Origin
The Acer Palmatum 'Orangeola', also known as the Japanese Maple, originated in East Asia, particularly in Japan. It has been used in Japanese garden culture for hundreds of years due to its excellent aesthetic properties. As the Western world discovered this beautiful tree, its popularity grew beyond its original habitat.

Characteristics
Distinctive for the Acer Palmatum 'Orangeola' is the beautiful and vivid orange-red colour of its leaves in the autumn. The tree has delicate, lobed leaves that start as a bright green in spring and intensify to dark purple in the summer. Moreover, the Orangeola has a graceful hanging growth form and usually reaches a height and width of about 4 meters.

Care
The Acer Palmatum 'Orangeola' requires careful and regular care to ensure the tree stays healthy and maintains its attractive appearance. It prefers a sheltered position to protect against strong wind. The soil must be well-draining to prevent stagnant water. It is also important to regularly fertilise the tree, especially during the growth season, usually from spring to early autumn.
