Award-winning Acer palmatum 'Orange Dream' is a medium-sized deciduous shrub with a striking foliage, season after season. Emerging golden-yellow with pink edges in early spring, the delicate foliage of lobed leaves matures to chartreuse in summer before turning brilliant orange-yellow in fall. As the leaves fall, they expose the graceful outlines of the bright green bark and twigs, adding interest to the winter landscape. Compact and upright growing, this eye-catching Japanese Maple is great for small gardens or containers.
