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.


 The Place to Buy Japanese Maples in North Carolina
Producing Over 1000 Cultivars of Japanese Maples in the Mountains of North Carolina! 

Buy Japanese Maples North Carolina

These beautiful Japanese maples are at our nursery. This was taken in June of 2013 when our friends from "In The Garden With Bryce Lane" from UNC TV were filming a special on "Magnificent Maples" here at our nursery. You can click on the link to see the episode online.

Here in North Carolina we produce the largest selection of Japanese maples in the United States. There is no need to go anywhere other than right here on the East Coast. We graft and propagate over 1000 unique and different selections of Japanese maples. We are a small family nursery owned and operated by two brothers who enjoy providing exceptional Japanese maples that do well here in the Carolina's, especially the rare and hard-to-find varieties. We are passionate about what we do. We love sharing our enthusiasm and knowledge with our customers.

Brothers Tim Nichols (left) and Matt Nichols (right) who own and operate Nichols Nursery and MrMaple.com in East Flat Rock, NC

Located near Hendersonville, NC we are conviently located 20 minutes south of Asheville and 30 minutes north of Greenville, SC. We are only 1.5 hours away from Charlotte, NC. We are two hours east of Knoxville, Tennessee and only two hours north of Columbia, South Carolina. Many gardeners in the Atlanta, Georgia area make short 3 hour trips to visit the nursery. Being located in the Mountains of North Carolina there is quite a bit of fun and excitement when visiting the area. Many customers also visit the Biltmore Estate and Gardens, Chimney Rock, Pisgah National Forest or the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Not able to visit the nursery? No problem. We ship anywhere in the United States. We have custom designed boxes that help ship Japanese maples safely to your doorstep. Trees are shipped in their containers to make the transition from our nursery to your garden the safer and stress free. We treat each Japanese maple with a special spray that protects the Japanese maple from losing moisture during shipping. We ship using FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery as they have proved to be the most reliable and most economical carriers of our Japanese maples. Being located in North Carolina, we have a prime shipping location for the East Coast. We can ship anywhere on the East Coast fairly quickly. Trees being shipped to the West Coast may take 4-5 days in shipment but always arrive in great condition.  We ship on Mondays and Tuesdays to help prevent trees from being in shipment over the weekend. You can buy one of our Japanese maples here that will fit the needs of your garden, bringing beauty no other plant can match.
