Why plant Jordan Full Moon Japanese Maple?
Jordan Full Moon Japanese Maple is the warm-toned cousin to the brighter lemon-gold maples. In spring, the leaves emerge in apricot-gold to orange hues that feel soft, glowing, and just a little bit fancy, like the tree is already dressed for golden hour. The leaf shape is classic full moon maple: rounded, gently lobed, and full of texture without looking busy.
As the season moves along, the foliage often settles into chartreuse tones, then fall arrives with orange to red color that brings the warmth back for a final encore. It’s an ornamental maple that stays interesting from first leaf to last.
How to use Jordan Full Moon Japanese Maple in the landscape?
Use it as a focal point where the warm spring color can be appreciated up close, near an entry, patio, or main window view. Because the foliage has a luminous, warm tone, it looks best with calmer companions like deep green evergreens or simple groundcovers that let the canopy glow. In warmer climates, part shade, especially afternoon shade, can help keep foliage looking its best through summer. Give it enough breathing room so the layered branching and rounded leaf texture stay visible and intentional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Full moon maples have small, inconspicuous spring flowers that are not the main feature. This tree is grown for its warm-toned foliage and colorful fall display.
The strongest apricot-gold to orange tones are usually in spring on new growth. As leaves mature, color often shifts to chartreuse or yellow-green, and light and heat can influence intensity through summer.
Prune lightly in late winter while dormant to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Keep cuts minimal to preserve the natural layered branching and refined canopy shape.
