'Orange Dream' is a beautiful Japanese maple with exceptional color. The leaves of 'Orange Dream' leaf out in the early spring with bright golden leaves that are outlined in bright orange-red. This color contrast is striking. 'Orange Dream' is excellent as a focal point planting or when planted in combination with deep maroon Japanese maples. 'Orange Dream' can also be used to brighten dark spots in the garden. In hotter climates, we recommend giving 'Orange Dream' protection from the hot afternoon sun for the best color. Fall colors are bright oranges to red.
'Orange Dream' is an Italian introduction from Gilardelli Nursery. 'Orange Dream' may reach 10 ft in 15 years becoming denser and more shrub-like with time.
