Bloodgood Red Japanese Maple
The Bloodgood cultivar of the Japanese Maple (acer palmatum atropurpureum) is an attractive tree, known for its color, personality and hardiness.
The purplish to red leaf color of this cultivar shades to green in late summer and bright red for fall color. Decideous - its well branched form is very attractive on its own - throw a light behind the tree for a dramatic display.
Keep outdoors - but does well in a pot. It can get to 15 or 20 feet, so be careful with placement - in a pot, keep it trimmed. Check for roots growing out of the pot's drain hole and trim same.
Plant care is straightforward.We suggest partial shade and moist soil, especially for a potted Bloodgood - keep the heat off the side of that pot. The tree's leaves will actually scorch if they get too much sun. Hardy down to 20 degrees F, but we suggest bringing any potted trees indoors when the weather turns nasty.
