Acer palmatum Bloodgood is one of the most popular and hardy varieties of Japanese maples, celebrated for its reliable and vibrant deep purplish-red foliage that lasts throughout the season. In spring, the leaves emerge with a brilliant red colour, intensifying to a deep burgundy as they mature. The tree maintains this rich hue into the autumn, providing a striking contrast against the landscape. It also features small purplish-red flowers that enhance its decorative appeal.
Bloodgood is an excellent choice for creating dramatic focal points in diverse garden settings, from modern minimalist to traditional Japanese gardens. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH. This variety is known for its excellent colour retention and resistance to sunburn, especially in cooler climates.
Acer palmatum Bloodgood reaches a mature height of about 4-6m with a spread of about 3-5m. Its robust size and vivid foliage make it a standout choice for adding structure and colour to any garden.
What is a bare-rooted tree?
Bare-rooted trees are deciduous trees that have been grown in the ground and are dug up when they've become dormant in the winter. The soil is shaken from their roots and they are bundled up with their roots packed in moist material to prevent dehydration during transport.
