Acer shirasawanum 'Palmatifolium' (Full Moon Maple) is a slow-growing, deciduous shrub or small tree that typically matures to 15–20 feet tall and wide, though it can occasionally reach up to 30 feet in ideal conditions. It is characterized by a strong, upright, and shrubby habit with light green foliage and distinct yellow-to-crimson fall color.
