“Bloodgood” Red Japanese Maple Tree Seeds

Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’

The Bloodgood Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’) is one of the most iconic and dependable red-leaf Japanese maples ever introduced. Brought to the United States before World War II, this cultivar has remained a favorite for generations due to its exceptional color stability, compact form, and low-maintenance nature.

Bloodgood maples display deep purplish-red foliage in spring, transition to rich burgundy tones in summer, and finish the season with brilliant crimson red fall color. Even in winter, the tree provides visual interest with its graceful branching structure and silvery bark. Naturally short in stature with delicate branching, it is perfectly suited for gardens, landscapes, containers, and bonsai cultivation.

Once established, this cultivar is resilient, dependable, and long-lived.
