We bought our first Japanese Maple from Mike and Sachi in 2011. I will never forget how incredibly kind Mike and Sachi treated us. The variety and condition of their maples were amazing. After a few hours we purchased a beautiful dwarf for our front yard. This past weekend, we returned to Momiji Nursery to purchase a few more Japanese maples for our back yard. I was pleasantly surprised when Mike remembered who I was. It's an honor to have multiple Japanese Maples from Momiji Nursery. I'd highly recommend them if you are seeking a quality and well cared for Japanese Maple. Their trees are created and crafted with love. read more

Mike was incredibly patient and a pleasure to work with. I was just starting to learn about Japanese maples and he walked me around the nursery and talked me through the different varieties and helped narrow down a few based on my size/location requirements. Mike is not a salesperson, he won't be pushy or try to impress you with his vast knowledge of the trees. It's clear, however, he has a deep, genuine connection and history with the nursery and the trees he grows. I ended up with six trees that are amazing. Each one is special, appears to be well cared for, not just jammed together like at Home Depot, and I couldn't be happier. Momiji Nursery is type of small business that anyone within 100 miles should be grateful for and should make an effort to support. read more

Amazing and incredibly knowledgeable owners. I stopped by the nursery to get advice on a maple that was gifted to me. I'm not from California and didn't get the maple from this nursery but Sachi took a look at the pictures I brought and gave me excellent advice on what to do for my maple that isn't doing well. She told me I could email her for more advice if needed and spent over 30 mins trouble shooting my issues. These are people who are serious about their product and truly care about the service they provide. I cannot thank Sachi enough for the excellent customer service and attention she gave us. When i order my next maple it will be from here. Thank you again! read more

Mike was a huge help in selecting the perfect tree for my yard. Highly recommend visiting this nursery if you want a Japanese maple! Made my trip up to Santa Rosa totally worthwhile. read more

Momiji Nursery - Mike helping select a Japanese maple for my garden. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I bought two Japanese maples from Momiji last year and was extremely happy with the customer service I received. I had a lot of help selecting in choosing the maple I wanted. When you go in there it feels like you're in a majestic Japanese garden. It feels like your blood pressure lowers and you feel a peace and contentedness. The owner Mike and his daughter Christine lovingly tend to these plants since they are grafted which they do themselves. Please visit this family run business. It is worth the drive! read more

Momiji Nursery specializes in Japanese maples and may be the only nursery in the larger bay area that actually grows and grafts their trees from seedlings at their nursery location. This is a family owned business and the care for their trees is instantly apparent. Momiji nursery takes the time and care to guide you through finding the perfect maple for your garden! They are easy to work with and very knowledgeable about all things Japanese maples. I highly recommend their product and appreciate their service. read more

Rob says: As a certified arborist, good tree stock is nearly impossible to come by until you visit Momiji. Their tree stock is the best I've found and they are the only nursery I will buy from with confidence that I'm getting a quality stock. They have the biggest selection of varieties, in all sizes and all are well cultivated. It's clear that they are grown by people that really know and love their plants. They are the best trees in the Bay Area, and their excellent quality and incredible service are more than worth the drive from where we are in Martinez. Sara says: This is my dream nursery! Although I'm not an arborist, I'm an avid but novice Japanese maple collector. The owners and growers, Mike and Sachi, are friendly and welcoming. They are helpful, if you're looking for some direction, advice or specific trees but they are also willing to let independent tree shoppers wander their forest of maples. They can answer all sorts of questions and help you load your trees with enough care that they'll get home in good health. Maples can be pricey, simply due to the specific needs of growing and time, but Momiji's prices are more than reasonable for the quality that you're getting. I am confident to recommend Momiji to anyone who is looking for quality Japanese maples--from basic to rare-- that will last a lifetime. read more

We drove from Oakland to Santa Rosa and what we got is well worth the 2 hour trip. The owner Mike was incredibly knowledgable and helpful. In addition to adding 2 gorgeous maple trees at great prices, I also brought leaves from one of my existing maple tree that has some bug problems. Mike carefully examined the leaves and gave me great advice on which organic pesticides to use. We brought a trailer to transport the trees and I'm impressed by how much care Mike took to tie the trees down just right. Now the trees are beautifully installed in our yard! read more

We drove for an hour and a half for our tree and the expertise found at Momiji. I really needed their expertise since Japanese Maples have over 700 cultivars. I had spent so much time on so many sites looking for what I wanted without much luck. Upon arrival we were greeted and I explained my site, preferences and requirements and the owner led me to several trees that fit the bill. In very little time I had selected & paid, he wrapped it up and we laid it in the back of my GLK (a 15 gallon one). ---- I wish I had not wasted so much time searching the internet. trying to figure out what to get. All in all, even with the drive from East Bay, going to Momiji was faster and more productive. Kinda miss old fashioned knowledge and help that the internet is missing sometimes. Mike also gave us a tip on a good Peruvian place for lunch that I'll post elsewhere. read more

Sachi and Mike are hardcore Japanese maple experts. It's obvious that they care immensely for their trees and customers. From the time that Sachi takes to make sure you get just the right tree, to the wonderfully shaped trees cared for and delivered by Mike, it really doesn't get any better. A quality tree is an investment that you'll be living with for many years, possibly your whole life. It's a commitment. Momiji Nursery does everything they can to make sure you have the perfect match. read more

