Acer japonicum Aconitifolium – Full Moon Maple

Acer Japonicon ‘Aconitifolium’, also called full moon maple is a shrub with a deciduous canopy. This lovely maple is a favourite for its foliage colour in autumn. Like most other Acer trees, it is known for its beautiful, outstanding shades of colours as the season’s changes and has been recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society with the renowned Award of Garden Merit. 

More so, it grows as a spreading, bushy tree or big shrub with deeply lobed mid-green leaves that turn a spectacular scarlet-deep red colour in the autumn. It also produces masses of little red-purple blooms with winged seed-heads. It prefers a sunny or somewhat shaded location, as do most maples.
