'Autumn Moon' maple (Acer shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon') is a tree for borders, containers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly and has an erect shape. Bees visit it, and it needs little care once settled.
