Acer shirasawanum ‘Autumn Moon’ is a highly distinctive and sought-after Japanese maple known for its luminous, rounded foliage and exceptional seasonal colour changes. In spring, the broad, palmate leaves emerge in warm shades of apricot, soft orange, and golden yellow, often flushed with coral or red tones. As the season progresses, the foliage deepens to rich golden-green, retaining a gentle glow that stands out in shaded or partially shaded garden areas. In autumn, the tree becomes particularly spectacular, transforming into vibrant shades of fiery orange, red, and amber.

This cultivar has a broadly upright, spreading habit, making it well suited to small and medium-sized gardens where a focal point is desired. It works beautifully as a specimen tree in lawns, woodland gardens, or mixed borders, and also performs well in large containers on patios or terraces where its colour and form can be appreciated up close.

‘Autumn Moon’ prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and thrives in a sheltered position out of strong winds. Dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon protection helps preserve its delicate leaf colouring. Low maintenance once established, it requires only minimal pruning. Its unique foliage and glowing seasonal palette make Acer shirasawanum ‘Autumn Moon’ a truly exceptional garden feature.
