Acer palmatum 'Matthew' Dwarf Japanese Maple
I purchased this Japanese maple as a replacement of one in our garden that had been transplanted last Spring. The original tree did well but was always temperamental and with the unprecedented snow fall in the South during mid January 2025, I feared this tree would not make it.
So, with a watchful eye I monitored the tree and when it didn't show sign of growth I passed judgement on it and decided to get its replacement. Those led to the A.p. Matthew from Maple Ridge Nursery. The tree arrived timely and with the budding leave ready for Spring.
Shockingly, the original tree began to push new buds and soon the tree had leaves and it seems to have survived not only the snow fall/cold temperatures but also my disbelief in its ability to survive in a new location on top of the challenging weather during its first year after transplanting.
So, I'm delighted to report not only the survival and future in our garden of one tree but also its intended replacement, A.p. Matthew. It's also strengthened my belief in these trees as they are the summit of our garden.
About 2 months ago, I purchased Acer palmatum 'Matthew' to place in my son Matthew's memorial garden. I thought it was the perfect tree due to it's dwarf size. Rather than plant it immediately, I decided to leave it in a container through the summer months before permanently planting it.
It is a small delicate tree with beautiful gold/green leaves and is thriving and healthy. I am looking forward to seeing it's beautiful colors this upcoming Fall. I am very pleased with the growth, health and appearance of this tree, and may purchase it again in the future. I was also very impressed by how well it was packaged and how quickly it shipped.

from 956 reviewsMy wife says I have a tree problem. More specifically a japanese maple problem. Time will tell if this scotch pine is just a fling.
Tree is very sturdy. Wish they have bigger size to buy. Will come back for future purchase
I'm really enjoying the trees I get from Maple Ridge Nursery. They are healthy looking and ready for planting in my garden or happy in their pots!
I need to buy bigger plants running out of time
I thought this tree was a different cultivars when I bought it; however, I was not disappointed. It is a beautiful Acer P and arrived in good health. I am looking forward to seeing what it displays in the coming seasons.
'Mahogany' is an outstanding cultivar that deserves to be in anyone's top 10 list of Japanese maples. It's Spring color is a beautiful and rich mahogany color that stands out from the other more commonly known red-leaf cultivars. It can take full sun during the Summer months in growing zones that exist in the Southeastern United States. I have grown one at the Michigan Preserve and now at the NY Preserve.
Arrived in perfect condition thanks
This was one of four trees I purchased from Maple Ridge Nursery. All 4 arrived healthy and beautiful. Will buy from again.

With my studies of over 900 different cultivars of Japanese Maples, this Acer Dissectum is a true standout. I have pushed it to its limited regarding direct Summer sunlight and at no time did it lose its color and vitality. It also withstood winter temperatures dropping to -30 below zero F (-34.4 C) without any twig dieback. I recently purchased this Dissectum for the NY Preserve and I planted it just today, May 27, 2026.
Thank you for all of the great trees over the many years of buying from you.
This is an outstanding cultivar with deep maroon, and almost black leaves depending on how much sunlight each leaf receives. I am always looking for new and rare cultivars to add to my NY Preserve, and 'Midnight' is one of them. Thank you.
I have been buying JM's from Maple Ridge Nursery for many years now, and their trees are always happy and healthy. I purchased 'Sharazz' for my NY Preserve and it along with others arrived in healthy condition and will now be planted into my Preserve along with the other 425 different culitvars. Thank you for all you do.

We are constantly putting trees in larger pots to allow them to grow and not become root bound. Therefore, many of our trees may have loose dirt in the pot until the roots fill out the container.
All of our Japanese Maples are grafted with a side veneer graft unless specifically stated as seedlings. This style of grafting is most commonly used in the nursery industry and allows these trees to still become excellent bonsai as the graft scar will be no longer visible when the trees age.
