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.
| 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. |
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.

|---|---|
| Mature Width | 70 ft |

Usually no; plant it only where the mature canopy and roots have generous room.
Yes if anthracnose resistance matters; that is the main reason to choose this cultivar.
Somewhat; expect leaves plus peeling bark and small twigs, especially after weather.

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.
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!
