Acer palmatum 'Dragon Master' 

Rare Golden Weeping Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

AREA 51 COLLECTION™ PLANTS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD

'Dragon Master' is one of the first of its kind. 'Dragon Master' has the colors of the ever popular "Orange Dream", but the weeping habit of 'Ryusen'.  'Dragon Master' leafs out in the spring as an orange quickly turning to a yellow. In full shade, 'Dragon Master' will be a chartreuse green. Give 'Dragon Master' some sunlight to get more golden yellow color on the weeping foliage. Protection from the hot afternoon sun is recommended for best colors and growth. 'Dragon Master' turns to an orange-red in autumn.

'Dragon Master' is a vigorous growing weeping Japanese maple. Like 'Ryusen' it will get as tall as you stake it. We recommend staking 'Dragon Master' to 4 to 6 ft for best shape. If not staked, 'Dragon Master' will make a unique ground cover. 'Dragon Master' is the first of 6-weeping golden Ryusen-types that we are able to make available. The one gallons available are young one gallons. The tree pictured is a 7 gallon, to show the shape and color of this unique tree. In 10 years, 'Dragon Master' can grow to about 2-3 ft by 4 to 6 ft wide. 

'Dragon Master' will only be available in a limited quantity on MrMaple.com in 1 gallons. These 1 gallons are 2 year grafts.

The fourth photo is a 7 gallon 'Dragon Master' and is used to show the shape and weeping habit of this selection.

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.
