Product Description
Bright and cheerful, Sunny Japanese Maple is a golden full moon maple prized for its luminous foliage and beautiful seasonal color. Its finely divided leaves emerge in brilliant yellow to golden tones and maintain their glowing color through much of the growing season before transitioning to shades of orange and red in fall.
With its upright habit and eye-catching golden foliage, 'Sunny' makes an excellent focal point in woodland gardens, shaded borders, containers, and Japanese-inspired landscapes. In warmer climates, protection from intense afternoon sun helps preserve its color and protect the foliage.

Japanese Maple Care
Japanese maples thrive in well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Most varieties prefer morning sun with protection from intense afternoon heat, especially in warmer climates. Water deeply when needed, allowing the soil to remain moist but never waterlogged. For the best results, always consider the specific sun, size, and growing information listed in the Tree Details above.
