5 Seeds Acer shirasawanum Ogurayama Japanese Fullmoon Maple Ornamental Deciduous Tree

Acer shirasawanum Ogurayama, commonly known as the Fullmoon Maple, is a beautiful ornamental deciduous tree prized for its rounded, fan-shaped leaves and elegant, layered branch structure. This slow-growing selection brings refined texture and seasonal color to temperate gardens, patios, and landscape plantings.

Fullmoon Maples work beautifully as specimen trees, in mixed borders, or in large containers where their form can be admired up close. The foliage emerges in spring with soft green tones, shifts through the growing season, and finishes with warm autumn color before leaf drop. These seeds offer a rewarding project for gardeners interested in growing a distinctive Japanese maple from the start.
