Don't sit around waiting years and years for your tree to grow. Snag a vigorous yet majestic addition to your garden with a Bloodgood London Planetree (Platanus x acerifolia 'Bloodgood')! A full-grown specimen will rival the Emerald City itself with its copious amounts of large dark green leaves!

It's the perfect shade tree to sit under and watch the foliage rustle in the welcome afternoon breeze. The crown gowns broadly so you'll have enough room in the shade to sit with a friend!

The show doesn't stop there, just wait until you catch a glimpse of its trunk. This deciduous tree's trunk is comprised of brown bark that exfoliates to reveal creamy white inner bark. Once the clouds have moved on, try spotting objects in the irregular bark patches.

Once summer is past its prime, this tree's foliage will turn yellow before retiring for the season. Once the leaves are gone, you'll be left to enjoy the bark without any inhibitions. That's four seasons of interest throughout USDA planting zones 60 - 80 feet in height and 50 - 60 feet wide!

Landscape Application:

Outstanding trees for use in urban conditions and air pollution, the London Planetree becomes a dramatic street tree and front yard lawn specimen! Bloodgood makes a fantastic shade tree for use around your seating areas and backyard entertaining areas. When planted on the south or southwest portion of your lot, these large trees reduce your energy bills and improve the quality of your life outdoors.

Use in your backyard to bring various types of wildlife, Planetrees are notorious for their appeal to birds, pollinators, and small mammals like squirrels! If you list birdwatching as a hobby, plant this to give your favorite winged friends a cozy place to call home!

Give this tree the room it needs and situate your tree correctly. Do your future self a favor, and plant it at least 30 feet from paved concrete or your home's foundation.

Planetrees are great accent trees for use in a Rain Garden or along a water feature, growing in occasionally wet soil, this allows the massive root systems to help filter runoff before it flows into storm drains.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Give Planetrees a spot in full sun with rich well-drained soil and it'll be happy for years to come! Provide regular moisture for young trees, established trees are very self-sufficient once those large root systems take hold. Mulch is a tree's best friend, so spread 3-4 inches of arborist bark chips around the root zone. This makes a pleasing presentation, holds in soil moisture, and makes collecting dropped branches and round seed balls easier! Mostly self-pruning, prune when dormant to correct shape and form when young.

This variety has even shown some resistance to anthracnose, a disease that sometimes plagues other Planetrees!
