Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood', commonly known as Bloodgood Japanese Maple, is a stunning ornamental tree that has been a favorite in gardens for over 50 years. Known for its striking deep red-purple foliage, this fast-growing maple adds vibrant color and elegance to any landscape. Reaching approximately 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide within 10 years, 'Bloodgood' forms a beautiful, upright canopy that provides year-round interest. Its large, deeply lobed leaves hold their rich red color well into late summer, and in the fall, they turn a brilliant crimson, creating a spectacular display of color. The tree also produces prominent bright red fruits that add to its ornamental appeal. This Japanese Maple thrives in full sun to partial shade, with its best color achieved in full sun. It prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil and is well-suited to USDA hardiness zones 5-9. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, to keep the foliage vibrant and healthy. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and protect the roots. 'Bloodgood' is an excellent choice for planting near your home or as a focal point in the garden. Its moderate size and stunning foliage make it a versatile addition to a variety of landscape settings, from traditional to contemporary designs.
