I bought a key lime and Meyer lemon patio tree. One for each daughter for Mothers Day. They both are very happy with their tree.

Dead Plants
June 1, 2018

I ordered strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Only the blackberries lived everything else died. They were nearly dead when arrived and they told me that was okay they would come back. Not true they just died and nothing ever grew. You can just buy better plants for cheaper somewhere else.

Not impressed.
June 1, 2018

I basically paid $100 for a 5 foot stick with leaves on it. I planted it and have cared for it but it will take years for it to even look like a tree.

I was amazed at how well the trees arrived in perfect condition. I would definitely buy from fast growing again.

I made my first order from Pam's Fast Growing Trees last fall - several maple trees and six different shrubs. I also bought the Guarantee. There was nary a leaf on any of them. I called and was reassured that this was normal; the plants were dormant. Then we had an unusually cold winter and late spring.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the plants come to life - all but the Yuletide Camilias. I took photos, as the Guarantee instructions indicated. When I called to report the problem, the staff member didn't even ask to see the photos. She asked me about the problem; I described the lack of life in the plants (no green and snappy twigs). I could have asked them to send me new plants (later in the year) or get a credit. I chose the latter and so I'd be able to decide what I want later.

I am a very satisfied customer who will do a lot more business with Pams.

Pathetic blueberry bushes
June 1, 2018

Bushes arrived very small very little foliage, dissapointed, planted, no growth at all, blueberries are not in my future. Gee the plants in your website look healthy green, blueberries plentiful. I didn't buy these bushes to look at a sickly plant

What was I thinking?
June 1, 2018

Shipping trees? How could that work? Exactly as expected. Trees arrived damaged, not damaged but destroyed. Then the replacement tree they sent showed up the same way. What a waste of money! And if you love trees you should probably be upset at how these are packaged. No possible way for them to survive.

Curly Willow
June 1, 2018

Excellent condition, packages very well. No damage done to the branches or the leaves. Seems to be thriving since there has been no leaf drop at all. Lots of roots forming. I hardily recommend the planting mediums that Pam's offers. We have to wait and see how the Curly Willow does.

Not only were the plants I received in bad shape but I had to go through multiple issues and miscommunications. They seemed to not be organized as every agent I spoke to had a different response and solution but unfortunately was not always accurate. Had to waste a lot of time on the phone trying to resolve things. Eventually I was issued a refund but i would have preferred better quality plants and a more honest description and fair pricing.

Not good

Purchased a muscadine and it has been in the ground for 3 months now. No sign of life. Not one leaf. My walmart grape vine beside it is doing just fine. Seems to be a defective vine

Order process was good. Myer lemon tree and two hydrangea arrived. The hydrangeas were cramped in the containers with a lot of dead that had already turned black. One the past several weeks, i'v nursed them back to help and I think the hydragenas will survive, and I hope the Myer tree survives and begins to show new growth.

We love this plant nursery! It shipped the fruit trees we ordered so carefully. The trees were in excellent health, and the biodegradable root bags made planting so easy. We will definitely order from this company again in the future.

My son arranged to have two Yoshino Cherry trees delivered as a Mother's Day gift. They were delivered the day following shipment, in perfect condition. I have never seen such professional packing - two trees, in planters, in a long box with planting material, rooting enzymes and stabilizing kits to keep them straight. Everything was firmly zip tied so not even a leaf was out of place or damaged. We are very excited to see these trees grow over the years. Betsi B. www.Florida DreamPainter.com

Remarkable!
May 27, 2018

This nursery has surely perfected the science of shipping their fine products. My last shipment arrived witht he sturdy box "FOLDED" in the middle. It must have taken a real shot during shipping. However, imagine my surprise when I opened the box to fine my two box woods in perfect health and showing no signs of damage. They were secure in their pots, as was the soil! They are in the ground and looking quite fine.
