'Takao' is an old cultivar dating back to 1695 and recorded in Japanese literature. I purchased my first 'Takao' in 2006 and planted it at the Michigan Preserve when I arrived there in 2009. It is an amazing cultivar noted for its Autumn color as pictured here. I now have one at the New York Preserve and I will add, finding these older cultivar are becoming more difficult to find as there are many "new" cultivars with all the "Bells and Whistles" to dazzle the eyes of many collectors. These traditional cultivars are as beautiful if not more so than the new trees on the block. I took this photograph at the Michigan Preserve in 2016.
This tree in my opinion has the best color change of all. It has yellows, orange, pink, green and all colors are bright. This tree is so hard to find I’m glad I found it here. This tree is so beautiful even local Japanese go out just to view this specific tree in Mt. Takao.
The tree was packaged well and arrived in great condition. I've had it for a couple of weeks now, and it is doing well. I was so glad I purchased it as it is much prettier in person.
Acer palmatum 'Takao' is a wonderful cultivar and very hard to find in the nursery trade so I purchased two. Both were vigorous trees of quite a nice size. I was very satisfied with this purchase.

My maple arrived all boxed up and wonderfully packaged. The maple is the perfect size for me to start getting into bonsai. I love the leaf color and look forward to seeing it grow.

Everything arrived in great condition, and it's such a great little tree! It's on my front porch, the first thing anyone sees should they step up to my door, which is pretty much just the Amazon and UPS driver, but still. Great service, great product.
I have had my 1 gal tree since mid summer. I originally had it planned for a small space in the back of my JM garden. When I got this tree there was no way it was going to be tucked away in the far corner of my yard. I decided to keep it in a pot on my deck just so I could see it every day. It is getting dappled sunlight most of the day and has been a gentle yellow with peach blush all summer. Now, in September, it is changing to a deeper blush of peach on the yellow leaves. It is definitely one of my favorite JM.
..in it's 1 gal pot. I've had the tree for a couple weeks and it looks better every day. I am always happy with the JM I receive from Maple Ridge.
Beautiful little tree and healthy!
The 'Chirimen' Hinoki Cypress was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. It's such a great and unusual looking conifer! I was so impressed with the quality and size and definitely plan more orders in the future.
This is a wonderful and relatively unknown cultivar. I had it planted at the Michigan Preserve and observed and photographed it for many years and now I have it at the NY Preserve. The colors are constantly changing throughout the growing seasons and it is hardy to zone 5a. Maple Ridge Nursery's trees are always healthy and with an estblished root system. I will continue purchasing JM's for many years to come. Posted are the Spring and Autumn colors.
Our friends loved getting their trees as a thank you for hosting us while visiting Oregon for the Fairwell Festival.
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.
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.
