Originally grown in a #5 container and shipped carefully wrapped for moisture retention, this collectible ornamental maple develops gently flowing branches that create an elegant sculptural appearance perfect for patios, containers, entryways, Japanese gardens, and collector landscapes. In spring, deeply cut foliage emerges in vibrant scarlet-red tones before maturing into rich burgundy shades and eventually soft emerald-green hues during summer. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms again into a fiery dark red display that truly lives up to its legendary name. Compact, elegant, and highly ornamental, ‘Dragon King’ is an unforgettable focal point for smaller garden spaces and specialty maple collections. You will receive a healthy live tree similar in size and condition to the one shown in the listing photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003eYou will receive:\u003cbr data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003e✔️ 1 live Acer palmatum ‘Dragon King’ tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1288\"\u003e✔️ Height: approximately 20–30 inches tall\u003cbr data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003e✔️ Originally grown in #5 container\u003cbr data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1373\"\u003e✔️ Shipped wrapped in plastic for moisture retention\u003cbr data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1429\"\u003e✔️ Does not ship with container\u003cbr data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1464\"\u003e✔️ Healthy, rooted ornamental maple\u003cbr data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1503\"\u003e✔️ Secure packaging for safe arrival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"2212\"\u003e🌼 Growing Information\u003cbr data-start=\"1567\" data-end=\"1571\"\u003eCommon Name: Dragon King Japanese Maple\u003cbr data-start=\"1610\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003eBotanical Name: Acer palmatum ‘Dragon King’\u003cbr data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1661\"\u003ePlant Type: Deciduous ornamental tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003eGrowth Stage: Young grafted tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"1738\"\u003eSun Requirements: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1785\"\u003eSoil: Well-draining slightly acidic soil\u003cbr data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"1829\"\u003eWatering: Moderate; keep soil evenly moist during establishment\u003cbr data-start=\"1892\" data-end=\"1896\"\u003eMature Height: Approximately 3 feet in 10 years\u003cbr data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"1947\"\u003eMature Width: Approximately 5 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"1981\" data-end=\"1985\"\u003eGrowth Rate: Slow to moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"2014\" data-end=\"2018\"\u003eUSDA Zones: 5–9\u003cbr data-start=\"2033\" data-end=\"2037\"\u003eSpring Color: Scarlet red\u003cbr data-start=\"2062\" data-end=\"2066\"\u003eSummer Color: Burgundy to emerald green\u003cbr data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2109\"\u003eFall Color: Fiery dark red\u003cbr data-start=\"2135\" data-end=\"2139\"\u003eContainer Friendly: Yes, excellent for patios and decorative containers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2216\" data-end=\"2417\"\u003e💡 Care Tip: Provide some afternoon shade in hotter climates to protect delicate foliage and preserve vibrant seasonal color.
