Acer shirasawanum Moonrise, 3LThe compact deciduous shrub, Acer Shirasawanum Moonrise, is notable for its foliage, which emerges bright red before maturing yellow green. In summer, attractive winged red seedpods develop, but it is in autumn that this plant really shines, its leaves turning vivid orange and red before falling. Grown for its decorative appeal, it makes an ideal specimen plant with great visual impact or can be used to lighten a partially shady area of the garden.
