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.

Suggested Spacing:Ā At least 25 feet for space between trees

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! š Beth Steele | WBG
This tree came very well packaged and healthy. I canāt wait to see it grow and flourish. People say they donāt 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 š
