A. japonicum Giant Moon acer palmatum Prefers sun with partial shadeGiant moon is a new cultivar which we are still evaluating. Very large light green orbicular leaves emerge from this japonicum with tinges of pink. The leaves as they emerge are covered with a fine hair making them silvery in appearance. Growth appears to be similar to A. j. Aconitifolium in that it is open and layering. Sun afternoon shade.
