Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'
Choose Bloodgood Japanese Maple if you want a red-leaf ornamental with an upright shape and proven name recognition; the tradeoff is that hot, exposed sites can dull or stress the foliage.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | Its dark red foliage and upright form make it a clear focal point without needing flowers. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows steadily, but this is not the tree to buy if you need quick size. |
| Maintenance | B | It needs thoughtful placement, watering during dry spells, and light pruning rather than constant shaping. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It fits many residential beds, but it still needs room to spread naturally. |
| Screening Value | D | This is an ornamental tree, not a privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Bloodgood for protected front-yard or patio-area plantings where foliage color matters more than screening or fast growth.
| Mature Height | 17.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 13.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-8a |
| Spacing | 13.5 ft |

They usually hold red well, but heat, drought, and harsh exposure can shift the color darker or greener.
Yes, if you leave enough room for the canopy and avoid crowding it under overhangs.
Only light cleanup and selective shaping; heavy pruning can ruin the natural form.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
