Vitifolium Full Moon Upright Japanese Maple, also called Grapevine Maple, is one of the most striking of all Full Moon Japanese maples. Its name comes from its exceptionally large, rounded leaves, which resemble grapevine foliage but grow on a strong, upright tree form. In spring, new leaves emerge coppery orange before settling into a deep, refreshing green that provides a lush summer canopy.
By late summer, subtle bronze tints begin to appear, hinting at the brilliant autumn show to come. In fall, Vitifolium Full Moon Upright Japanese Maple erupts in an extraordinary display of scarlet, orange, and golden yellow, with its oversized leaves catching the light like lanterns in the landscape. The wide leaves not only maximize the seasonal color impact but also give this Japanese maple a presence that feels both bold and graceful.
Vitifolium Full Moon Upright Japanese Maple forms a sturdy, well-branched tree that works beautifully as a focal point in large gardens, woodland plantings, or as a shade-providing specimen. It thrives in partial shade and has even earned the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its exceptional performance and beauty.
