Acer palmatum 'Red Dragon' is a Weeping Dwarf Japanese Maple with Brilliant Red Color

Acer palmatum 'Red Dragon' is a dwarf Japanese maple that is extremely popular for its brilliant red color. 'Red Dragon' will stay more red during summer than most varieties. The coarse leaves begin the spring dark red and become more red as temperatures increase. As summer temperatures reach their peak and most other red varieties have turned green 'Red Dragon' still has a good bit 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 it grows almost prostrate. 'Red Dragon' also stays a little smaller than other dwarf Japanese maples. 'Red Dragon' will max out around 6 feet tall but will only get 4 feet tall in many instances. 'Red Dragon' will get about as wide if not wider than it is tall growing to roughly 6 feet wide.

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 slower than average in the south. 'Red Dragon' will grow well in zones 5 through 9.

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
