Commonly Asked Questions
Will the foliage on Acer Palmatum Bloodgood change colour during Autumn? The leaves on Bloodgood maples will change from burgundy foliage to a crimson tone for Autumn. Because the leaves of this Maple are dark, the Autumn transformation is more subtle than with a green-tone Japanese Maple. Please note that colour change can differ yearly; it will also depend on your plant's health.
Are Bloodgood maples suitable for planter pots? Yes, they grow well in pots. Choose a container with plenty of room, keeping in mind it may need upsizing in a few years. Growth is quicker in the ground, but in small gardens, courtyards, or rental properties, a potted tree can be ideal. Use quality soil, slow-release fertiliser, and water regularly, as pots dry out faster than garden beds.
Do I need to prune my Japanese Maple? There is no need to prune your Maple; sit back and enjoy the glorious natural form of your Japanese Maple. Pruning can be effective if you want to open your Maple into a specific canopy shape.
