The widest maple leaves in the world. The most spectacular fall color of any maple.

Acer japonicum, the Full Moon Maple, is the larger, more boldly leaved relative of the Japanese Maple, producing round, deeply lobed leaves with 9 to 11 lobes that can reach 6 inches across and turn the most vivid shades of scarlet, crimson, and orange in fall of any maple species in cultivation. The Full Moon Maple is less commonly grown than its relative Acer palmatum but is considered by serious maple collectors to produce superior fall color and a more substantial, architectural presence in the garden. The 'Oisami' selection develops into an upright, spreading small tree with leaves that unfurl in spring tinged with red before settling into fresh green for summer. Seed-grown Full Moon Maples express the natural genetic variation of the species, producing trees with individual character that no grafted nursery selection can match. If you are looking to buy Full Moon Maple seeds or grow Japanese Full Moon Maple from seed, this is the maple that redefines what fall color means.

  • The largest-leaved native maple of Japan, with round, 9 to 11-lobed leaves reaching 6 inches across
  • Among the most vivid fall color displays of any maple in cultivation, deep scarlet to crimson
  • Develops a more substantial, architectural form than Acer palmatum, suited to larger garden spaces
  • Seed-grown specimens produce individual genetic variation in leaf form, color intensity, and growth habit
  • Prized by Japanese maple collectors worldwide as a more dramatic alternative to the more common species

Things you probably did not know about the Full Moon Maple

It is named for the shape of its leaves. The Japanese name for Acer japonicum is Hauchiwa kaede, meaning round fan maple, referring to the nearly circular leaf outline that resembles a full moon. The leaf is so distinctive in its rounded, fan-like form that it has been used as a design motif in Japanese textile and ceramic art for centuries.

The fall color transition happens faster than almost any other maple. Full Moon Maple fall color often develops in a matter of days rather than the gradual progression seen in Sugar Maple or Red Maple. A tree that is entirely green on a Monday morning can be fully crimson by Thursday after the first cold night of autumn. The speed and intensity of the color change makes it one of the most dramatic events in any autumn garden.

It is significantly rarer in cultivation than Acer palmatum. While hundreds of Acer palmatum cultivars fill nursery catalogs, Acer japonicum remains much less commonly grown in western horticulture. The combination of superior fall color and relative scarcity makes it genuinely sought after by collectors and serious Japanese maple enthusiasts. Growing from seed is often the most accessible way to acquire it.

The leaves are edible in Japan. Young Full Moon Maple leaves are battered and deep-fried in a Japanese confection called momiji tempura, a traditional autumn treat sold at temples and festivals in Osaka and throughout the Kansai region. The leaves are sometimes salt-preserved for up to a year before frying. The resulting tempura is delicate, crisp, and mildly sweet, one of the most unusual edible leaf preparations in any culinary tradition.

Beautiful and trendy especially with minor adjustments!
Color: Red, Color: Red
The satin fabric of the bag is of great quality. Thick and resistant to snags. I partied all night with it and it held up beautifully. The color saturation of the red was perfect and against my dark dress was a perfect pop of dramatic color contrast. Notes: The magnetic closure is strong but doesn't form a complete closure because there are only two magnets. Don't turn the bag upside down or small items can fall out. There was a strong chemically smell that dissipated after a week of airing out and adding a few drops of perfume to a tissue that I kept inside the bag. I wanted a "dumpling" clutch so I altered it slightly. First I colored over the gold closure with nail polish to match the fabric color. There is something about the gold tone that detracted from the elegance. Then I added a stitch to the bottom and top corners to round the shape a bit. See pics I can hardly sew on buttons so if I could do it, anyone can! The fabric is well lined and has just enough structure to it to hold the dumpling effect without becoming too slouchy looking. The chain is nice with more elegant looking clasps than other similarly priced bags, but I didn’t use it because I wanted a clutch. Under my arm or in my hand as a clutch this was light and comfortable. Got lots of compliments and questions about where I got it. Overall a fantastic buy.

Roomy, Quality and Versatile
Color: Navy
Very nice quality and appearance. Large enough for wallet, phone, etc. Easily converted from clutch to shoulder purse with removable chain. Handle trim and chain are gold color. Wish it silver but very pleased overall and feel it is a good value.

Beautiful clutch... but chain is defective
Color: Navy, Color: Navy
This is a really beautiful clutch and the size inside is perfect for your necessities. (lip balm, hand sanitizer, pocket tissues, husbands inhaler, hand cream) I really loved that about it however, the chain which is the only option to not holding it all night is terrible. I bought this clutch for a gala but the chain got stuck on my dress just the first time I tried it on. I wish there was another option so I don't have to hold it all night. The chain is really bad quality. It will shred my lace dress. Also the chain is super long. Like too long to actually wear on on side. Or it would fall off all the time. I am 5'9 and this chain to super long for me. You would have to wear it as a cross body- and that does not look nice with formal attire. Returning.

Quality for lower price than brand sunnies
Color: Beige Tortoise Frame / Brown Gradient Lens
High quality for a low price. I'm someone who always loses my sunglasses so I won't allow myself to purchase any name brands. I've had my fair share of cheap sunnies for this reason. These are probably the best "off-brand" I've tried - and I've tried a lot. They are definitely polarized and are lightweight with a good fit - some of the cheaper brands are really tight on the ears and the plastic is clearly cheaply made, making them heavier. They are also a cute style with a variety of colors available. The other thing with cheaper sunglasses is they are usually not that great to peer out of. Some of them I can't wear to drive bc they are too dark, or not dark enough for glares on the road. These are great for driving - the lens coloring is just right to see well and also feel like you're not squinting. I'm buying another pair for when I inevitably lose these!
