Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' Red Japanese Maple Tree
Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'
Red Bloodgood Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
The ‘Bloodgood’ Japanese maple is a classic upright red. This is the Japanese maple that made Japanese maples famous in America. Oddly enough the name 'Bloodgood' came from the family name of the owners of Bloodgood Nursery in New York and had nothing to do with its red color. Fortunately, the name fit this lovely red Japanese maple. 'Bloodgood' is extremely beautiful. This tree leafs out in the spring with bright red leaves which develop to deep maroon red. This red color provides dynamic contrast in the garden throughout the spring, summer and especially in the autumn. The fall color intensifies brighter in the fall often displaying shades of oranges and reds which will grab anyone's attention and make your yard look spectacular.
‘Bloodgood’ grows upright in habit to around 20-25 ft in thirty years. A very hardy and vigorous grower, ‘Bloodgood’ does well in sun or filtered light. This is an excellent cultivar that forms a mid-sized tree. While this is typically the first Japanese maple tree for most people, it has also become a necessity in every garden and maple collection due to its amazing red color.
Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
My emperor one died .so I'm looking for something else. But the bloodgood in a pot and my corol bark are good.
Healthy perfection! I could not have picked a better specimen plant if browsing in a nursery. Thank you for taking so much caution in shipping.
Came delivered with a second tree in the box, well packaged and healthy. Starting to leaf out new leaves.
While I have many old school cultivars I still admire and appreciate the newer selections as well. Ordered one day and received the trees the following days- from South Carolina to western Kentucky. Large healthy plants well packed.
Although it’s a fairly common cultivar I highly recommend it for your garden. Tough as nails!!
Came well packaged and shipped in good condition. Got here quicker than expected. It’s a beautiful tree. I’ve made several purchases from Mr Maple through the years and never been disappointed.
