Its distinctive rounded, softly lobed leaves emerge in glowing yellow tones and retain their bright colour through much of the growing season before developing rich shades of orange and red in autumn. With its naturally slow-growing, bushy habit, this elegant deciduous tree is perfectly suited to smaller gardens, sheltered borders and large patio containers. The luminous foliage provides a striking contrast with darker shrubs and evergreens, making it a superb focal point throughout the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standout golden Japanese maple whose luminous, full-moon shaped leaves bring glowing colour, beautiful contrast and vibrant autumn tones to sheltered garden spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcer shirasawanum 'Aureum'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolden Full Moon Maple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlant Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeciduous ornamental tree\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright golden-yellow rounded leaves, turning orange and red in autumn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlower Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall crimson flowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlowering Season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial shade or full sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSoil\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoist, fertile, well-drained soil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow-growing, bushy small tree\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest Uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecimen planting, Japanese gardens, woodland gardens and large containers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMature Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 4–8m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMature Spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 4–8m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardiness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRHS H6 (−20°C to −15°C).\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Position\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in a sheltered position.
