Either way the autumn display, running from orange through scarlet to deep crimson, is the strongest of any full moon maple selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Green Cascade Full Moon Maple\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLacy Leaf Texture\u003c\/strong\u003e: The rounded full moon leaf cut into narrow lobes reads as fine and intricate at close range.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Possible Forms\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left low it mounds and spills; staked and trained it lifts into a weeping standard.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutumn Sequence\u003c\/strong\u003e: Colour moves through the canopy over several weeks rather than turning all at once.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Root Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fibrous roots stay close to the surface and do not lift paving or threaten services.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Suitability\u003c\/strong\u003e: The slow rate and modest size make it one of the better maples for permanent pot culture.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaised Planter Spill\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positioned at the edge of a raised bed it pours over the retaining face.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Style Garden\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sits naturally with gravel, stone lanterns, moss and clipped evergreen forms.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade Bed Under High Canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thrives in the filtered light beneath established deciduous trees.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry Pot Specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single plant in a wide glazed container beside a doorway marks each change of season.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 2.5m when planted in a group\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter, while fully dormant\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool, moisture retentive, humus rich and slightly acidic with free drainage; lime, dry sand and waterlogged clay are all fatal in the long run\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mulch heavily to 75mm to keep the shallow roots cool and water deeply twice weekly through the first two summers, as a hot dry root zone shows up immediately as crisp brown leaf margins.
