Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Red Dragon’

Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Red Dragon’

Japanese Maple - Cutleaf - Red Dragon

A true classic of a weeping Japanese Maple! New red spring leaves turn a strong purplish-red which holds through summer before changing to a vivid red in the fall. Compared to other weeping red Japanese Maples, ‘Red Dragon’ would be the reddest of them all. Stake to desired size.
