Purple Thunder Full Moon Maple

This selection offers the distinctive broad, rounded leaf shape of Acer shirasawanum, a Japanese maple species with almost perfectly circular lobed leaves, combined with rich purple new growth in spring and spectacular red fall colour on a slow-growing upright specimen.

• Nearly circular multi-lobed leaves are the hallmark of the Full Moon Maple species, broader and rounder than typical Japanese maples
• New spring growth emerges with a rich purple cast before maturing to green
• Vivid red fall colour; deer resistant
• Slow-growing upright habit; better adapted to light shade than many Japanese maples
