Orangeola Japanese Maple is a beautiful dwarf deciduous tree known for its stunning orange-red foliage. The leaves emerge in spring with a vibrant orange color, turns green while keeping orange and red highlights in summer, and gradually turns to a deep red or burgundy in fall. Grows best in rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Prefers full sun in cooler climates, but needs afternoon shade in southern areas.
