Acer palmatum 'Moonfire'

'Moonfire' is one of our favorites. It seems to grow faster and hold it's color better in shade than other red leaf cultivars.'Moonfire' also tolerates full sun and mantains it's color into the hot Georgia summer as well as any upright variety we grow. The foliage of 'Moonfire' comes out dark purple in spring but tends to turn more red as summer nears, except in more shady locations where the color remains more purple. It's leaves are slightly translucent and tend to glow when the sun lights them from behind. Fall color is bright fiery red.

Height: 18-20feet Width: 14-16 Feet
