Very relaxing and informative!

I drive a big brown box truck all day and deliver boxes to doors, needless to say..I have plenty of time to listen to podcasts. I’m happy to have these guys in my rotation, although I’ve been binge listening!(MORE CONTENT) It’s cool to hear two brothers share such a unique passion to which in turn became a business. Matt and Tim’s voices are oddly relaxing too lol. Keep up the great work, I look forward to nabbing something from the 10 @ 10 sale on Tuesday!

Japanese maple lovers must have!

This podcast and related website MrMaple.com is first class Japanese maple porn! If I’m not listening to their podcast, I’m surfing their website or I’m doing both at the same time. My only wish is that my pocketbook was big enough to support my Japanese maple dreams!
Shane Sanford

Amazing Information on Japanese Maples

I have been a big fan of MrMaple for about 5yrs now and have purchased several hundred cultivars from Matt and Tim. They are extremely knowledgeable and have an amazing passion for educating their peers, friends, colleagues, and listeners! If you are looking for a podcast that focuses on the sheer beauty, uniqueness, and habits of these beautiful ornamental trees you’re in the right place! Head on over to their YouTube channel, FB and Instagram pages, too. It’s full of helpful information and tips on picking the right Japanese Maple just for you.
