Japanese Maple - Bloodgood

The Bloodgood Japanese Maple, Acer p. 'Bloodgood', has a round shape and looks best when the canopy is allowed to branch to the ground. Reaching only 20 feet, it is nicely suited for a residential area. Since its leaves stay red for most of the summer, Bloodgood is one of the most popular accent trees. However, the fall color is reddish and less striking than other Japanese maples. Thinning the lower foliage branches will help show off the attractive bark and gray muscular-looking trunk structure. Thriving in partial shade and moist soil, it can be used as a border, near a patio, in a container, or as a bonsai. . ... additional information
