Bloodgood Maple 18lt

Spectacular deep burgundy foliage and brilliant red autumn colour!

Bloodgood Japanese Maple is a stunning deciduous ornamental tree, admired for its rich burgundy-red foliage, graceful branching structure and beautiful seasonal colour.

In spring, its attractive, deeply lobed leaves emerge in vibrant shades of crimson red, creating a spectacular display.

Throughout summer, the foliage develops rich burgundy and reddish-purple tones, providing wonderful contrast against green-leaved plants.

As autumn arrives, the leaves transform into brilliant shades of scarlet and crimson before falling, revealing the tree's elegant branching structure during winter.

With its naturally rounded canopy and graceful growth habit, Bloodgood Japanese Maple makes an excellent feature tree for Japanese-style gardens, sheltered courtyards and landscaped areas.
