Common nameJapanese Maple 'Bloodgood Screen'
FamilySapindaceae
TypeTREE
Botanical nameAcer palmatum 'Bloodgood Screen'

Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood Screen', also known as Japanese maple 'Bloodgood Screen', is an improved selection of the famous 'Bloodgood', chosen for its more vertical growth, naturally upright habit, and deep purple foliage from spring to autumn. With its slender form and dense foliage, it is perfect for creating a visual barrier or decorative green screen in residential gardens, backyards, or along terraces. Young, dark red leaves emerge early in spring, retain their deep purple coloration throughout the summer, then turn brilliant red in autumn, offering significant seasonal interest. Hardy down to zone 5, it prefers cool, well-drained, slightly acidic soils, and sunny, non-scorching or semi-shaded exposure. Thanks to its natural columnar form, controlled vigor, and spectacular coloration, 'Bloodgood Screen' is an ideal Japanese maple for elegant, space-saving vertical plantings.
