'Orange dream' is said to be a bit "temperamental". It often gets leaf spots, like 'Katsura'.

I have two from air-layering.

One in a shallow pot with lots of faults to correct (I will, I will, I promiss!)
Early Autumn colour display on Sept. 28 :

One in what you may call a "patio" pot, in almost 100% shade :

i have 3 of them, this is my newest one that I will be putting into a grow box this year in March, normally they look more orange yellow in the fall but this year they took full sun so i got purples and red

this is my previous years layer, I can't believe this is my only picture of it this fall.
The other I gave away to a friend

Leafing out :

The nebari's no good and the trunk too thin and long below the first branch : I plan to air-layer it around the slight change of direction at about half-distance from the first branch... Late May to mid-June is the best time slot here, though it can be done later.

Very nice, how is your tiny leafed Aureum doing this year? Still freakishly but wonderfully dwarved?
