‘Bloodgood’ Japanese Maple

 

 

‘Bloodgood’ Japanese Maple Trees are known for their deep, rich burgundy foliage, which holds its color throughout the growing season, offering a contrast to the usual greenery in gardens.
 

Originating from Japan, they stand out not only for their foliage but also for their beautiful upright structure. Gracefully spreading branches create an appealing silhouette that enhances any landscape. In the fall, their leaves turn scarlet, creating quite a display before shedding for the winter.
 

These trees are relatively easy to care for, making them an excellent choice for both new and experienced gardeners. They prefer well-drained soil and full to partial shade in East Texas. They can be grown in full sun in northern states, but our summer heat is not kind to them. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, helps maintain their health and vibrant color.
 

Reaching heights of 15-20 feet makes them suitable for a variety of garden sizes. They can be used as stunning focal points, accent trees, or even bonsai specimens. Add a touch of elegance to your garden by planting this versatile, shade loving tree.
