Japanese Red Maple 'Bloodgood' 5 Inch Pot Pre-Bonsai Tree (Grafted)

Special Notes about Japanese Red Maples:
All of our Japanese Red Maples have been grafted for a more robust tree altogether. We use a Japanese Green Maple rootstock to encourage the overall Maple bonsai tree to be more disease resistant and have a longer lifespan. If you receive one and you notice green leaves close to the base of the trunk, please remove them to redirect the tree’s growth hormones to flow to the top of the tree. This will stimulate the tree to produce more of the red leaves that you desire within several weeks during the spring and summer months.

Japanese Maples are a traditional favorite for bonsai lovers all over the world. With their dynamic visual differences every season, it's always something new to look at with maples. Especially their famous colorful transitions as they shed their soft foliage during the fall months. They do that to get ready to hibernate for the winter since all maples are deciduous trees.

'Bloodgood' is probably within the top five of the most beloved varieties of Japanese Red Maples for bonsai and landscaping lovers. They develop burgundy-red leaves in spring that turn to deep burgundy purple-red in summer. Finally the foliage transitions into a flaming bright red color in fall before they drop their leaves for winter hibernation. During the winter, they have an interesting red-black bark that provides striking visual interest even when it has barren branches. This tree provides entertainment for the eyes all year round!

'Bloodgood' is a hardier variety of maple as it better tolerates hotter climates more than your average maple bonsai tree. However, due to its soft thin leaves and small size to be enjoyed as bonsai, please be cautious and provide some shade to avoid any leaf burn throughout the year. When maples are kept small, they are much more sensitive to their environments than their large yard tree counterparts.

Note that all pre-bonsai trees will come in a plastic nursery growing pot.

For Deciduous Trees:
Please note that during the mid to late fall months, deciduous trees will lose all of their leaves/foliage to go into dormancy for winter. They will have barren branches and will be extra sensitive to shipping stress during mid-fall and all of winter. If we try to ship them during this dormancy time, it is considered extremely high risk. We reserve the right to refuse to take orders for these trees during their dormancy period from around October to February.
