The widest maple leaves in the world. The most spectacular fall color of any maple.

Acer japonicum, the Full Moon Maple, is the larger, more boldly leaved relative of the Japanese Maple, producing round, deeply lobed leaves with 9 to 11 lobes that can reach 6 inches across and turn the most vivid shades of scarlet, crimson, and orange in fall of any maple species in cultivation. The Full Moon Maple is less commonly grown than its relative Acer palmatum but is considered by serious maple collectors to produce superior fall color and a more substantial, architectural presence in the garden. The 'Oisami' selection develops into an upright, spreading small tree with leaves that unfurl in spring tinged with red before settling into fresh green for summer. Seed-grown Full Moon Maples express the natural genetic variation of the species, producing trees with individual character that no grafted nursery selection can match. If you are looking to buy Full Moon Maple seeds or grow Japanese Full Moon Maple from seed, this is the maple that redefines what fall color means.

  • The largest-leaved native maple of Japan, with round, 9 to 11-lobed leaves reaching 6 inches across
  • Among the most vivid fall color displays of any maple in cultivation, deep scarlet to crimson
  • Develops a more substantial, architectural form than Acer palmatum, suited to larger garden spaces
  • Seed-grown specimens produce individual genetic variation in leaf form, color intensity, and growth habit
  • Prized by Japanese maple collectors worldwide as a more dramatic alternative to the more common species

Things you probably did not know about the Full Moon Maple

It is named for the shape of its leaves. The Japanese name for Acer japonicum is Hauchiwa kaede, meaning round fan maple, referring to the nearly circular leaf outline that resembles a full moon. The leaf is so distinctive in its rounded, fan-like form that it has been used as a design motif in Japanese textile and ceramic art for centuries.

The fall color transition happens faster than almost any other maple. Full Moon Maple fall color often develops in a matter of days rather than the gradual progression seen in Sugar Maple or Red Maple. A tree that is entirely green on a Monday morning can be fully crimson by Thursday after the first cold night of autumn. The speed and intensity of the color change makes it one of the most dramatic events in any autumn garden.

It is significantly rarer in cultivation than Acer palmatum. While hundreds of Acer palmatum cultivars fill nursery catalogs, Acer japonicum remains much less commonly grown in western horticulture. The combination of superior fall color and relative scarcity makes it genuinely sought after by collectors and serious Japanese maple enthusiasts. Growing from seed is often the most accessible way to acquire it.

The leaves are edible in Japan. Young Full Moon Maple leaves are battered and deep-fried in a Japanese confection called momiji tempura, a traditional autumn treat sold at temples and festivals in Osaka and throughout the Kansai region. The leaves are sometimes salt-preserved for up to a year before frying. The resulting tempura is delicate, crisp, and mildly sweet, one of the most unusual edible leaf preparations in any culinary tradition.

Great addition in my kitchen
Size: 1.7" x 5.1"
I really like these grinders. They are perfect size. I use them for other seasonings that I want to grind up for marinating or cooking. They are adjustable so if I want larger or smaller grinds, easily do-able. Great value for the price. They look nice and are easy to use. Also easy to clean.

Doesn't last
Size: 2.5" x 5.1", Size: 2.5" x 5.1"
This grinder appeared to work great and is one of the few ceramic options available. Unfortunately, the ceramic grinder has already broken inside, detaching from the bottle altogether. There are probably tiny plastic pieces in my leftover peppercorns. Don't buy it unless you want to purchase it every few months, which is unfortunate.

Very nice, work well, good gift at a reasonable price
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
I've owned a few different brands and types of grinders before, and these are quite similar. The last set I purchased had the exact same grinder heads, just on smaller glass bottoms. The grinders on those became, unfortunately, unusable due to clogging that resulted in breakage of the ceramic gear. I worry that, since these new grinders have the same heads on them, that these won't last longer than the last set. However, I read reviews of the "best" grinders out there, and these came just behind a more (much more) expensive set with metal gears instead of ceramic. They'd last longer, you might think, however, it was also mentioned that salt corrodes metal and so that's why the vast majority of grinders, mostly intended for use with salt, are made of ceramic. So why would I spend five times the price on the expensive ones? So far, I'm very pleased with this set. They're much more comfortable to use than my previous set, which had way smaller glass bases. I can really get a good grip on these. The little "dial" on the bottom, to adjust the coarseness of the grind, moves very smoothly on these. It was so difficult to turn the dials on the previous set - and mind you, these are exactly the same as the new ones - that I had to use a pair of pliers to turn them. Strange. I see this identical grinding mechanism on several of the grinders available on Amazon, so it makes sense to assume they're all sourced from the same manufacturer by different vendors. These also hold about twice the amount as my previous set - not a major hassle to refill, but nice not to have to bother with it as often. Quite elegant looking, too. The set comes with a nifty metal holder with prongs on either side that the grinders snap into place securely for transport from kitchen to dining table. They're inexpensive enough that you can easily afford to buy two sets for each end of your table. That's a nice touch if you're having several dinner guests or a large family, so you don't have to pass the salt and pepper around. I guess the $100 set with the metal gears might last longer, even with inevitable salt corrosion, but these will likely last a good long while with their ceramic gears and, if they do break down sooner, at least you could buy four or five of these sets for the same price. I recommend this set.

Love, Love, Love
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
THIS SET, I LOVE! Absolutely love. When you buy something that you can't see and physically touch- You're always rolling the dice And whether or not you'll like what you receive.. I have bought a few grinder sets in the past, use for a bit and then toss, and back to buy another. This set is a keeper! It washed well, was easy to fill with a wider mouth opening and the grider worked perfectly. I also like having the ability of changing the coarseness, as our household members have different preferences. Looks nice on my table, and the stand was an added bonus. The size is large enough to not have to refill as often but not to big to look out of place. A good price, they look nice, nice grip and durability. I will be buying a couple more sets as gifts to those that have been here for dinner and mentioned that like them as well. I have no 'cons' to list on the product. I love everything about it. Look no further- you'll be pleasantly pleased.

Great value for the money the set works very nicely
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
This is a nice set of Peppermill and salt grinder. The capacity is very nice and it is easy to clean. It’s made of sturdy glass and the top is a very nice stainless. It’s the perfect size for my hands and it distributes a very nicely, ground pepper and salt. I had to switch the salt and pepper from one shaker to another because one was not grinding the peppercorns, but when I switched it to the other, they both worked fine.
