The flowers are not ornamentally significant. The rough gray bark and red branches add an interesting dimension to the landscape.

It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which can make it a great accent feature on this basis alone.

It has no significant negative characteristics. Ice Dragonâ„¢ Maple is recommended for the following landscape applications; Accent Mass Planting Hedges/Screening General Garden Use Container Planting This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. Ice Dragonâ„¢ Maple is a fine choice for the yard, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Because of its height, it is often used as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
