Japanses Maples are easy to grow in a sunny spot with space to spread out. A little dappled shade in the afternoon is a good idea in warmer states as the leaves can be stressed in the hottest months of the year.
Dragon Tear Japanese Maple is an upright dwarf Japanese Maple that has weeping horizontal branching. Its start our red in spring, matures to a deep maroon color by summer and becomes bright orange and red in fall. They are easy to grow and reach a mature height of 8 feet tall and wide at maturity. In planting zones 8 and 9 a little afternoon shade is recommended.
Our Japanese Maples are sold in 2 or 3 gallon pots. They are larger and more mature than a typical one gallon specimen. Since all Japanese Maples are generally slow growing, it is advised to choose a more mature plant when installing into your landscape. If you would like a current photo of any specimen, please send us an email.
