'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.

I got a gorgeous tree and was very please with the quality of the tree and the service that I had received.
If I'd had dozens to choose from I couldn't have picked a nicer looking plant
The 2 gallon plant had good size and a well healed graft. Excellent shipping.
My parents planted a coral bark many years ago and loved it. I lost them in recent years and then took care of their cat who recently died. I decided to buy a coral bark and bury the cat under it, and included some of my parents' ashes with the tree too. I'm pleased with the quality of the tree I bought from Maple Ridge for this tribute to Mom and Dad.
Well, the leaves had all fallen off by the time it arrived. But the tree seems healthy with lots of good looking buds and a decent graft. It was packaged very well. Looking forward to seeing it next year!
Tree arrived looking terrific and since it is fall the leaves were displaying their color!
I am excited to see the tree grow and mature. The color is really beautiful!
Beautiful trees, well packaged, and fast shipping.
This is my first Japanese Maple. The tree is healthy and beautiful. It was very well packaged. It is acclimating to Texas now and I can't wait to get it planted and see it next spring. Thank you!
Acer palmatum 'Tamukeyama' Dwarf Japanese Maple
Returning customer. This plant was very difficult to find in the marketplace. So happy w/the specimen I received. As always, very pleased w/my purchase experience.
Tree was well packaged and arrived on time. Tree looks healthy and ready for the winter.
This Treearrived safe n sound along with Dark Ghost, and a cool conifer, Chirimen. Lookin good after we got unexpected rain in east bay of Northern California. Three wonderful additions to my collection.
Wow! This robust specimen has a fountain-like habit. I can't wait until it leafs out in the Spring. Maple Ridge always provides well tended and shapely plants. It is my go-to for finding the Japanese Maple cultivars I am looking for, and often can't find in stock anywhere else.
Unfortunately it fell victim to critter teeth and was bitten off a couple of inches from ground level after two days
I received a specimen that was nicer than I initially expected. Also the quality of the communication was another positive aspect of my experience here as well. I plan on purchasing more from them in the future
