Description
Acer palmatum 'Orangeola' is a stunning weeping Japanese maple known for its delicate cascading branches and vibrant seasonal foliage colour. This elegant ornamental tree brings movement, texture, and striking colour to gardens throughout the year.
The finely dissected leaves emerge bright orange-red in spring, creating a glowing display of colour. Through summer the foliage deepens to rich red tones before transforming into brilliant fiery shades of orange and crimson in autumn.
'Orangeola' is prized for its graceful cascading growth habit, forming a soft mound of flowing branches that create a beautiful architectural feature in the garden. Its compact size and elegant shape make it ideal for borders, Japanese-style gardens, courtyard planting, and large patio containers.
This variety is particularly valued for its strong colour retention and naturally elegant form, making it a superb focal point in both traditional and contemporary garden designs.
Supplied in a 3L pot, this young ornamental tree is ready to plant and will gradually develop into a striking landscape feature.
