'Aureum'

'Full Moon maple'

 

Zone 6

(Europe 7)

Autumn colouration is an orange through red sometimes tinged with purple

These pictures show the different colours of this plant at varying times of the year

 

 

REMEMBER that all Japanese Maples prefer a slightly acid well drained soil with a constant moisture content.
