A cascading laceleaf maple that glows in waves of orange and red, shifting color through the seasons like a living sunset
FEATURES:
- Finely cut, cascading foliage with rich orange and red tones
- One of the best laceleaf varieties for vibrant, long lasting color
- Compact mound form perfect for small gardens and intimate spaces
- New growth emerges orange, deepens to burgundy, then brightens again in fall
- Excellent near patios, pathways, water features, and rock gardens
- Naturally elegant and low maintenance
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree; does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Give Orangeola morning sun and afternoon shade in warmer climates for the brightest color and healthiest foliage. In cooler regions, it can tolerate more sun with consistent moisture. Use mulch to protect the root zone and regulate soil temperature, keeping mulch away from the trunk. Avoid heavy pruning, but lightly refine the shape in late winter to maintain the elegant cascading form. Pair Orangeola with deep greens, slate stone, or light colored groundcovers to amplify the sunset colors throughout the season.
Growth Facts
- Hardiness Zone: 5-9
- Mature Height: 4-6' tall
- Mature Width: 4-6' wide

Frequently Asked Questions
Orangeola is known for its vivid, long lasting color. It offers bright orange new growth, deep burgundy summer tones, and a fiery orange-red fall display, all on a compact cascading form.
In warmer climates it benefits from afternoon shade to protect the fine foliage. Cooler climates allow for more sun exposure, especially if soil moisture is consistent.
Prune lightly in late winter while dormant. Focus on enhancing the natural cascading shape and removing crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning, which disrupts the form.
