Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Orangeola’ – Orangeola Japanese Maple

Botanical Name: Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Orangeola’

Alternate Name: Orangeola Laceleaf Japanese Maple

Orangeola Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum Dissectum ‘Orangeola’) is a stunning landscape tree for all seasons. Its form is semi-upright and weeping. It is extremely tolerant to full sun exposure. This tree’s foliage goes through a variety of changes throughout the growing season, and its graceful form provides structure to the landscape in winter.

Like other lace-leaf maples, the Orangeola Japanese Maple provides beauty for courtyards, gardens, and containers. The fine textured foliage contrasts beautifully with dark green and blue conifers. Together they can form a stunning Pacific Northwest landscape.

Unlike other weeping Japanese Maples – whose growth pattern is to spread wider than they grow tall – the Orangeola Japanese Maple has a relatively modest spread of 3-7 inches. It can grow up to 8 feet tall. It is therefore more suitable for planting in containers than other lace-leaf maples, and it forms a wonderful specimen on porches or patios.

In spring, the new growth emerges a bright orange or red. With a second flush of new growth, the tree can then take on a multi-colored appearance. It develops orange new growth, and the older leaves take on green or maroon hues. When summer comes, the foliage develops an attractive green color with orange and red highlights. In fall, ‘Orangeola’ continues its color changes and develops bright flaming red and burnt orange colors for a powerful display.
