Buy Japanese Maples North Carolina
JAPANESE MAPLES THAT PERFORM EXCEPTIONALLY WELL IN NORTH CAROLINA
Buy Japanese Maples in North Carolina. Welcome to the premier place to buy Japanese maples nursery in the Carolinas. For the South, we are as local as you get with Japanese maples. We not only graft our Japanese maples locally in North Carolina, but we also grow our own rootstock. Over 50 years ago our grandmother planted Japanese maples in East Flat Rock, NC fairly close to where our nursery is today. In the fall we collect seeds from these Japanese maples that have been through the full gambit of southern weather. These Japanese maples have great genetics for thriving and doing well in the South as they have been through the extreme colds, freezes, droughts, and heat spikes we have experience since the late 1950's. These seedlings are what we use as the rootstock (or simply the roots) of each of our grafted Japanese maples. We feel this gives us and advantage locally here in South as our trees are well acclimated and adapted to our climate. Purchase the right Japanese for your garden here.
