Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’ is probably the most popular Japanese maple in the world and for good reason! The lobed palmate leaves are highly ornamental. The attractive burgundy deciduous foliage which emerges deep purple in the spring turns an outstanding scarlet in the fall. The rough gray bark and red branches add an interesting dimension to the landscape. May also be grown as a multi-stemmed shrub.
It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location away from strong winds. 'Bloodgood' is one of the larger growing Japanese maples and forms a very nice rounded canopy at maturity. The winged seeds add extra interest. Although it can take more sun that others, it's ideal location is morning sun and afternoon shade/part shade. One of the hardiest of Japanese maples.
Deer and rabbit resistant.
Amoenum Group (red)
