Vibrant, Showy Color All Season Long
Who doesn't love vibrant, showy color all season long? The red Dragon Japanese maple tree offers show-stopping color and lush texture for a look that is both dramatic and refined. Early in the season, your Red Dragon Japanese Maple tree will burst on the scene with vibrant Ruby red foliage; as the season progresses, this stunning cultivar's leaves mellow into a rich burgundy hue. As fall arrives, your Red Dragon Japanese Maple will liven up again as its muted burgundy leaves transform into a fiery red pop of color.

Beautiful Split-Leaves Add Texture and Interest
In addition to vibrant, showy color, your Red Dragon Japanese Maple boasts dense split-leaf foliage for added texture and interest in any garden. Whether you use your Red Dragon Japanese Maple as a focal point or a rich background for other cultivars, this versatile tree is sure to impress.

Full, Mounded Shape is Perfect For Filling-in Larger Spaces
A full, mounding shape makes the Red Dragon Japanese Maple the perfect option for filling in larger spaces. As the tree matures, minimal pruning will keep it from growing too tall so you can enjoy this shape with weeping branches. Visually dense, this tree makes gardening economical and enjoyable.

Drought- and Sun-Tolerant
Unlike other ornamental trees, Red Dragon Japanese Maple trees are easy to grow and maintain thanks in part to their tolerance of drought and full-sun exposure. As the climate becomes less and less predictable, this means your Red Dragon Japanese Maple tree will stand up to varied conditions throughout the year. Though if you live in a hotter climate, your tree will love some afternoon shade.

Great in Containers
