Bloodgood Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' Deservedly one of the most popular of Japanese maples. This robust, low-growing, dense tree has large, multi-lobed, deep-red leaves that in early spring mature to a dark purple. Scarlet winged seeds are another spring bonus. Bloodgood retains its namesake color well, even during the heat of summer, and turns crimson in the Autumn. *Deer Resistant* Photo courtesy of Toms Creek Nursery in Denton, NC (336) 857-2131 Ornamental Characteristics Category Ornamental Tree Foliage Type Deciduous Height 15' - 20' Spread 15' - 20' Shape Upright, rounded globe Primary Foliage Color Red Seasonal Foliage Color Purplish-red (Spring) to crimson red (Fall) Flowering Season Spring Flower Color Purple or red Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Slow Sun Preferences Sun or partial shade Water Preferences Average: ensure planting area provides adequate drainage Cold Hardiness Zone 5  to 8
