This distinctive cascading Japanese Maple changes color three times a year! Its finely-cut dissected foliage emerges in brilliant tangerine shades, then transforms to a two-tone green with an overlay of gold-orange tones in summer, and finally culminates in a fiery red-orange display of fall color! The green and gold-orange summer foliage is further accented by continual bright orange new growth. It's a spectacular effect that leaves you wishing the fall color would never arrive!

Orangeola grows into a gently weeping shape that is much more upright in habit than other cascading Japanese Maples but still creates a wonderful effect when allowed to spill over the sides of containers or the edge of a wall. It's a relatively slow grower, only reaching 3 feet tall and just about as wide in 10 years, and makes a great small foundation tree or focal point for small gardens. If you've never grown a Japanese Maple before, Orangeola is a fine choice to get you hooked! Just provide a location in either full sun or part shade with ample water, especially during times of drought, and you'll be rewarded with spectacular changing color year after year! Zones 5-9.
