Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' (Japanese Maple)

Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’
(Japanese Maple)

‘Bloodgood’ is a classic Japanese Maple valued for its deep burgundy, star-shaped foliage and naturally rounded form. The leaves hold their rich color through summer before turning bright scarlet in fall. After the foliage drops, silvery-grey bark and crimson stems continue to provide winter interest.

This vigorous, multi-stemmed tree works well as a specimen, patio focal point, or small shade tree. It performs best with afternoon shade and cool, protected roots.
