About this plant
Acer palmatum 'Orangeola' is a show-stopping Japanese Maple, celebrated for its unique cascading form and dynamic leaf coloration. Its deeply lobed, lace-like leaves emerge in spring with brilliant orange-red hues, maturing to a rich burgundy-green in summer. As autumn approaches, 'Orangeola' truly lives up to its name, transforming into a fiery spectacle of glowing orange and deep red, creating an unforgettable focal point in any garden. This graceful specimen tree adds a touch of architectural elegance and vibrant color throughout the growing season. Ideal for rock gardens, patios, or as a distinctive specimen, 'Orangeola' brings sophisticated beauty to shaded and partially shaded areas. Its relatively compact size makes it suitable for smaller gardens while still delivering a dramatic visual impact.
Care & maintenance
Prefers well-drained, organically rich soil. Protect from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves. Prune only to remove dead or crossing branches in late winter to early spring. Mulch annually to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
