Description

One of if not the most popular Japanese Maple cultivars among home gardeners and landscape architects alike, ‘Bloodgood’ is a stately specimen that begins the season with burgundy-red leaves emerging in spring that turn to deep burgundy purple in summer and finally in fall to a flaming bright red. Bloodgood will tolerate full sun however in the South will appreciate some filtered sun or shade in the afternoon. Bloodgood has an upright habit and rounded form with a moderate growth rate to 15 to 20 feet tall and wide at maturity.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, Bloodgood Japanese Maple is best used in landscape design as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, in larger landscape spaces they can be grouped or useful when positioned on both sides of an entryway to accentuate the entrance.

Suggested Spacing: At least 25 feet for space between trees

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcover plants that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Got a 1 gallon, received a very healthy large plant about 3′ tall and with nice branching. Got it to plant outside but it’s so beautiful I had a hard time not making it into a bonsai. Very well packaged and healthy,——————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

This tree came very well packaged and healthy. I can’t wait to see it grow and flourish. People say they don’t survive in Florida but I am zone 9a and we get enough cold that they do survive. I have had one for 3 years now and it is doing well so I added more to my collection. I do keep them in pots because our soul is almost all sand.—————————————I grow all my Japanese Maples in pots! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
