Acer palmatum ‘Moonfire’

Acer palmatum ‘Moonfire’ is a striking Japanese maple admired for its rich, dark burgundy to deep purple foliage. The delicate, deeply lobed leaves emerge in shades of reddish-purple and maintain their dramatic coloration through much of the growing season, particularly when grown in good light. In autumn, the foliage can develop brighter red and crimson tones, creating a beautiful seasonal display. Its elegant foliage and refined branching make it an attractive specimen tree for gardens, courtyards, and landscaped areas.

‘Moonfire’ generally forms an upright, rounded habit and develops into a small ornamental tree over time. It grows best in moist, well-drained, fertile soil and benefits from protection against drying winds and intense afternoon heat. Partial shade can help preserve the rich leaf colour and reduce the risk of leaf scorch in hot climates. With its colourful foliage, graceful form, and relatively compact size, Acer palmatum ‘Moonfire’ is well suited to ornamental planting and container cultivation.
