Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) - Orange Dream XL

The 'Orange Dream' is a truly magnificent Japanese Maple, prized for its breathtaking seasonal color transition. As the leaves emerge in spring, they display a stunning, vivid golden-orange hue, which softens to a vibrant chartreuse-green in summer before transforming into brilliant shades of orange and red in the autumn. As an extra-large specimen, this tree offers an immediate, high-impact architectural presence, making it the perfect centerpiece for a serene garden, a sophisticated patio feature, or a highlight in a woodland-style border.

320 x 200 cm

Sunlight

Partial Shade. To keep the delicate, colorful foliage looking its best, provide a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade. Harsh midday sun can scorch the fine leaves, especially during the peak of summer.

Watering

Moderate. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. These maples have relatively shallow root systems and will appreciate regular watering, especially during dry summer spells. Use rainwater if possible, as they prefer slightly acidic conditions.

Soil & Drainage

Requires fertile, rich, and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. If planting in a container, a mix of ericaceous compost with added pine bark or grit works wonders. Drainage is crucial never let the roots sit in standing water.
