japanese maple bloodgood
Acer Palmatum ‘Bloodgood’
Bloodgood has burgundy red leaves which turn brilliant scarlet in fall. This is a hardy Japanese Maple and has good sun tolerance. This is well suited for a highly visible area and looks great amongst grasses.
It will look stunning in an Asian style garden setting with stones around it.
Height: 15′ – 20′.
Width: 10′ – 15′
Exposure: Morning sun to part shade. Can take full sun better than most Japanese maples.
Fall Color: Red-crimson.
Water: Water regularly in rich well drained soil. Use mulch for moisture retention. Do not let them dry out especially while the tree is being established.
Fertilizer: Use a slow release fertilizer. Be careful not to over-fertilize resulting in burned-out shriveled leaves.
Pruning: Prune lightly to shape, removing crossed and rubbing branches. Excessive pruning, especially in the summer heat, can damage the branches.
