Bloodgood Japanese Maple is widely considered one of the finest feature trees you can plant in a home landscape, and it earns that reputation season after season. Its deeply lobed, palm-shaped foliage emerges deep purple in spring and holds a rich burgundy color throughout the entire growing season, a trait that sets it apart from many other purple-leaved trees that fade in summer heat. In mid spring, subtle clusters of small red flowers emerge just above the foliage for an added seasonal touch. Come fall, the canopy transforms to a brilliant scarlet before the leaves drop, revealing attractive rough gray bark and red branches that give the tree winter interest as well. Its naturally artistic, spreading rounded habit makes it a standout specimen for front yards, entryways, or any prominent spot in your garden.
