Acer palmatum ‘Dragon King’
Red Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

Introducing Acer palmatum ‘Dragon King’ – a majestic cultivar that will bring a touch of enchantment to any garden. This hardy, compact deciduous tree boasts a graceful weeping habit, reaching a height of approximately 3 ft by 5 ft in width in 10 years. One of its most captivating features is its ability to retain its vibrant leaf color throughout the seasons. In spring, the deeply lobed foliage emerges in a stunning shade of scarlet-red, captivating the eye. As summer unfolds, the leaves transform from a deep burgundy-red hue to an emerald green, providing a striking contrast in the seasons. In autumn, ‘Dragon King’ takes center stage, as its foliage turns a fiery and captivating shade of dark red, resembling the flickering flames of a dragon’s breath. ‘Dragon King’ was originally code-named “HO-43” from Harry Olsen’s experimental plants and was named ‘Dragon King’ by us at MrMaple. Experience the allure and mystique of ‘Dragon King’ as it adds a dramatic touch to your landscape.
