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 |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Upright, rounded |
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.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
