Colourful seasons
A different colour for every season! The Japanese maple 'Moonrise' (Acer shirasawanum) has beautifully shaped leaves. In the spring, they are a beautiful orange. In the summer, the leaves turn bright yellow, in the autumn they turn a reddish orange. You can even plant the shrub in open ground, or in a pot on the patio or balcony. The hardy shrub can be planted all year round.
The shrub does not require pruning. If you want to prune anyway, do it in late summer or early autumn. Plant the Japanese maple in partial shade. The shrub prefers well-drained soil. Give it extra water during dry periods.
