Acer palmatum dissectum 'Red Dragon'

Dragon Japanese Maple is a weeping laceleaf maple known for its deep red foliage that holds color well even in warmer conditions. Its cascading branches create a soft, layered form, making it ideal for focal plantings, patios, and refined landscape designs. More heat-tolerant than many laceleaf varieties, it performs reliably in a range of environments.

Why Japanese Maples Stand Out

Unique Forms From upright trees to cascading weeping varieties, each adds structure and movement.
Perfect Focal Trees Ideal for entryways, patios, and front yards where a single tree needs to stand out.
