Orange Dream is memorable for its amazing autumn colour and is very similar to Acer Palmatum Katsura.
This is quite a sensitive tree and as a result, it , requires a sheltered spot where it is protected from cold winds, in particular those from the north and east. This tree also requires a position where it does not get too much early morning sunshine as its foliage is quite sensitive. Once you have the correct planting position, this tree will not disappoint. Small reddish-purple flowers are followed by typical, red-winged maple seeds. It is autumn where its name Orange Dream is most appropriate when after the leaves, which have been a yellowy-green colour in summer are now followed by the delicious orange colouring. With its final height of around 1.6m (5ft 4in), this tree would be ideal for keeping in a large container on a patio or for planting in a very small garden.

Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A FenceIt is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.Do I Need To Stake My Ornamental Tree?Our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Planting In The Corner Of A GardenAir and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
