Care & tips for the Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' - 70cm

The Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' is a lovely outdoor plant that needs very little care. This Japanese maple likes a good spot in the garden. It handles cold down to around -15°C, but in a long, hard frost it's better to protect it, especially while it's young or standing in a pot. Pruning is best done after winter, to keep its shape neat and take out any dead branches.
