Dragon's Tears Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Dragon Tears'
'Dragon Tears' is a stunning ornamental tree with delicate, cascading branches that create a waterfall-like effect. This cultivar of the Japanese maple has deeply lobed, finely serrated foliage. It emerges in the spring with bright red tones that gradually darken as the season progresses. In the fall, they turn shades of brilliant red, orange, and purple, creating a spectacular display of autumn color. This compact, slow-growing cultivar reaches 6-8 feet in height with a spread of 4-6 feet, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens, patios, and courtyards. It prefers partial shade and well-draining soil, and can be grown in a container if desired. 'Dragon Tears' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a unique and eye-catching element to their landscape.
