Overview

This decorative plant is primarily grown for its foliage, which is bright red when it first emerges, then turns a fresh yellow-green as it matures. It then takes on spectacular autumn colour, turning orange and then red shades before it falls. The winged red fruits that develop in late summer are also attractive and these can usually be seen swirling to the ground as they ripen in autumn. This relatively compact, deciduous shrub will provide you with a beautiful focal point in a small garden, while in larger spaces, it can be used to illuminate a partially shaded border. Said to be more resistant to leaf scorch than other acers, the striking foliage of Moonrise is still at its best where it is protected from cold, drying winds and excessive midday sun.

Care guide

Add a top-dressing of a multi-purpose fertiliser around the base of the plant in late spring. No routine pruning is required. Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in April when the plant is in full growth.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
