Bloodgood Japanese Maple Tree

Bloodgood Japanese Maple Tree (Acer palmatum) – Stunning Red Foliage for Every Season

The Bloodgood Japanese Maple Tree is one of the most sought-after red Japanese maples, known for its vibrant, deep burgundy foliage that holds color throughout the spring and summer. As the seasons shift, the leaves transition to a brilliant bright-red in fall and winter, making this tree a year-round showstopper. Its elegant silver bark adds winter interest and enhances its decorative appeal.

Ideal for landscaping, bonsai, or container growing, the Bloodgood Japanese Maple is perfect as a focal point, property divider, or accent tree in any residential garden. This variety thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5–8, grows slowly to a mature height of 10–15 feet with a 35-foot spread, and requires minimal maintenance. It adapts well to a wide range of soil types and grows best in full sun to partial shade.

This Bloodgood Japanese Maple ships in ABP (Advanced Banded Pots) — 3"x3"x6" growing containers designed to promote strong, healthy root development without becoming root-bound. These taller pots provide ample space for young trees to establish quickly.
