Description
An absolutely beautiful tree with vivid coloring spring through fall, the leaves of the Orange Dream Japanese Maple emerge yellow with orange-red margins in spring. The leaves slowly fade to a bright lime, chartreuse green color by early summer and in fall revert back to the spring color but with more orange and red. In hotter climates we suggest afternoon shade for best color. All grown up, Orange Dream reaches 12 to 15 feet in height and 8 to 10 feet wide.
