Red Dragon Japanese Maple
Fleur & Co
The Red Dragon is a compact, slow-growing variety of Japanese maple with deeply cut, feathery, and fern-like leaves that make it look more like a shrub than an ordinary tree. It starts out with bright red leaves in the spring that become darker over the summer and turn scarlet in the fall. Its low height, weeping branches, and spreading habit make it look more like a shrub than a tree. After the tree has dropped its leaves, it is still an eye-catcher with its twisted trunk that becomes gnarlier as the tree matures.
