Care Information:

Climate Adaptability: 'Orange Dream' thrives in the South African climate, particularly in mild to moderate conditions. It can tolerate both heat and cold to some extent, but protection during extreme weather is recommended.

Sun Exposure: Place your 'Orange Dream' Japanese Maple in a partially shaded area to shield it from intense sunlight. This will help preserve the brilliance of its colorful foliage and prevent leaf scorching.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. During hot and dry periods, increase the watering frequency to prevent drought stress and maintain the health of your tree.

Soil Type: Plant 'Orange Dream' in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. If your soil is heavy or clayey, enrich it with organic matter to enhance drainage and support the optimal growth of the tree.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is required for this variety. Remove any dead or damaged branches during late winter or early spring to promote healthy growth and maintain its graceful form.

Fertilisation: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser designed for Japanese Maples in early spring.
