Acer shirasawanum ‘Aureum’ Specimen 1967

Description

The foliage of this prized Full Moon maple virtually glows throughout the season. Especially in a site with filted light, the fan-shaped leaves emerge bright yellow in spring, then gradually soften to yellow-green, a color that holds all summer. In fall, bright yellow, orange and scarlet, might all appear on a single leaf. Colors are more subdued in a shady spot. Attractive branching is striking in winter.
