The Japanese Maple Orange Flame (Acer palmatum 'Orange Flame') is a captivating deciduous tree known for its dynamic foliage color and finely dissected leaves. In early spring, the tree lives up to its name by pushing out vibrant orange-red new growth that creates a dramatic, fiery display. As the seasons progress, the leaves transition to a rich green in summer before shifting again in fall to brilliant shades of orange, red, and gold. The finely cut, lace-like leaves give the tree a delicate, elegant texture, making it a standout focal point in gardens or container plantings.

Typically growing 6 to 10 feet tall with a spreading, mounded habit, Orange Flame is well-suited for small gardens, shaded borders, or patios. It thrives in partial shade, especially in warmer climates, and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Protection from hot afternoon sun and strong winds helps preserve the vibrant leaf color and prevents leaf scorch. With its manageable size and striking color, Orange Flame brings a sense of refinement and seasonal drama to any landscape.
