Action and Timing
An excellent old favourite and the standard by which every red-leaved form should be measured, the black-red foliage does not bronze out like some reds and the autumn colour is bright crimson with a delicate translucence that is magical on a sunny day. The fruits are bright red and highly prominent, creating a wonderful contrast with the typically palmate foliage. Bloodgood is upright in habit with a mature potential of 18ft preferring a sunny position for best effect.
Nursery Notes
Grafted plant.
Opinion
Good reliable old standard that set the benchmark for purple palmate maples.
