Planetree Bloodgood 2" Bnb

Key Characteristics

• Size: Grows rapidly to a majestic height of 40 to 80 feet (and up to 100 feet at full maturity) with a wide, spreading canopy of 30 to 70 feet. 
• Foliage: Large, maple-like, dark green leaves that provide dense summer shade before turning yellow or yellowish-brown in the fall. 
• Bark: Distinctive camouflage-like bark that sheds in patches or thin strips, revealing a mottled mosaic of cream, tan, olive-green, and brown inner bark. 
• Disease Resistance: Specifically selected and widely known for having a much better resistance to anthracnose (a common fungal disease affecting sycamores and standard plane trees). 

Care and Growing Requirements

• Sunlight: Thrives best in full sun.
• Soil: Adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including poor or compacted urban soils, and can tolerate occasional wet conditions. 
• Water: Requires regular watering when newly planted, becoming moderately drought-tolerant once established, though it appreciates regular moisture during extreme heat. 
• Maintenance: Low maintenance; occasional pruning of dead or crossing branches is all that is typically needed.
