Plant description
Beautiful orange-green leaves appear each spring, gradually becoming greener throughout the summer. Then in the autumn, shades of orange and yellow start to creep in again, gradually becoming more intense until the leaves are shed. Never getting to big, 'Orange Dream' is a bushy, spreading maple that can be used as a specimen in smaller spaces, where its graceful, open habit can best be admired. Keep it well fed and watered and it'll do well in a large pot too!
