Add item to quote to see pricing

Acer japonicum ‘Aconitifolium’ is a stellar addition to any garden or landscaping setting. Dubbed as the Full Moon Maple, this handsome, slow-growing species reaches substantial heights of up to 8-10 feet. This tree's ornamental qualities are highlighted by its broad foliage, deeply-incised like a fern, which unfurls as a refreshing green in the warmer months and then transmutes into a fiery palette of red, orange, and yellow hues as the seasons change to autumn. Its modest water usage and ability to flourish under full sun or in conditions with partial shade make it a remarkably adaptable member of your garden. Its vibrant transformation throughout the year provides sustained seasonal interest and calls attention to its versatility as a showpiece in your landscape portfolio.
