What Is a Bloodgood Japanese Maple?
A Bloodgood Japanese maple is a Japanese maple cultivar which has deep red, almost purple leaves which turn bright red in the fall. This maple cultivar can electrify the fall landscape with its almost neon red foliage before the leaves die off and drop from the tree. A number of Japanese maples produce red leaves, but the Bloodgood is one of the most striking red Japanese maple cultivars, and as a result, one of the most popular. Some other red maple cultivars include the Crimson Queen, Ever Red, Atropurpureum, Nomura Nishiki, Tamukeyama, and Red Filigree Lace.
