Platanus x acerifolia 'Bloodgood'

Choose Bloodgood London Planetree when you need a tough, fast shade tree for a big open area, especially near pavement. The tradeoff is scale: it is not a front-walk, patio, or small-yard tree.

Buy This If

You need shade sooner.
You have a large open site.
You want bark interest in winter.

Skip This If

Cleanup near patios bothers you.
Space is tight overhead.
Deer protection is not practical.

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A	It gives strong shade and mottled bark, but only where its size fits.
Growth Rate	A	It is one of the quicker ways to build canopy in a large open planting.
Maintenance	B-	Leaf, twig, and bark drop are real cleanup factors around walks and patios.
Deer Resistance	B+	Deer tend to leave this tree alone, though young plants can be browsed or rubbed where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit	F	Its broad canopy and root system make it a poor fit near houses, wires, and narrow yards.
Screening Value	C	It casts shade well, but the high canopy is not useful for privacy screening.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Bloodgood only when the planting space is genuinely large and the customer wants shade more than a tidy patio tree.

Customers Usually Ask

Will it fit near the house?

Usually no; plant it only where the mature canopy and roots have generous room.

Is Bloodgood better than a regular London planetree?

Yes if anthracnose resistance matters; that is the main reason to choose this cultivar.

Is it messy?

Somewhat; expect leaves plus peeling bark and small twigs, especially after weather.

Why buy a shade tree in the fall

Warm soil, cool air — roots establish before winter
Delivered large on our own trucks, not shipped bare root
Real shade in years, not decades

Locally grown for New England conditions

Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
