Rare Heat Tolerant - Red Fall Color

Fire Dragon Shantung Maple

PP# 17,367

Zones 5-9

Shantung maples are prized for their hardiness and fast growth. 'Fire Dragon’ is an amazing selection from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas that brings an amazing fall fiery red color to those in high heat areas. In the early spring gold blossoms add a nice spring interest before green leaves with bronze highlights fill the tree. As the name suggests the fall color on ‘Fire Dragon’ is to die for, with bright fiery red leaves sometimes highlighted in yellow to orange. ‘Fire Dragon’ may reach 25-30 ft in 15 years. ‘Fire Dragon’ was found, introduced, and patented by our good friend, Keith Johannson. 

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
