Japanese Maples for Bonsai

Showing 1–40 of 44 results

Japanese maples make wonderful plants for Bonsai. Maples grow well in containers and are famous for their ability to thrive as beautiful bonsai. The maples in this section are hand chosen for bonsai because they have grafts that are low and/or very clean (ie. very little graft scar). They typically have good low branching. In some cases these maples are grown without grafting (seedlings) so there is no graft scar at all.

Many of the maples in this section are the actual plants that are for sale. Please check back often as our inventory and selection is constantly changing.
