Acer palmatum 'Matthew' Dwarf Japanese Maple
Size
1 Gallon 3 Gallon



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.

This was my first order with Maple Ridge Nursery and I am amazed at their great customer service and communications. I ordered the Emerald Isle Japanese Maple and it is a cute well formed tree. It was packaged well, shipped very quickly, and arrived in excellent shape. I will definitely be purchasing from this company again.

My dwarf white pine arrived in great condition and is thriving.

I’m very pleased with this purchase. It’s a neat addition to my collection. Nice color.

What a great tree. Thanks for the experience.

Plant is healthy and content in my container garden

Acer palmatum 'Ichigyoji' is not a common JM and is difficult to find. The little tree I got from Maple Ridge has a nice shape and is growing nicely.

Suffered a little probably because it was shipped during hot weather but seems to be getting over the shock. Very well packed for the trip.

From purchase to arrival, everything was great. Emperor, for me, purple gohst and sunny for my wife. Typical shock from transplant. Super happy. Great communication on the side of a little too much, but better than not enough. Thanks guys.

I was very pleased with my new Lileeane’s Jewel! Beautiful tree with nice shape. Looking forward to next year’s spring color.

Picea abies 'Tompa' Dwarf Norway Spruce

Thank you for my dwarf coral bark japanese maple. I just planted in a bigger container until my yard gets done, it will be planted next to a water feature. I would like to enquire about the Anne Irene japanese maple, do you sell them in a 3 gal or 5 gal?
Thank you Nevada Goans

Abies balsamea 'Piccolo' Dwarf Balsam Fir

The tree arrived in great condition (Oct. 2024). This is zone 5A, but it seemed to have no problem with the winter. After leafing out this spring has since grown about 6-8 inches taller in a second burst of branches that reach mostly upward. I monitor it daily and have provided it some additional shade during really hot days to help it from the intense sunshine here. I am very pleased with Maple Ridge Nursery and would definitely buy from them again (and have).

Lots of branching and good size already!! Another neat cultivar hard to find around. Was really pleased to see how healthy it was upon arrival. Packaging, as always was top notch and everything arrived safetly.

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.
