Description

Acer x pseudosieboldianum 'Ice Dragon' is a small Hybrid Maple tree known for its elegant weeping habit and striking seasonal foliage. Typically, it grows to a height and spread of approximately 3 metres, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or as a feature plant. The finely divided leaves are highly ornate and emerge with a blushed orange-red hue in spring. They transition to lush green in summer, and finally taking on vibrant shades of yellow and red in autumn before falling.

This hardy small tree is easy to grow and thrives in a variety of well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. 'Ice Dragon' is a versatile and low-maintenance option for many garden settings.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
