‘Aureum’ is one of the most sought-after golden Japanese maples: its rounded “full moon” leaves open a bright yellow in spring (often with a faint pinkish edging or pink veins depending on conditions), shift to yellow-green in summer, then light up in orange and red in autumn. Its growth is slow, making it an excellent collector’s plant, well suited to carefully designed gardens and to growing in a large container.
‘Autumn Moon’ is an Acer shirasawanum (full moon maple) highly appreciated for its spectacularly nuanced foliage: in spring, the young leaves often take on salmon to orange tones, then shift to yellow-green in summer, before a very bright orange to red autumn display. Its small, bushy tree habit makes it perfect as a specimen, in a dappled-shade planting, or in a large container.
‘Ezo no o momiji’ is an Acer shirasawanum (full moon maple) appreciated for its large leaves and its very luminous late-season display. The foliage opens a soft green in spring, deepens to dark green in summer (often with a slightly rougher texture), then turns golden yellow, orange and sometimes red in autumn. An elegant choice as a specimen or in a bright partial-shade planting, with a particularly strong effect against a dark background.
‘Jordan’ is an Acer shirasawanum (full moon maple) especially sought after for its brilliant yellow spring colour, often among the brightest of all golden Japanese maples. It then shifts to yellow-green / chartreuse in summer, before finishing the season in orange and then red. Reported as more vigorous than ‘Aureum’ in many growers’ experiences, it makes an excellent focal point in the garden, and it also performs very well in a large container with attentive watering.
‘Kalmthout’ is an Acer shirasawanum (full moon maple) appreciated for its broad, rounded foliage—often light green in spring, sometimes with a slight pink tip on the youngest leaves—then darker green in summer. In autumn, it stands out for a very luminous display, frequently bright yellow with red nuances (sometimes turning more distinctly red depending on conditions). An elegant cultivar for a bright partial-shade setting, as a specimen or in a large container.
‘Microphyllum’ is an original Acer shirasawanum (full moon maple), with smaller leaves than most shirasawanum while still keeping the “full moon” texture (rounded leaves, often slightly cupped). In spring it starts a soft green, almost yellow, then deepens to dark green in summer, before putting on a bright yellow-to-orange autumn show, sometimes reaching orange/red tones depending on conditions. An excellent choice for medium-sized gardens and for growing in a large container.
‘Moonrise’ is a spectacular Acer shirasawanum (full moon maple) with a highly contrasted palette: the young leaves often start a vivid red, then the whole plant settles into a bright yellow-green for the season. In autumn, it finishes with warm orange to red tones. It’s a very decorative variety in a large container or in the ground, ideal for bringing light to a bright partial-shade setting.
‘Palmatifolium’ is an Acer shirasawanum (full moon maple) appreciated for its large green leaves with a gently quilted / slightly drooping relief, and for its very luminous autumn colour. In spring, the foliage starts soft green (sometimes with fine pink or bronze nuances depending on exposure), becomes a clear green in summer, then turns yellow, orange and red (sometimes with purple tones) late in the season. A robust variety, often considered more sun-tolerant than other shirasawanum, provided the soil stays cool.
‘Purple Thunder’ is an Acer shirasawanum with a very distinctive character: its large purple leaves have lobes that curve downward, creating a unique, almost “sculptural” foliage silhouette. The color is especially intense on new growth, stays burgundy through summer, then finishes in a blazing red in autumn. An excellent choice to add contrast and an original texture in the garden or in a large container.
‘Seasons of Change’ is an Acer shirasawanum (full moon maple) notable for foliage that keeps evolving throughout the season. In spring, the large, rounded, well-cut leaves open green with red tones, then the overall look keeps shifting as the season progresses (a clearer green, then possible reddish returns on some new shoots). In autumn, the palette often unfolds from yellow to orange, finishing in a very bright red. A cultivar with real presence, ideal as a specimen or in a large container.
‘Sensu’ is a Japanese maple with very original foliage: its leaves, narrower and more elongated than most shirasawanum, resemble a fan in motion. In spring, the new growth often emerges in orange to bronze tones, then turns green in summer before shifting late season to orange and then red/crimson. Its rather upright, compact habit makes it an excellent choice for medium-sized gardens and for growing in a large container.
