Orange Dream Japanese Maple - Fall Colors Arriving - November 2026
The small Orange Dream Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple) is starting to turn red and orange on the fan-shaped foliage around the small tree. Some photos are below. This tree went in the ground (in the backyard) in July. And, it seemed to handle the Summer just fine. Unlike the Frans Fontaine by the firepit that I posted about yesterday, this Japanese Maple is planted in a spot in the garden that is part of my usual sprinkler rotation. So, it received more water than the Frans Fontaine. It is, however, in more deep shade than the Frans Fontaine, too. Here are a few looks at this tree. Reds, oranges, greens and yellows. Is it a spectacular "Fall Show"? No. Not (yet?) really.
