Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Orangeola’

A beautiful cut leaf Maple, Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Orangeola’ has a dense growth habit

Bright red new foliage in spring that turns to a bronze and green colour as it ages makes ‘Orangeola’ a very attractive plant. The standout fiery orange to red autumn tones give it its common name and makes it a beautiful plant at this time of the year.

With a natural weeping habit this is a small tree that will reach around 2 metres in height. Its natural spreading or mounding habit means it will spread to around 2 metres across.

The foliage is fine, lacy and heavily dissected or cut leaf. This is a slow growing variety and it is suited to growing in containers. With the added advantage of holding its foliage late into autumn ‘Orangeola’ is a brilliant landscaping plant.

Attractive foliage through the the spring and summer and lovely buttery orange autumn colours all add up to making this a year round attraction.
Foliage is bright green, five lobed with standout red stems. It is the bark of the tree that gives it its name, a really red coral reef tone that turns brown with age.
