Davidsans Japanese Maples

Super experience from ordering to delivery. Hard to find cultivar beautifully grown packed with care and sent at the correct time . Very , very pleased.

Thru email correspondence I received a beautiful Ukigumo specimen. It was very well packed and arrived healthy. They even honored my request for multiple pictures of tree before I bought it.

Lovely Japanese Maple trees. Could not be more pleased with what I got for the prices. I thought the shipping was very reasonable for two 5 gallon and a 7 gallon tree in 5 foot tall boxes. And the trees needed ever bit of that box height. The packaging was at the top of what I have seen - the tops were wrapping in fabric and they placed a number of plastic air bags inside to cushion any shocks. I couldn't find a leave or branch out of place. Speaking of shipping, FedEx Ground here is atrocious so they were able to switch over to UPS who delivered without an issue. Communication was great as well. Highly recommended. If you are tired of paying high prices for small 1 or 2 gallon grafts from the West Coast - although they offer much more than those, please give Davidsan in the Midwest a try. You will not be disappointed. The Youtube link at the top fairly illustrates what they sell.

This is my 4th purchase from Davidsan's. Each time the trees arrived in great condition. Their selection is superb. Great experience with Davidsan's. I will buy again from them, but I need to find more space!

Posted on February 7, 2014, updated February 7, 2014 I ordered a few different items from this company. I was very pleased with the seed quality. Growing from seed is a learning experience that I am continuosly trying to improve. My rating is neutral for this company as I've received no email response regarding the status of the last seeds I ordered. I was hoping they could look up my account status as the most recent order was placed last season. Otherwise I will definately buy from this vendor in the future.

Posted on October 4, 2012, updated June 5, 2013 Posted on May 17, 2012, updated October 4, 2012 Davidsans did such a wonderful job suggesting my gorgeous Autumn Moon that I just purchased JMs Sao Shika, Higasayama and Shaina. Beautiful trees! And Davidsans are a true wealth of knowledge on Japanese Maples. I only wish I had more land and more shade to add more of their gorgeous trees! If you really love Japanese Maples and you live in the "northlands" with a small garden...please do check with Davidsans before purchasing. Their trees are awesome and hardy!

Posted on September 23, 2012, updated September 26, 2012 Posted on September 22, 2012, updated September 23, 2012 We bought a rare pine from Davidsans. It ended up being much more expensive than we expected (and would have paid if we bought locally) but assumed it would be higher quality based on email exchanges with the owner--lesson learned. In any case, the pine died about two months after planted. We planted it along with other trees and plants that all thrived. We are experienced gardeners and are very careful, all organic with quality compost and soil, lighting, and so forth. We sent photos to Davidsans, showing the thriving garden around the pine, and heard back from his wife that "they couldn't attest to the planting conditions and the best they could do was offer a 50% discount" on something else we would select. I was very disappointed. I was just hoping they would replace the tree. There were other aspects to this experience that were not great but this was the worst. We lost almost $200 and have no tree to show for it.

Absolutely the best in every regards. Knowledge, trees, shipping are all exceptional. You can't do better. Thanks, Dave and Gale.

Without hesitation or reservation, the absolute best, online experience I've had ordering plants--ever!!!! I could not ask for a better experience. David kept me apprised during the entire process via phone and email, he picked out a wonderful Stewartia rostrata for me that is the most healthy and vigorous tree I've ever received via mail, the packaging was top notch, no damage to the tree during the shipping process, I received my tree in a couple of days after placing my order and the price for the tree and shipping was more than fair and quite reasonable considering the quality of the tree. If you want a first rate experience from start to finish, please order from Davidsan's! Highest recommendation!!! Could not be improved in any aspect!

This was my first order and I was very pleased with the responsiveness of the staff in answering email questions prior to purchase. I ordered several trees for pots and all were well packed and healthy. All of the trees were much larger than I anticipated and the Happy Corallium was huge! I have ordered from other companies and paid $150 for what turned out to be a twig. Davison's selection is good and the prices are much better than other websites for the size of the trees. I will definitely order again as soon as I can find more room for trees and pots.

David is quite responsive to queries about JMs. He guided me to a JM cultivar that would be happiest for the environment and growing conditions at my home. I ordered an Acer palmatum 'Chiba' / aka 'Kashima'. It was reasonably priced and shipping was fast following placing the order. He accepts PayPal which was a plus. The tree arrived and was perfect in every way. I hope to get many years of enjoyment from this beautiful tree.

Posted on May 6, 2010, updated May 6, 2010 Posted on October 26, 2009, updated May 6, 2010 I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Davidsans Japanese Maples this past weekend. I was inspired to make an appointment to see the trees in full autumn foliage and I was not disappointed. The tour of the gardens was splendid and David shared his knowledge of Japanese Maples with enthusiasm. My intent was to purchase a tree based on the recommendation from the Better Homes and Gardens web site. I thought my selection would be quite limited. I found myself "discovering" plants that I had not considered. The variety of shapes and colors of leaves that my daughter collected in her hands as we toured the gardens was a hint that more than one tree would be accompanying us home. David was careful to show specimens that would acclimate to the space, climate and soil restrictions of my garden. He recommended a tree that fit the "bright red" criteria my daughter had set forth. We purchased, Hippy Fin Mo, Nurasagi, Oregon Fern, Green Hornet and Maikujaku/Aconitifolim. The color and form of the trees were splendid and the price was more than right. Thank you Davidsans for such a pleasant experience. We will see you again in the spring!

Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Davidsan Maples. Despite only ordering two maples, I always felt like my order received special attention. Even when I had to request a sudden change in shipping to to an emergency on my end, Davidsan was able to accommodate. The maples themselves are strong and sturdy plants with excellent trunk diameter. The acer shirasawanum 'Aureum' I received, a notoriously finicky tree, is the most gorgeous of my collection now with a fantastic framework and no sun-scald on the leaves. Thank you, Davidsan Maples!

Fantastic experience. Trees arrived securely packed and in pristine condition. So happy I ran across Davidsans as they have an incredible inventory. Some varieties I have not been able to find anywhere until.......Whoo hoo!

I have order 6 maples from Davidsans this year, all where large healthy trees. The packaging was great and the shipping cost were reasonable. Davidsans is now my first choice for japanese maples. I can not say enought good things about the company and David Myers!

Today, I received 3 huge, healthy Japanese Maples from Davidsans. I was really pleased. They were very well packed. Limb breakage and squished leaves were almost non existant. I'll be ordering again.
