Acer shirasawanum ‘Bashful’
Dwarf Full Moon Japanese Maple

Zones 6-9

‘Bashful’ is a dwarf compact full moon Japanese maple that forms a nice small rounded habit. The leaves are more orange when leafing out, turning to a chartreuse green. Fall color can range from yellow to orange. The large rounded leaves are similar in shape to that of ‘Autumn Moon’ but the small globose habit make ‘Bashful’ stand out. ‘Bashful’ may reach 2-3 ft in height by 3-4 ft in width in 10 years. This makes ‘Bashful’ a great full moon Japanese maple for containers or small spaces. ‘Bashful’ performs best when given morning sun with protection from the hot afternoon sun. ‘Bashful’ was found and introduced by our good friend Crispin Silva.
