Description
When I purchased this specimen from a grower 5 years ago, it was only but a twig with a few branches.
It is a Japanese maple (acer palmatum) known as the Red Dragon and originates from New Zealand. It will grow into a mound like structure some 7 to 8 feet in height and one can literally walk into and underneath its canopy when mature. The fine, lacy leaf structure will retain its bold red color into the Autumn season.
Enjoy the photo and thanks for viewing and any comments you care to leave.

Deb and I have one in our garden as well but it's only about 3 foot high. They are really great looking during summer. I fell in love with the red leaves. I like the lanterns you've got as well. Tony.
Never heard of this type of plant Until NOW lol Must be pretty in the fall.
I have always thought these were such beautiful plants. Gorgeous capture.
You need a good slayer, Keith.

Very pretty, Lovely shot with smashing colours and textures. I wonder how well this would grow in South Africa?
Japanese maples are so delicate and so beautiful. You have a lovely specimen and captured it wonderfully, Keith!
