Japanese Maple Rooted Cuttings for Bonsai
Rooted cuttings and Seedlings are highly sought for bonsai and container gardening where the presence of a graft line may be undesirable. Propagation by rooted cutting with Japanese Maples is much more difficult and time consuming. We will not release these trees until the root system is well developed. All rooted cuttings have had reduction pruning cuts made in preparation for use for Bonsai or Container.

Planting Directions for Containers
Growing Japanese Maples in containers is a long term project. The maples can live to be over 100 years old. The Japanese consider them ancestral and pass the trees from generation to generation.
How We Ship
Shipping plants is all about timing. It is a challenge to coordinate the growth cycles of the trees with the climate where they are grown, and the climate where they are being shipped.
Planting and Cultural Information for Japanese Maples
The Japanese refer to the maples as the ‘little girls’ and the pines as the ’fathers’. In their native habitat the pines provide protection from the intense sun and wind.
