Description

The newest member of our own-root Japanese maple collection, this very colorful selection greets spring with golden leaves edged in red, spends summer as a lively chartreuse, then ends the season decked out in vivid orange. Appealing foliage is amply dissected for that popular lacy look, but not so much to cause issues in production or the landscape. From the Netherlands' Jim Koot, this plant is sold as 'Orange Dream' in the EU.

Growing Tips

Japanese maples are relatively adaptable in terms of growing conditions. In cold or exposed sites, they should be sited where they get some protection from the harshest winter weather.
