The perfect small tree for colorful foliage and sculptural form, Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’ is a standout Japanese Maple. In spring the delicate lobed leaves emerge a deep burgundy, and then hold their color all summer. In fall you will be rewarded with crimson-red foliage color before leaves drop for the winter. ‘Bloodgood’ produces tiny purple flowers in spring followed by red fruits. The bark is a dark blackish red, providing interesting contrast in the landscape year-round. Plants are vigorous growers and mature to an upright sculptural form on the landscape. Their compact size allows them to fit in even smaller gardens and landscapes, or even grown as a large container specimen. Plant a single specimen as a focal point, or group 3 to 5 specimens for a striking mass planting.
