Customer Reviews
I love this variety of maple - perfect for future bonsai, which is the plan.
Grabbed a Seiun Kaku and Shishigashira XL. They arrived together in great condition and over 4ft tall.
Still getting the new tree used to the Alabama heat but it’s an awesome looking tree. So much character to the shape and habit of the tree! It’s my wife’s new favorite in out small collection.
Beautiful tree arrived in one day in perfect condition. I got the 2 gallon and it is huge- more than four feet tall and nicely filled out. It is ready to be planted in the landscape, but I have a deer problem, so I will keep it in a pot for a while. Thank you Mr. Maple team once again.
Note: my husband says I have an addiction and can’t stop ordering the Japanese maples.
Was bigger than expected and came quicker than I thought it would and perfectly intact, will continue to purchase my new maples from MrMaple.
