Japanese Maple 'Bloodgood'

A sculpture that grows.

Deep red leaves from spring to fall, then a final flare before they drop. Slow-growing, so the tree you plant is the tree you live with for a while.

Care

Morning sun, afternoon shade, and shelter from hot wind. It hates being a hero in full Southern sun.

Why we stock it: The one tree that makes a small yard look like it hired a designer.
