My tree came in a box!
August 4, 2018

My tree came in a box and I was impressed. It was a little over 7', green, and intact. I planted it Asap and she thrived and continues grow. Very cool!

Great service.
August 4, 2018

Fast delivery. Tree was in beautiful shape when it arrived. Hopefully I can keep it healthy. Only one flower showed up so it probably won't fruit this year. Looking forward to getting better at caring for it

Think I just wasted money
August 4, 2018

The free plant sent with order died already. Others don't look like they will make it through winter. No new growth since they were planted, look more like socks than bushes. I'll be going to a local nursery for future purchases.

North Star Cherry, Husky Tea Plant

I bought both of these plants and both are struggling to survive. I followed all the directions, but it's not looking good.

I was very happy to receive the plant in the mail. It came earlier than expected in its own soil. After planting, I had concerns about its progress. It didn't appear to flourish as quickly as another one I purchase from another source. But it appears to be producing leaves now and I am hopeful.

Expensive
August 4, 2018

Prices seemed reasonable, but upon seeing what size tree you can get at Home Depot for the same money, I realized that the deal was not so great. As far as the product, the peach trees seem to be doing ok, even though upon arrival, they looked quite pathetic.

Costly
August 4, 2018

The trees will come beat up because of the shipment, but get the 1 year plan and you will be ok. I have the plan once and I'm happy with it. The trees are a little costly but you can get them sent to your house so that's a good deal. I have only gotten fruit trees from them and all but one have survived. My papaya banana avocado limequat are all doing good, my paw paw didn't make it but.

TREE IS UNREAL!
August 4, 2018

BOUGHT AN EMPRESS TREE, NO ROOTS OR ANYTHING. JUST A FOUR FOOT STICK. TODAY IT IS 6 FOOT TALL AND THE LARGEST LEAVES YOU WANT TO SEE. I AM SURE IT IS GOING TO MAKE IT! I HAVE ANOTHER ROYAL EMPRESS TREE, THREE YEARS OLD AND TWENTY FIVE FOOT TALL. THESE TREES ARE UNREAL. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THESE TREES.

Poor Growth or No Growth
August 4, 2018

Ordered trees 3 or 4 years ago. They did not make it. Ordered 4 blueberry bushes in April. Only two left and they are not growing well. It is not the yard or my green thumb. I have planted an Aspen, Poplar, and 4 Birches. All are 20-30 feet tall after 2-5 years of growth. Not to mention our productive raspberry bushes.

Packaging was suspect and root ball was damaged. Tree could not possibly survive in this condition.

Need to submit for warranty replacement, but don't really need this hassle.

Both plants died
August 4, 2018

While both plants died, it was not entirely this merchant's fault. I live in the Mojave Desert (zone 9a) and I ordered too late. In the desert, trees and shrubs need to be in the ground before St. Patrick's Day to have a chance to get acclimated before the heat sets in. That wasn't what happened here, so both plants withered away and died. Since there aren't many things offered over the winter, I guess I won't be buying any more trees or shrubs from this merchant.

Unable to get a replacement
August 4, 2018

I called in asking for a replacement of my dying loquat tree on July 7. A rep emailed back stating that I needed to pay $20 for insurance before I could the purchase amount refunded to me as a store credit. I didn't ask for a credit but just a replacement. I will never buy anything from this store again.
