Description

Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' is one of the best purple-leafed Japanese Maple varieties with strong spring interest. A wonderful rich red/purple colour floods the deeply lobed leaves in spring and the colour holds well throughout summer. The foliage turns a bright crimson, or blood red in autumn, giving this Maple its name.

Planted in a slightly sheltered position and avoiding heavy, waterlogged soils, this Japanese Maple will provide vibrant colour for most of the year. Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' is an upright growing maple tree and can be expected to reach an approximate height and spread of 5 x 4 metres in 20 years.

We have this very popular Japanese Maple variety in a wide range of sizes from quality small plants, to stunning semi mature specimens.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Japanese Maples require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. If possible, use rain water instead of tap water as this is more acidic and better for foliage colour. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Their natural shape is normally the most attractive, so Japanese Maples rarely need pruning. Any pruning should be carried out with a less is more approach, only removing crossing, damaged or diseased branches. Pruning should be carried out in the dormant season (November to March) as Japanese Maples bleed during other times of the year, which can weaken the branches.
