A superb small home landscape tree with beautiful rich purple leaves that last through the season turning brilliant red in fall, artistic spreading habit of growth; a fine choice for small home landscapes and shrub gardens.

Moonfire Japanese Maple has attractive burgundy foliage throughout the season. The lobed palmate leaves are highly ornamental and turn an outstanding red in the fall. It features subtle corymbs of red flowers rising above the foliage in mid spring before the leaves. It produces red samaras from early to mid fall. The rough gray bark and red branches add an interesting dimension to the landscape.

Moonfire Japanese Maple is an open deciduous tree with a more or less rounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.

This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed, as it may 'bleed' sap if pruned in late winter or early spring. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Moonfire Japanese Maple is recommended for the following landscape applications;

• Accent
• Shade
• Mass Planting
