Hardy Maple 'Ice Dragon'

Acer × pseudosieboldianum 'Ice Dragon', also known as the 'Ice Dragon' hardy maple, is a refined hybrid variety resulting from a cross between the Japanese maple and the Manchurian maple, offering an elegant form and exceptional cold tolerance down to -40 °C. Its finely cut foliage emerges in spring in orange-bronze tones, turns light green in summer, then transforms in autumn into a flamboyant display of red, orange, and gold. Its spreading, slightly weeping habit gives it a graceful appearance ideal for Asian-inspired gardens, small spaces, or as a specimen plant. Very well adapted to Quebec's climatic conditions, 'Ice Dragon' prefers cool, well-drained soils and a sunny to semi-shaded exposure. Its unique form, unparalleled hardiness, and decorative foliage make it an exceptional tree for enhancing Nordic landscapes.
