Acer Palmatum - Bloodgood Japanese Maple are one of the more popular variety of the red Japanese maples . They are extremely easy to care for, and their distinctive red foliage makes these trees the ultimate in outdoor decorative beauty.
The Bloodgood is ideal as a focal point or accent plant in your landscape, or as a property divider for any residential landscape. They are known for their ability to retain color throughout the seasons. This Japanese maple tree's foliage has a deep burgundy hue throughout the spring and well into the summer months that transitions to an eye-catching bright-red tone during the winter months. It’s bark is silver in color and also provides a lovely visual.
Our Japanese Maples are young, healthy plants shipped in a ABP. Bloodgoods are naturally slow growers. Their small size when young allows them to establish well and develop into beautiful, long-lived trees with proper care.
Thrives in shade to filtered sunlight. In hotter climates, avoid direct sun, as it can cause leaf scorch. Ensure consistent watering and mulch to keep the roots cool if planted in warmer climates.
Water deeply at the base of the tree to encourage healthy root growth. Water daily for first few months of planting in warmer weather.
Young trees need extra protection in winter. In-Ground Trees: Mulch the base to insulate roots. Avoid piling mulch against the trunk. Container-Grown Trees: Move pots into a garage or sheltered area to prevent root freeze. Water sparingly during dormancy.
