Japanese Maple
Red Dragon Acer PalThe Red Dragon Japanese Maple is a small, weeping dwarf tree prized for its vibrant, long-lasting red foliage, which emerges cherry red in spring, intensifies to burgundy, and finishes in a brilliant crimson fall color. It features delicate, finely dissected, "lacy" leaves that give it an ornamental, "fountain-like" or "cascading" appearance. This slow-growing cultivar is ideal for specimen plantings, container gardens, or near water features, and thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture.
- Size: It is a dwarf variety, typically reaching a mature height and width of 8-12 feet
- Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained, and rich, loamy soil with a slightly acidic pH.
- Water: Requires consistent moisture, especially for its shallow roots, so mulching is beneficial.
- Light: Performs well in full sun but appreciates some afternoon shade in hotter climates to maintain its red color.
