This little tree is upright and sculptural in shape. It grows at a moderate rate of 6″-9″ per year and attains a height and width of 6′-8′ in 10 years. The colorful leaves are palmate with prominent veins and 9-11 sharply toothed lobes. The leaf petioles and current year’s growth are bright red, adding contrast to the light-colored leaves. Tiny clusters of pink and cream flowers sit upright among the leaves and mature into small brown samaras or whirligigs that hang on until fall.Autumn Moon is a beautiful specimen tree for small spaces, such as city gardens, rock gardens, courtyards, Japanese gardens, containers, and bonsai. A well-placed tree that gets adequate light and is protected from hot or cold wind brightens a property with its exquisite colors and is a must for collectors! Autumn Moon needs to be planted in rich, moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soil in full sun to partial shade. Full sun intensifies the foliage color, but shade softens it to a light yellow-green. It does better in full to partial sun in the colder zones of its range (5-9) but needs to be protected from hot afternoon sun in the warmer zones of the South and planted where it receives morning sun or dappled shade. The tree needs to be watered regularly for the first one or two years, especially during periods of dry weather. Once established, it is drought-tolerant. It is most brilliant in cool weather with consistently moist soil, so a layer of mulch is effective in keeping the roots cool and the soil moist. Container-grown trees and bonsais will need to be watered more often than those planted in the ground because the soil dries out more quickly in a pot. It’s also essential to use a pot with holes in the bottom so water can drain adequately and keep the roots healthy.
