Acer shirasawanum 'Aureum'
Aureum, the Golden Full Moon Maple is small tree which is perfect for the smaller garden. In spring the buds open to reveal intensely bright lemon yellow foliage, dazzling during the often gray days of spring. As the leaves mature they will soften to yellow-green in early summer. Bright red samaras (helicopter-like seeds) are nestled in the foliage and will remain colorful well into summer. In autumn, the tree is dotted in tones of orange and red. The slow growth and unique framework of the golden full moon maple makes this an excellent choice for containers.
