The Bloodgood Japanese Maple is a deciduous tree with a rounded crown known for its stunning, deep red-purple 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.
