One of the most outstanding cascading dissectums to being introduced in the 1980s, 'Orangeola' is noted for the bright, orange-red new foliage in springe. It manages to keep an orange flush on the leaves as they turn a rich red-green through the summer. It is boosted by a second flush of orange leaves in midsummer, and the two tone summer color ends with the leaves becoming dark red before turning fiery orange-red in the fall. It is more upright and less spreading than most dissectums, forming an attractive cascading mound. It’s strongly pendulous branches produce a superb spreading habit and will make a colorful centerpiece for your garden. Grows 6-12 inches a year.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. You may want to keep it away from hot, dry locations that receive direct afternoon sun or which get reflected sunlight, such as against the south side of a white wall. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. For best color, most maples need a location with part day's sun. Morning sun and afternoon part shade is ideal.
