Acer shirasawanum 'Moonrise' is a stunning Japanese maple admired for its vibrant, ever-changing foliage. This small, rounded tree features deeply lobed leaves that emerge a bright red in spring, transitioning to chartreuse with red edges in summer, and finally glowing with fiery shades of orange and red in fall. Growing to 10-15 feet, 'Moonrise' is compact and ideal for small gardens, containers, or as a focal point in larger landscapes. It thrives in partial shade and well-drained soil, with excellent tolerance to sun and heat, making it easier to grow than many other maples. With its dramatic color shifts and unique form, Acer shirasawanum 'Moonrise' provides year-round interest and an elegant touch to any garden setting.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
