Ed Woods Full Moon Maple is a stunning deciduous tree that boasts a unique umbrella-like canopy. The leaves are the star of the show, with their large, full-moon shape and deep lobes, which turn a vibrant array of colors from green in the summer to fiery reds and oranges in the fall. In spring, the tree produces small, red-purple flowers that hang in clusters, adding to its ornamental appeal. This tree thrives best in well-drained soil and prefers partial to full sun exposure.
