Jap. Maple with orange fall color spr. and summ. green

8 years ago

Hi, I tried the tree forum, It's hard to post on there now. I HATE the changes to Gardenweb. Anyways, I was wondering what name of Japanese Maple I would want to buy, that has green foliage in spring and summer, but, nice bright orange or orange-red in fall? I don't just want a reddish fall color, I already have a Jap. Maple. Bloodgood, which is red all of the time.

Find you a upright waterfall, they are orange in the fall. It will still not get too tall though.

Also check out Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium'.

Any of the green leafed dissectums will produce orange fall color.......as will 'Hogyoku', 'Katsura', 'Kamagata', 'Jeddeloh Orange', 'Orange Dream', 'Mikawa Yatsubusa', 'Lemon Chiffon', 'Orangeola', 'Red Pygmy', 'Spring Delight'. And Acer japonicum 'Emmett's Pumpkin'.

And a lot more will produce fall color that includes a lot of orange coloration but not necessarily limited to just orange.....'Aconitifolium' is one of those.
