Moonrise Full Moon Japanese Maple Tree (Acer Shirasawanum 'Moonrise') Seeds - NEW FOR FALL 2024

The Moonrise Full Moon Japanese maple (Acer shirasawanum 'Moonrise') is an extraordinary deciduous tree, celebrated for its stunning color transitions and finely textured, fan-shaped leaves. In spring, the new foliage emerges in brilliant shades of red and pink, creating a vibrant contrast against the soft green backdrop of the garden. As summer arrives, the leaves transition to a bright lime green with hints of gold, maintaining their luminous quality even in full sun. During autumn, the tree puts on a breathtaking display as the foliage turns rich shades of orange and red, giving the appearance of a glowing "moonrise." This cultivar typically reaches a height of 8 to 10 feet, with a compact, rounded form that makes it perfect for smaller gardens or as a specimen tree in larger landscapes. The Moonrise Japanese maple thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, though it is remarkably sun-tolerant and resistant to leaf scorch compared to other Japanese maples. Its colorful foliage remains vibrant even in hot summers, making it an excellent choice for warmer climates. With its compact size, this tree is versatile for use in containers, patios, or mixed borders, where its striking color shifts can be fully appreciated. They’re hardy from zones 5-9. They also make excellent bonsai specimens. Each pack comes with basic instructions for germination. I’m a USA seller which means faster shipping times as well as higher quality seeds.
