Selected by J. D. Vertrees in the 1970s this lovely cultivar is in the same genus as the Golden Full Moon Maple [Acer shirasawanum Aureum]. A small to medium sized tree with wonderful color throughout the growing season. The leaves are reticulated and show some variegation on individual leaves from light green to gold, bronze and orange. Summer colors are green, gold and orange changing in the fall to a darker gold and orange and then ending in fiery crimson. Recommended sun exposure is in the morning with some shade protection in the hot afternoon sun. Fall colors mirror the spring and summer, but the leaves are darker in color from gold to crimson. Not a fast growing maple, but definitely faster than its cousin ‘Aureum’. Estimated height in 10 years is 7′. Once established hardy to USDA zone 5. Either Autumn Moon or Moonrise is a must for a Japanese Maple collector.

This Japanese Maple variety is one of my personal favorites! It always seems to take center stage. The foliage has a most unusual burnt orange color, which highlights the peach-yellow leaves.
