Acer shirasawanum 'Jordan'
Jordan Golden Full Moon Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

Acer shirasawanum ‘Jordan’ is a superb yellow cultivar that can brighten any garden. This exciting new selection has better color and more vigor than several of its golden predecessors. It was found by Fratelli Gilardelli of Gilardelli Nursery in Italy and was named after his son.

‘Jordan’ may boast the brightest yellow shades of all Japanese maple cultivars in early spring. This bright yellow coloration is often outlined with a light border of red. Autumn colors are amazing shades or deep maroon and orange. ‘Jordan’ is listed as an Acer shirasawanum but may actually be an Acer shirasawanum x palmatum hybrid. This would explain its vigor and heat tolerance. ‘Jordan’ will typically reach 10-12 ft in 15 years. We recommend late day shade for the best colors.

This is certainly a Japanese maple that brings the 'wow' factor for color and texture. We recommend ‘Jordan’ as the perfect tree to contrast deep maroons or to be used as a focal point planting. You may need sunglasses in the early spring for all the bright neon yellow color ‘Jordan’ will shine in your garden.

Trees were potted from large liners to gallons in this spring and may not have completely filled out their pots.

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
