It builds into a wide-spreading, layered small tree rather than a tight upright one, and it turns to orange and scarlet in autumn with more intensity than most maples manage in Australian conditions. It is a tree for cool districts and sheltered aspects, not for exposed western sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Attaryi Full Moon Maple\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeeply dissected leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Large rounded leaves are cut almost to the base, giving a lacy outline that reads well against a plain wall.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayered spreading habit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Branches build in horizontal tiers, so the tree has structure even when bare.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutumn colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Foliage turns through orange to scarlet in cool districts, holding for several weeks.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarger leaf scale\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leaves are noticeably bigger than \u003cem\u003eAcer palmatum\u003c\/em\u003e forms, giving a bolder texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter framework\u003c\/strong\u003e: The bare branch structure is worth looking at through the dormant months.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheltered courtyard feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: An enclosed space protects the foliage from wind and afternoon sun.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoodland understorey\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grows naturally beneath a high deciduous canopy where light is filtered.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese garden planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Traditional companion to moss, stone and clipped evergreens.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry courtyards\u003c\/strong\u003e: The spreading tiered habit fills a small paved space without dominating it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e Not a screening tree; 3m if grouped in a woodland setting\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 to 5m to allow the spreading crown to develop\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late autumn to winter while dormant, or early spring before bud break\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, humus-rich, slightly acid, free-draining soil; avoid alkaline and compacted ground\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the root zone consistently moist through the first three summers, as leaf scorch on maples is almost always a water and exposure problem.
