At St. John's in the Wilderness, a historic garden near the nursery, a mature specimen of Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' is highlighted. This classic red Japanese maple, known for its vibrant red spring and fall colors, has been a staple in American gardens for years. The video emphasizes the tree's impressive stature and consistent color throughout the seasons, noting that true 'Bloodgood' maples are grafted cultivars, not seedlings. The name 'Bloodgood' comes from the nursery where it was introduced, not the tree's color. The video also touches on the history and significance of the 'Bloodgood' maple, its common misidentifications, and its impact in garden landscapes.
