Acer palmatum 'Red Dragon' Dwarf Japanese Maple

'Red Dragon' will stay more red during summer than most varieties.  The coarse leaves begin the spring dark purple and become more red as temperatures increase.  By mid August in Georgia when summer temperatures reach their peak and most other red varieties have turned green 'Red Dragon' still has some bronze or slight bits of red left on it's leaves. Fall color is a dramatic crimson red. The growth habit of  'Red Dragon' is not as pendulous as other weeping cultivars, at times almost prostrate.  While 'Red Dragon' will tolerate full sun in some climates, it would prefer a break from the sun at some point during the day in hotter areas. Although 'Red Dragon is reported to be a moderate grower in some climates, we find it to be very slow in the south.

Beautiful trees

I ordered 3 XL 1 gallon trees and they were all larger than I expected, and already had great branching and structure. I also ordered a 1 gallon dissectum that was nice and full. Great experience.

beautiful tree

My Red Dragon Maple arrived very quickly. It was perfectly packaged and arrived in excellent condition. No leaves were wilted or damaged. I removed the tree from the packaging and it was as if it had just come from the local nursery downtown. I was impressed with the shape and quality of the tree. Thanks for sending a tree that will be enjoyed for many years.

Nice little tree

Arrived healthy and securely packaged. I’m not sure it’s liking the the location I planted it in, the leaves are starting to brown and we have had plenty of rain lately
