Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'
Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’, also known as Japanese maple 'Bloodgood', is an iconic dark purple-leaved variety, highly valued for its elegantly rounded and spreading shape, its relative cold hardiness, and especially for its intense seasonal coloration. Its deep purple foliage in spring and summer turns a luminous bright red in autumn, creating a remarkable visual impact in gardens. It can reach 5 to 7 m in height and 3 to 6 m in width in favorable conditions in Quebec, thus forming a strong and structured presence. This cultivar requires cool, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and a semi-shaded or soft sun exposure, especially sheltered from the wind. With its graceful shape, airy habit, and vibrant color palette, the 'Bloodgood' maple remains a must-have for elegant landscaping in temperate climates.
