Description Reviews

Orange Dream is one of the most spectacular varieties of Japanese maple, prized for its vibrantly colored foliage, which goes through a fascinating cycle of shades: intense yellow in spring, light green in summer, and a superb golden-orange in autumn. With an upright and airy habit, it is ideal for Asian, modern gardens, or as a decorative accent in small gardens.
The plant is delivered well-developed, in an 11-liter pot, with a height of 80–100 cm, carefully packaged to arrive in perfect condition.
