Japanese Maples for all Seasons 

There is something special about Japanese maples.  They fill our gardens with glorious color and filtered light, and a walk among them helps to wash away the day's stress.  And fortunately, many varieties do wonderfully in our eastern Washington gardens.

Barry “The Maple Guy” Hoffer, arborist and co-owner of Maples for all Seasons Nursery based in Pleasanton, CA, shares his passion for all things maple with this informative class on growing and caring for Japanese maples in your home landscape.

Your two-hour workshop will be jam packed with information on best practices for watering and fertilizing, planting techniques and locations, varieties, and pruning, in addition to covering Japanese maples that do well in frost proof containers.
