Cheaper than places around me
February 17, 2026

Most of the trees I have gotten were buy one get one free, about half are still alive and doing ok. For the price and selection they are definitely worth a shot. Even if half make it, then it's still cheaper than any other local nursery.

Hi, thank you for your honest feedback and for giving our buy one get one offers a try. We’re glad to hear several of your trees are doing well.

Bare-root trees can sometimes have a slower establishment period as they focus first on root development. With consistent watering and proper planting depth, many continue to strengthen over time and leaf out more fully in the following season.

We appreciate you recognizing the value and selection we offer, and we’re grateful you gave us a shot.

My cherry trees died within 6 weeks.
February 17, 2026

I have made several purchases and for the most part the fruit trees I purchased survived. I purchased two cherry trees last spring and they both died within 6 weeks of planting. They were planted in fertile soil and full sun. I watered them every other day in the late evening. Please respond.

I ordered the same trees last year and the red maple did okay, but the dogwood didn't make it at all. Hope these make it through.

Better than expected
February 15, 2026

I ordered 4 peach trees and 2 plum trees, they arrived in perfect condition, and the roots were still damp and well protected. The nursery sent me a few more trees than I even ordered which was an unexpected delight! I got them planted within 24 hours of receiving the box. Would definitely purchase from TN nursery again.

Hi, thank you for your feedback and for recognizing our quality products — that truly means a lot. We work very hard for our star ratings and always aim to improve where we can.

Orders are processed and shipped promptly to protect plant viability, but we understand how timing can be challenging if you're out of town. Tracking information is sent once the order ships, so we recommend keeping an eye on that email.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope you’ll consider updating your review after your next experience with us.

The only reason it wasn't a five is I got some things shipped well before the date I specified so they didn't survive. The other time I ordered they came at the correct time.

Hi, thank you for your kind words about our plants and pricing — we truly appreciate that. We’re also glad your previous order arrived at the correct time.

Orders are scheduled based on planting zones and processing timelines, and while we do our best to honor requested dates, weather and shipping schedules can sometimes require earlier release to protect plant viability.

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to serve you, especially given our wide plant selection. We hope your next order is a full five-star experience.

Great native plant supplier
February 12, 2026

I've had variable luck with some of the small plants I've gotten but the ones that survived their transition have done well. Looking forward to these shrubs I just ordered.

Education when it Counta
February 10, 2026

I can't believe I actually look forward to an email, but when it comes from Tennessee nursery, I'm always excited to open it. I have ordered multiple times for them and never been disappointed about the quality or the price of the plants They have a great selection of Native plants, I receive when I have a question I can get a quick answer in their hrlp/chat box if I want to dig deeper into a plant species I can find helpful and informative information. Can't wait for my order. I guess I have a bit of spring fever thank you Tennessee nursery you brighten my day and my garden.

Great plants at a great price!

I am creating a fern garden at my house in Northwest Georgia. TN Nursery made recommendations and provided information to help with planting. I also ordered creeping cedar and partridge berries to add to the wooded areas around my house — looking forward to seeing how they spread.

Tennessee Wholesale Nursery has a good variety of plants, including some that are hard to find. Unfortunately a small number of the plants I have ordered have arrived dead-- hard and not pliable and never produced and growth.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. Bare-root plants often arrive dormant and may feel firm or appear lifeless at first. We recommend performing a scratch test upon arrival to confirm viability. If the tissue beneath the bark is green, the plant is alive.

If a plant is confirmed dead at arrival, please notify us within 5 days so we can honor our warranty. Customers may also choose to purchase an extended warranty for additional coverage. Full warranty details are provided at checkout.

We appreciate you choosing us for hard-to-find plants like pawpaw.

Healthy Plants
February 5, 2026

I previously ordered Wisteria and hummingbird vine, and the plants I received were very healthy and once planted have been growing vigorously. They even flowered last fall so I am hoping this spring I will have beautiful purple flowers along my fence line.
This year, I am continuing to expand my shade garden and ordered some Lilly of the valley.
Thanks for having the BOGO sale!

I ordered some woodland perennials 2 years ago and they come up beautifully each spring so far. The bulbs came in great condition and have even survived the drought during our hot Ohio summer. TN Nursery is my go to place for native plants/trees. I'm very happy!

New Customer of bare root trees
February 4, 2026
Updated review

Sent me three bare root persimmons in November. The roots and trunks of the persimmons looked very healthy/vigorous. The fruit trees I ordered were shipped to me on 2/03. I am ordering some Paw Paw trees today. I am hopeful that the trees I have planted and will plant will grow well this coming season.
