About this tree

Bloodgood Japanese Maple brings refined structure and year-round interest to your landscape, maturing to about 15 to 25 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide with a graceful, layered form. Its slow growth makes it easy to manage, while drought tolerance, cold hardiness in USDA zones 5 to 8, shade tolerance, and deer resistance keep maintenance low. Expect subtle spring blooms and standout fall color. Plant it as a front-yard specimen, a courtyard focal point, or a serene anchor near a patio.

Full planting & care

Planting+

Choose a spot with partial sun or partial shade and loamy, well drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, set the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground, backfill, and water in well. Space about 15 ft. from other plants.

Watering+

Keep the soil consistently moist, especially through the first two seasons; water deeply 2–3 times a week in summer heat.

Fertilizing+

Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. A second light feeding in early summer supports vigorous growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season.

Pruning+

Prune in late winter while dormant to remove any dead or crossing branches and to shape. Minimal pruning is needed otherwise.
