bushy, spreading habit, reaching an estimated height and spread of 2 x 2 metres in 20 years. This maple is suited to moist, but well drained soil in a sheltered, full sun or partially shaded position. Acer shirasawanum Aureum is a wonderful choice for a specimen tree in any size garden, revealing its best colour when planted in dappled shade.
