Acer palmatum dissectum 'Red Dragon' (Red Dragon Weeping Japanese Maple)

Graceful weeping form
Deep, dark red foliage
Compact, cascading branching
Foliage is fine-textured and stunning
Holds its color all summer long
Slightly more open form is great for a leisurely landscape
Showy crimson fall foliage

Beautiful and compact, cascading branching make this Maple a perfect choice for the landscape, along with stunning, fine textured deep, dark red foliage that holds its stunning color all summer long, even in bright sun. While all Threadleaf Japanese Maples are beautiful, 'Red Dragon' distinguishes itself with a slightly more open form that fits in well with a less formal, more leisurely landscape. As fall approaches, this great specimen becomes even showier with foliage morphing to a brilliant crimson shade before falling off.
