Notes
'Orange Dream' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Orange Dream') is a small tree for borders, containers, specimen planting, and woodland gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows slowly into a broad form, so give it room to spread. Bees and birds visit it. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Green Carpet Japanese pachysandra, Alpine hair grass, and Spring snowflake.
