QUALITY GUARANTEED

  • Acer palmatum ‘Orange Dream’ is a Japanese maple well-suited to cooler regions, and it's prized for the stunning colour of its leaves year-round. The foliage changes, offering a constantly shifting display that draws the eye from spring through autumn. When fall arrives, the leaves explode into a vibrant array of warm tones, guaranteeing this acer will be a focal point in any garden.

  • New growth emerges in a bright orange, which slowly fades to a cheerful yellow as the seasons progress.'Orange Dream' makes a fine specimen shrub, a real gem. It takes its time, slowly maturing to around three meters in height over twenty years. This deliberate growth makes it perfect for gardens where a manageable size and a lasting structure are key.

  • When you purchase it, the plant will already have a robust root system and be approximately 20–30 cm tall, which means it settles in quickly after you plant it. Like all deciduous acers, it goes dormant in winter and early spring, so it will arrive without leaves. That's just how it is.

    Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.

    Best Growing Conditions Grow in partial shade to gentle sun in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.

    Top tip

    Mulch around the root zone each spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
