Dormant Japanese Maple Tree Seedling - Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'

Description: Template By Froo! Japanese Maple Tree Seedling - Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' - 4 to 6 inches Japanese Maple ‘Bloodgood’ Botanical Name: Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’ This listing is for one (1) Japanese Maple tree seedling that ranges in size between 4 and 6 inches in height. These are currently dormant, which means they will arrive without leaves. This is natural this time of year. The tree you will receive will be between these ranges of size as there will be slight differences from the photos in the listing as no two plants are the same. They will be guaranteed vibrant and healthy and ready for transplanting. We do not ship with the pot as the pot allows for too much soil moisture evaporation. It will be securely adhered to the package wall for the safest shipping method possible. PLEASE BE ADVISED: From October to March, we ship these plants in their dormant state. This means they will have no leaves. The stem will be strewn with buds for this coming spring's growth. If you live in a southern state, these will push new growth upon planting them as dormancy is dependent on hours of daylight and temperature. We are located in New York State and temperatures can differ drastically around the country. Please contact us with any questions on dormancy. We do send dormant planting instructions with every order.

Fun Fact: Trees naturally self-prune foliage that does not receive enough sunlight. History: Japanese Maples come from Japan. They are native to Southeast Asian countries. There are few plants that present such a beautiful display of life than that of the Japanese Maple. From the coloration of spring growth to the gentle summer foliage and then the autumn colors. Winter offers a sense of majesty with the soft red and greys of the bark. They have been grown for centuries in Asia and made their way to the United States at the end of the 19th century. Since then, they have enjoyed the admiration of almost everyone that has come across them. Our nursery has grown these beauties since the '70s. We know a thing or two about them. We currently grow 10 different cultivars, though the 'Bloodgood' is by far the best old-time variety. It has a true red color with wonderful fall colors of orange and pinks. Growth: These plants will max out at about 18 to 20 feet. That will take about 20 years to accomplish. They are wonderful additions to any garden or property, adding value wherever they are planted. They are not needy plants. A once-a-year fertilization will do the trick to maintain solid growth. If planted in an open location, winter protection is a must. They do not like anything below a zone 5 growth area. General Notes: Attractive to pollinators and songbirds. Numerous cultivars of Japanese Maple are popular in Europe and North America. Red leaf cultivars are favored, followed by cascading green shrubs with deeply dissected leaves. We grow everything organically with a beneficial insect program. We do not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides or fungicides. We use a preventive program for pests with the use of Ladybugs, Green Lacewings, Praying Mantis, and Predatory Mites to battle soft bodied bugs and Nematodes in the soil to combat any soil dwelling pests. Our dedication to safe and harmless plants is seen throughout all our products. We are all stewards to Planet Earth, and we must protect it. Soil pH level guide: Acid to Neutral to Alkaline. Acidic soil has a pH of 1 to 6.5. Neutral soil has a pH of 6.6 to 7.3. Alkaline soil has a pH of 7.4 to 14.

Their roots need air, and their soil watered. Do not subject the plant to direct light, allow a 12 to 24 hours adjustment period. Transplant shock is a real thing.
