Rooted in a family passion for Japanese maples, we’ve grown from backyard beginnings into a nursery dedicated to healthy roots, true-to-name cultivars, and exceptional service.
Our Story
MrMaple began when Norman and Evelyn Nichols started propagating Japanese maples at home. Their sons, Matt and Tim, grew up surrounded by acers and a love for plants that turned a small family project into a thriving nursery.
Today the Nichols family continues that tradition—combining curiosity, care, and craft to share extraordinary trees with gardeners near and far.
Our Maples
Quality starts at the roots. We grow our own rootstocks, graft our scions, and prioritize balanced nutrition to build naturally vigorous, disease‑resistant trees that settle quickly and thrive.
We maintain correct cultivar nomenclature throughout propagation so what you plant is exactly what you expect—true form, color, and habit.
Our Expertise
With decades of hands‑on propagation experience, we stay active in the Maple Society and the International Plant Propagators’ Society, learning from collections nationwide and refining methods that keep our nursery at the forefront.
The result is a diverse, carefully curated selection ready to perform in real gardens and varied climates.
