One of the most desired maples, Moonrise Japanese Maple has serrated palmate cut leaves that emerge bright red in the Spring and then mature to green-yellow with an orange blush in the summer. In fall, they display a spectacular variety of red-gold. The tree's multi-trunked, low-branching habit makes it a colorful specimen for bonsai. A favorite in landscaping, it shows better sun tolerance than other varieties and provides both color and textural interest as an ornamental tree. Also, its smaller size makes it easy to incorporate into a wide range of garden designs. Place in full sun in order to enjoy its full range of colors.
