'Matsugae' is a rare tree in the nursery trade. The first 'Matsugae' tree I purchased was back in 2006 while living in California and it was eventually planted in the Nature Preserve in western Michigan. It is still there and thriving. During my decades of collecting, growing, studying and photographing Japanese Maple tree varieties, finding another 'Matsugae' seemed to be a daunting task. That is until I found one at Maple Ridge Nursery. I immediately purchased it and is now with me in a different location. It will be planted in my second Nature Preserve and I will continue to photograph it and compare these photos with my other pictures from this variety in the Michigan Nature Preserve. One of the advantages this variegated tree has over many of the other beautiful variegated maples is, it can take full sun all day long. Even the hot and dry California sun in the high desert of Ojai, California, where I initially grew my first 'Matsugae'. I am thankful to Maple Ridge for continuing to offer rare and unknown varieties for me to study, and photograph and to share with the world of Japanese Maple Trees lovers.

What I like about this tree are a few things. The narrow grow habit, dark, very dark, green foliage, short needles, compacted growth. Very happy with this tree also arrived in great condition. All the trees I received from this nursery came in great healthy condition. If you like Japanese maples and conifers, I recommend give this nursery chance.
My first Banshosho, what a pretty little tree. Bright green foliage, short needles somewhat darker, brown bark, looks gorgeous. Couple of days after receiving it. I went on site to buy a couple more, it was sold out. I might’ve got the last one :)
I will definitely be checking the site to at least buy one more, if not too.
Highly recommending to any conifer lover.
Tree arrived quickly, very well packaged and in great shape. Nicely done. Thank you.
I am really glad I found this website and store. I was looking for a specific plant, a reis dwarf cypress, and sure enough Maple Ridge had it and shipped it. It arrived about a week and a half after ordering. The outside box was pretty beat up looking so I was a bit skeptical at first but after unboxing the plants inside were un damaged. I planted them immediately and they seem to be doing great so far. I love the look of these and can’t wait to see them grow in my yard.
The trees arrived very well packaged and moist when they arrived. They were smaller than I expected. I planted them within 48 hours. They seem to be establishing, it's a bit early to tell how it will go.
Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku'
Blown away by its size and health! So nice!! Thank you!
Huge and beautiful! Thank you so much!!
All is well and good. I put the tree in a two gallon air pruning pot. Tonight we are supposed to get some much needed rain. Perfect time for that. Next year I will set the tree into the wild. 😜
