If you have even a bit of attraction to Japanese maples, you will wander around this nursery admiring, and wondering how you can find another spot in your yard for all the variety. When it's time to choose, the owner will make you feel all the care and love that was put into growing them, as well as how you can have that same success with the ones you bring home. Not even a question where you should buy a Japanese maple from, local and very reasonable prices. This is worth the time and drive. read more

I showed up and was greeted and helped right away. Very nice people, very knowledgeable and very willing to help and answer all questions. However, their prices are way to high and borderline ridiculous. I picked out two decent size maples one I was told was $400 and the other I was told $750. Nothing exotic just standard maples. The same maples I have bought from Home Depot for $130 bucks. Went a mile down the road and got a beautiful Butterfly maple from Todd's Nursery. It was about 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide and only paid $125 bucks for it. So if your looking for an exotic maple and don't mind mortgaging your home to get one this is the place to go. If your not looking for an exotic and want to save a whole bunch of money I'd recommend going somewhere else. Personally I will never return to this place for a maple! read more

Openers are awesome! They truly care about their plants and customers. They won't sell you anything without educating you first about how to care for it. read more

If you're a fan of Japanese Maples, this nursery is a must visit! The owners are super nice and knowledgeable. The wife gave us all sorts of great tips! We went in looking for a particular variety and left with an absolute gorgeous tee! There's so many varieties here and they're carefully pruned and tended to with great care. We will come back again soon to pick up another! read more

We were recommended by our landscaper to go to Higashi Nursery as they have the very best selection of Japanese lace leaf maple trees. We were greeted by Mrs. Higashi who took us on a tour of the various varieties of Japanese maples they have grown. We were truly amazed by the variety and beauty of so many beautiful maples. We found one that we really liked and brought it home. Great experience as we are so happy with our new lace leaf maple! read more

We've purchased a few plants/trees from Higashi Nursery over the last few years and three more today. They have all been happy and healthy. You don't just get get a plant, you get all the love that they have put into them over the years, knowledge about it and how to take care it it after you leave. We love supporting them and will continue to visit the nursery in the future. read more

Yes, they are hard to find with an old small sign. It is worth it! This couple is the real deal. They know and stock Japanese maples that you have never heard of. Unusual varieties and LOTS of them! This is where many other retailers buy their stock, but here you can talk to real experts who have been doing this all of their lives. I bought a very large Black Pine that is now a center stage focal point in my yard. The price was much lower than anyone else could provide. They had 4 left, and had been growing them in giant fiberglass bins for over 15 years! They will take the time to discuss your location, variety options, care and feeding, sunlight, soils, and growth patterns. They create and carry bonsai too, which I may add to my collection once my yard is more filled in. Great people! Treat them well. They are a rare breed and priceless! Gary read more

First, the map directions directly linked Yelp are so wrong. It leads you to some random place off a highway. Manually enter into google maps or your gps so you don't get majorly loss. Leading me to my second point, SMALL sign. If you're on the right street, you see this nursery at the corner of the street- that's not it. Keep driving a little further and you will see it. Most important point, BEST PLACE for so many different types of Japanese Maples. Forget Home Depot, Lowes, MacLendon, every other random nursery out there in the WA state if you're looking for the highest quality Japanese Maple. I promise you, just cut to the chase, cut the driving around and looking for a maple, go straight to the source. This nursery is run by a husband and wife team. Every single one of their maples looks healthy, with fresh, vibrant leaves, and the prices are definitely comparable to all the places I listed above. Surely, they'll be a little more expensive than a $40 one at Home Depot, but quality and health of a plant is very important. We bought ours, a Dragon variety, $85 but for the size (roughly medium sized), it's quite a steal in my humble opinion. They have at least 12 different types and even bonsai maples (priced at 25+). A somewhat "larger" bonsai runs $100. That's an absolute steal. The wife will spend time tons of time with you, showing you every maple you want to see, she'll tell you how to plant them (with bark NOT miracle grow), give you a pruning lesson (which you only do in the spring time), and will tell you if the plant you're getting will be too large for the space you plan on planting them in. We drove 45 mins to get to this place- got lost for 30 per yelp direction links- but 100000%, worth the drive, worth the experience, and they are open: Monday-Saturday 8-5pm. Honk 3 times for help as the sign says. I bought a dragon today along with a bonsai and am going back on Saturday to get coral wood and something of the green variety. They even gave me humungous cucumbers, zucchini, and tomatoes- for free- straight from their garden. Nice, caring, wonderful couple. You will definitely go home with the japanese maple that's perfect for you. I've attached pictures that do them no justice...but I hope you can see the lushness of all their maples! read more

Beautiful nursery with top notch customer service and beautiful plants. We loved our experience here, and the trees we left with.

Higashi Nursery specializes in Japanese Maples, Rhododendrons, and Azeleas. These are not the cheap every day varieties that you will find at Home Depot or Lowes. These are high quality plants that are grown from cuttings or grafted right here on site by Mr and Mrs Higashi. That being said, the prices are also higher than you find at said stores. The Higashi's are mostly wholesale but, also sell to retail customers. They are open to the public Tues - Saturday from 10am - 4pm. If you have ever bought a Japanese Maple at Maclendon's, odds are pretty good you might have a Higashi Nursery Maple. Come down to Sumner and check them out and post your own reviews. read more