I have known Mike and Sachi for over 20 years and are dedicated to the art and science of Japanese maples. They look after the smallest details like the location of the grafts, type of soil, and making sure you get the right varietal. I have over 6 Japanese maples that I will not trust anyone except Mike to prune each year. He has an exquisite eye and I can only marvel at watching him carefully prune the tree for the best shape. Both of them are artists and dedicated to their craft which is rare in this area. read more

The owner grows all his variety from seed--you can really feel the love and care that was poured into their trees. There are trees for any budget. We walked around and found one we fell in love with--turns out it's an Autumn Moon. We couldn't be happier with our experience. read more

Momiji Nursery - Autumn Moon.  This is the tree we got. Gorgeous! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Great selection of maples raised from seed, carefully grafted and well cared for. As a bonus, it is a unique experience to meet wonderful people who really know what they are doing, take pride in their work, and yet remain polite and friendly. I wish I had a bigger yard. read more

We just bought a Fireglow Maple from Mike and Sachi! Their expertise on Japanese Maples are by far the best here in Northern Calif! Mike and Sachi personally drove to Sonoma to plant our beautiful maple and prune two other maples growing in our backyard! We are so impressed by their knowledge and personally attention to detail and the love they give to their business! If you're in the process of purchasing a Japanese Maple, I would highly recommend Momiji Nursery! read more

Our Bonsai group had arranged a field trip to several nurseries around Santa Rosa a couple weeks ago. We had the wonderful opportunity to visit Sachi and Mike early on a Saturday morning. Both Mike and Sachi were very gracious hosts. They greeted us with fresh coffee and donuts. They are both extremely knowledgable about the maples and have the best specimens and the best variety. Sachi does all the grafting. If you are looking for maples...this is the stop..we drove from Livermore and it was well worth the trip. I would not even bother checking out other nurseries..this is it when it comes to maples. read more

If you're looking for that perfect Japanese maple, you can't do better than visiting Momiji. We had visited thier dispaly at the San Francisco Garden Show for years, and finally went to visit the nursery about six months ago. They had thousands of trees,big and small in more varieties than I knew existed. I so wanted to buy one of their large specimen trees--they were just spectacular! Alas I don't have the right spot for one though. We're near the coast--not the ideal location for most maples. Sachi and Mike spoke to us about our home and location (how much wind, what is the soil like, what kind of sun where you want to plant it, etc.) and helped us pick a two varieties that would do well despite our challenging conditions. Then they showed is hundreds of trees in those varieties, taught us about picking a good tree, etc. We finally chose one that wasn't even in a pot--it was in their growing area--so we made the deal (very fair) and arranged to pick it up in the winter when it was dormant and they could pot the tree properly. When it came time to collect our prize, Sachi told us just what materials to bring and carefully prepared the tree for the ride in our pickup back to the Bay area. She gave us detailed watering and planting instructions, and couldn't help but prune a few branches to prepare the tree for this spring's growth. She invited us to call if we had any questions. We couldn't be more pleased. If you want to pay much more and have only a limited selection--go elsewhere. If you want to go to a family owned nursery where they live and breathe Japanese maples, and probably make a friend as well--go to Momiji! read more

I have not yet had a chance to visit the nursery in Santa Rosa, but I was fortunate enough to meet Sachi Umehara and her daughter at their display at the SF Flower & Garden Show this year. We had been trying to settle on the right red-leaf Japanese maple for our San Francisco yard, and Sachi took the time to educate me on several different varieties, ultimately recommending a few specimens that seemed suited to our location and climate. She actually recommended that I speak to some of the other Japanese maple vendors at the show -- which I did -- but I ultimately returned to her display to purchase a lovely Fireglow maple because her knowledge and experience raising these trees really went above and beyond that of the other nursery owners. She provided me with planting tips and urged me to get in touch if I had any more questions -- it's obvious that she cares about each and every tree she raises. We plan to fill out the rest of our yard with some smaller maples over time, and we will be making the drive up to Momiji Nursery when the time comes! read more

Excellent care and suggestions.You almost do not want to take their trees as it is clear they love them so much. The experts!

Japanese Maples and only Japanese Maples. Of all sizes and varieties. Excellent, healthy, well maintained and organized selection. Owners exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. Tell them what your local planting, water and sun conditions are and they will definitely have a tree to recommend. And will have it available to buy, that day. Highly recommended. read more

Beautiful trees that are well cared for. Best selection of maples in Sonoma County. I am happy I came here!

There is no one who knows maples better than Mike and his wife. We are so fortunate to have them in our area. I can not recommend them more. I would not think of purchasing a maple any where else! read more

I am very happy with the trees and the delivery service.....on time and very friendly.

This year at the San Francisco flower and garden show I purchased some excellent Japanese maples from Momiji Nursery. I have always looked at their selection and the other growers who I have purchased from in the past. This year the quality difference and the beautiful tree selection won me over. With the purchase of three trees for my own yard, adding to the collection of 30 trees I feel very excited and fortunate to have made the purchase from such passionate growers. It is obvious how much they care, I don't think I have seen better shaped trees. I love Japanese maples and use them in my garden design for my landscape business. I have purchase trees from Oregon but now I will be excited to make the short drive to Santa Rosa looking forward to the wonderful quality and selection. The best way for me to thank Sachi and Mike is to continue to purchase trees from them and to let others know about their nursery. read more

I totally agree with the other reviews. I've probably bought12 or 13 trees from them over an 18 year period, each of a different variety. If I could fence in everything, I would get more. I kind of think of their nursery as a shrine, since both they and the trees are of Japanese descent. Occasionally they sponsor classes on pruning, and I found that quite helpful. read more
