A deep shade of burgundy appears in the spring and lasts throughout summer. In the cool months of autumn, a bright red takes over. Even the bark of a Bloodgood Japanese Maple catches the eye with its silver color.
Maintenance: They are partial to full sun and adaptable to various soils. Bloodgood Japanese Maples grow in zones 5-9. These beautiful trees are low maintenance and disease and pest-resistant.
