Deep Red-Purple Foliage with Upright Vase-Shaped Form
'Bloodgood' is a medium growing, upright deciduous broadleaf shrub or small tree that reaches 15 to 20 feet tall and spreads 15 to 20 feet wide. This classic Japanese maple features deep red-purple foliage that emerges bright red in spring, maintains its rich color throughout summer, and intensifies to brilliant crimson in fall for multi-season interest. The upright vase-shaped form creates an elegant canopy that provides dappled shade. This premium 20 gallon size provides the ultimate instant impact and the most mature presence available in the landscape. Thriving in partial shade and preferring well-drained, slightly acidic soil, Bloodgood is one of the most popular and reliable Japanese maple varieties, delivering consistent performance with minimal maintenance once established.
