Acer Palmatum 'Bloodgood' (Bloodgood Japanese Maple) is a highly sought-after deciduous tree, admired for its striking deep red foliage and elegant, spreading form. Its finely lobed leaves emerge in a rich burgundy in spring, retaining their intense colour throughout summer before transforming into brilliant crimson in autumn. With its year-round visual appeal, this Japanese Maple makes a superb feature tree for gardens, courtyards, and Japanese-inspired landscapes.
Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Acer Palmatum 'Bloodgood' prefers well-drained, moist soil and a sheltered position to protect its delicate foliage from harsh winds and afternoon sun. Its slow-growing nature and compact size make it an excellent choice for small gardens, containers, or understorey plantings.
