Love the trees I have purchased. This one came a little late to plant outdoors. I did order it late. I read should not plant outdoors in NY within 30 days of frost. It’s December so I decided I will keep it indoors till spring.
Mr. Maple is very responsive he sent me a photo of the plant before shipping. And he was quick on shipping. Mr. Maple has very nice plants and very good costumer service.
I wanted a good specimen for a container. This one will become exactly what I wanted. It will planted in a nice container in the spring and join several other Japanese maples in a display garden.

Ordered 2 Red Dragon Maples. MrMaple was so great to work with. They sent photos of the plants before I ordered and even shipped my order out early. Packed very well and arrived in good condition. I have bought other plants from MrMaple and have always been happy.
