The Bloodgood Japanese Maple is a popular decorative tree recognized for its rich, deep reddish-purple foliage that becomes bright crimson in the autumn. It's a modest tree with a mature height of 15-20 feet and a comparable spread, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a focal point in larger landscapes. The Bloodgood Maple is also recognized for its handsome, grey-toned bark and muscular-looking trunks, which stand out at night when illuminated.
