Jeddeloh Orange Japanese Maple

The Jeddeloh Orange Japanese Maple is a beautiful upright, weeping, small tree growing to around 7 or 8 feet tall in time, with a spread of only 5 or 6 feet. It has delicate lacy foliage, deeply cut and divided into very narrow, feathery lobes. The foliage is always changing color, from deep orange in spring to green edged in red in summer and then into pumpkin orange and yellow in fall. Even the winter twigs are yellow-orange, so this tree is always bringing color to your garden. Grow it as a specimen in a bed, in a courtyard or Asian garden, by a pond, or in a container or planter.

• Upright tree with cascading branches
• Green and terracotta red spring leaves
• Summer leaves are green with red edges
• Brilliant fall tones of pumpkin orange and yellow
• Ideal plant for containers and pots

The Jeddeloh Orange Japanese Maple grows best in moderate temperatures, in light shade or with just some morning sun. Moist, well-drained soil is necessary for good growth and the addition of organic material to the soil and as mulch is very valuable. Regular watering is needed to prevent the delicate leaves from shriveling in the heat and dryness of summer, but the outstanding beauty of this tree is a generous reward for the little care and attention that is needed. Pests and diseases are not normally problems, and the growth rate of this tree is good, making a wonderful specimen in a relatively short time.
