Cline's Nursery Collection
Japanese Maple Specialists
Over 100 varieties of Japanese maples, from dependable landscape classics to rare collector cultivars grown for color, structure, and true specimen character.
Not just the usual red tree
A living collection of color, shape, and texture
Japanese maples can be upright or weeping, red or chartreuse, delicate or bold, full-size specimens or slow-growing container trees. The collection at Cline's is built for people who want to see the difference in person.
Rare and unusual cultivars
Collector varieties rotate through the nursery, with some trees available in limited numbers.
Grown for structure
Pruning, staking, and steady growth matter. These trees are shaped to become real garden specimens.
Selection help
Sun, shade, mature size, color, and placement all matter. The team can help match the tree to the garden.
