This Japanese Maple shows some brilliant foliage changes from green to purple and then a brilliant shade of orange-red in the fall. Graceful, arching deciduous tree displaying deeply-lobed, finely-serrated leaves, giving an artistic lacy effect. Grows slightly taller than wide, unlike most weeping lace-leaf Japanese maples.

Our Orangeola Maples are #1 planted whips that approximately 3-4' tall.

Care:

Provide slightly acidic, well-drained soil; shelter from drying winds. Avoid harsh afternoon sun exposures in hot summer areas. Mulch to keep root zone cool. Water deeply, regularly during first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Apply slow-release fertilizer in early spring.

Growth Habit:

As with most Japanese Maples, they are very slow growers (but not the slowest growing variety) reaching 4 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide in 10 years; up to 8 ft. tall at maturity.

Toxicity:

Both deer & rabbit resistant. Considered to be non-toxic to pets.
