Red Dragon Japanese Maple

A striking ornamental tree with deeply dissected, crimson-red foliage that intensifies in color throughout the growing season. Red Dragon Japanese Maple reaches 6–8 feet at maturity, making it ideal for specimen planting, containers, or focal points in garden beds. This cultivar thrives in partial shade with well-draining soil and moderate moisture. Its delicate, fern-like leaves provide year-round visual interest, transitioning to brilliant scarlet in autumn before dropping. The graceful, weeping branching habit creates an elegant silhouette. Perfect for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, slow-growing accent tree that adds Japanese garden charm to any landscape. Hardy in zones 5–8.
