Acer palmatum dissectum 'Orangeola' is a striking Japanese maple cultivar, known for its finely dissected foliage and cascading growth habit. Its deeply lobed leaves emerge bright orange to red in spring, evolve to rich greenish tones in summer with hints of red, and finally turn vivid crimson and orange in autumn. This compact and elegant tree is well-suited for smaller landscapes, patios, or as a focal point in a garden. Its graceful weeping form adds texture and movement to any space.
