Red Dragon Japanese Maple - Acer palmatum dissectum &

Acer palmatum dissectum 'Red Dragon'

Red Dragon holds its crimson-red colour through summer heat better than nearly any other laceleaf Japanese maple, the colour that starts brilliant in spring stays rich and saturated rather than fading to bronze-green as temperatures rise.

Extremely finely cut leaves maintain bright crimson-red colour well through the summer
Dense, mounding habit with dramatically cascading branches creates a natural weeping specimen
Turns scarlet in fall before dropping
Compact enough for small gardens, containers, or planting near water features

Growing & Maintenance Tips

Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or light afternoon shade.
