Japanese Maples

Lake's Nursery has the largest selection of Japanese maples in Northern California in sizes from 1 gal. to 30" boxes. We have hundreds of different varieties of maples, and thousands of maples in our shade houses and growing areas. We also have many mature Japanese maples growing in our display gardens and are planting more each year. Customers are encouraged to stroll through our grounds and see the different maples in a garden setting.
 

PRICES
Prices for grafted Japanese maples are as follows: 1 gal. $24.95;  2 gal. $39.95; 3-5 gal. $59.95; 10-15 gal. $149.95; 21" box $299.95; 24" box  $399.95; 30" box $599.95. We also offer ungrafted varieties grown from seed. Ungrafted maples are priced less than the prices listed above and are available in many sizes. Because Japanese maples grown from seed don't come true to the parent, all named varieties are grafted.

VARIETY NAMES
We use Japanese Maples by J.D. Vertrees as our primary reference for Japanese maple varieties. This is the book that is used by the majority of our customers and provides a consistancy in varietal names among collectors, Japanese maple enthusiasts, and the general public. We use Maples for Gardens, Timber Press, as a secondary reference source. We also have additional books available for research on the subject. Customers are welcome to use our office copies of any of our books when visiting the nursery to research their favorite variety.

JAPANESE MAPLES AND HOT SUN

Full sun throughout the day can be harsh on Japanese maples and cause extensive drying or "burning" of leaves, so we recommend protection from hot afternoon sun for all maples. However, the reality is that many gardeners do not have a sheltered location for a Japanese maples so we offer a selection of Japanese maples that will tolerate full sun. For these situations, check out our Sun Tolerant Japanese Maple List.
