Acer Shirasawanum 'Aureum' Golden Full Moon Large Specimen in Garden! - Japanese Maples

At St. John's in the Wilderness in Flat Rock, North Carolina, an impressive specimen of Acer shirasawanum 'Aureum', also known as the Golden Full Moon Maple, is showcased in its late April or early May glory. This classic Japanese maple, highly prized for its bright yellow to chartreuse foliage in spring and vibrant fall colors, is featured in a mature form that highlights its rounded habit and slow growth rate. The plant thrives in dappled or shaded conditions, making it an ideal choice for brightening up shadier spots in the garden. Originally introduced at Esveld Nursery in Holland, this cultivar has a rich history linked to early Japanese horticulture.

ACER SHIRASAWANUM 'JORDAN'
JORDAN GOLDEN FULL MOON JAPANESE MAPLE

ZONES 5-9

ACER SHIRASAWANUM ‘JORDAN’ IS A SUPERB YELLOW CULTIVAR THAT CAN BRIGHTEN ANY GARDEN. THIS EXCITING NEW SELECTION HAS BETTER COLOR AND MORE VIGOR THAN SEVERAL OF ITS GOLDEN PREDECESSORS. IT WAS FOUND BY FRATELLI GILARDELLI OF GILARDELLI NURSERY IN ITALY AND WAS NAMED AFTER HIS SON.

‘JORDAN’ MAY BOAST THE BRIGHTEST YELLOW SHADES OF ALL JAPANESE MAPLES CULTIVARS IN EARLY SPRING. THIS BRIGHT YELLOW COLORATION IS OFTEN OUTLINED WITH A LIGHT BOARDER OF RED. AUTUMN COLORS ARE AMAZING SHADES OR DEEP MAROON AND ORANGE. ‘JORDAN’ IS LISTED AS AN ACER SHIRASAWANUM BUT MAY ACTUALLY BE AN ACER SHIRASAWANUM X PALMATUM HYBRID. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN ITS VIGOR AND HEAT TOLERANCE. ‘JORDAN’ WILL TYPICALLY REACH 10-12 FEET IN 15 YEARS. WE RECOMMEND LATE DAY SHADE FOR THE BEST COLORS.

THIS IS CERTAINLY A JAPANESE MAPLE THAT BRINGS THE WOW-FACTOR FOR COLOR AND TEXTURE. WE RECOMMEND ‘JORDAN’ AS THE PERFECT TREE TO CONTRAST DEEP MAROONS OR TO BE USED AS A FOCAL POINT PLANTING. YOU MAY NEED SUNGLASSES IN THE EARLY SPRING FOR ALL THE BRIGHT NEON YELLOW COLOR ‘JORDAN’ WILL SHINE IN YOUR GARDEN.
