Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'

Buy This If
- You want upright red foliage.
- You can give it protected space.
- You prefer a known Japanese maple.
Skip This If
- You need a narrow tree.
- Your site dries out fast.
- Deer browse young trees heavily.
PGNE Report Card
| 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. |
Our Experience
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.

Customers Usually Ask
Will the leaves stay red all summer?
They usually hold red well, but heat, drought, and harsh exposure can shift the color darker or greener.
Can I plant it near the house?
Yes, if you leave enough room for the canopy and avoid crowding it under overhangs.
Does it need pruning?
Only light cleanup and selective shaping; heavy pruning can ruin the natural form.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
Our Japanese maples are selected for cold hardiness and structure. We focus on varieties that perform in New England, not just look good in a catalog.
