Why Plant Moonrise™ Full Moon Japanese Maple?
Moonrise™ is prized for color that looks illuminated from within. The foliage emerges with a golden tone and often carries a rosy red edge on new growth, giving the canopy a crisp, high-contrast look without needing flowers to make an impact. Through summer, it holds that bright, cheerful leaf color, making it especially valuable in landscapes where you want to lift and lighten the palette.
As the season cools, it transitions into orange to red fall color, adding warmth and depth before leaf drop. It’s a standout choice for anyone who wants a smaller ornamental maple that reads bold, polished, and distinctly colorful across multiple seasons.
How to use Moonrise™ Full Moon Japanese Maple in the landscape?
Plant it where the foliage color can be enjoyed up close, near an entry walk, patio, or a main window view. It performs beautifully in part shade, especially with morning sun and afternoon protection in warmer climates, helping the leaves stay clean and vibrant. Use it as a focal point in a layered foundation bed, pairing it with deep green evergreens so the golden foliage stands out clearly from spring through summer and the orange to red fall color feels even richer. Keep surrounding plants simple in texture and color so the canopy remains the feature, and give it enough space for the branching to develop into a balanced, ornamental silhouette.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
