Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' ~ Japanese Maple 'Bloodgood'
Bloodgood Japanese Maple is a small slender deciduous tree with an airy rounded crown and interesting red-black bark. The large, deeply palmated dark purple-red foliage turns brilliant scarlet in fall. Small non-showy but attractive umbels of purplish-red flowers bloom in spring followed by red samaras. Grows best in rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Prefers full sun in cooler climates, but needs afternoon shade in southern areas. One of the hardiest of Japanese maples, with good sun tolerance in the South.
