Aconitifolium Fern Leaf – Acer Japonicum

Common name Full Moon Maple this is a dwarf, mounded multi-stemmed spreading small tree or large shrub often growing in a multi-trunked form. Small purplish-red flowers in pendulous corymbs appear in early spring (April) before the leaves. It then features palmate, almost fern-like medium green leaves which are deeply divided into 9-11 toothed and cut lobes. Leaves turn yellow, orange, and red in fall. Each rounded leaf purportedly resembles a full moon, hence the common name: Full Moon.
