I'm trying a spring order after two seasons of ordering in the fall. My fall orders tend to be too late in December to get a chance to survive. Also buying 1-2 ft vs largest saplings to test their quicker adaptation. Let's see how this works
Had to call 3 times in 2 months to get them to send my trees. By time I finally got them the gound was frozen. All the trees died that is why I'm having to reorder them. Hopefully they send them on time.
The bare root lilacs were packed well and shipped promptly but both died (after the 5 day window). I was willing to give them another try but if these plants don't survive I won't be back.
Originally received immature Virginia Bluebell rhizomes on an earlier order. After discussion with customer service, others were sent that were more satisfactory. Hopefully good rhizomes are sent this time.
I had a package stolen and you guys replaced it. I was so relieved.
So far everything I've purchased has grown well!
Thank you so much!
I ordered hydrangeas, and was very pleased with the plants and the results.
I received plants promptly and in excellent condition. Will buy again soon!
I have bought from TN Nursery for more than 20 years when I lived in AL and now FL. It took a bit to learn how to plant bare root stock. For me, the secret is to pot the plants for a month before putting in the ground. They are easier to water and care for until they get acclimated. This past season was a challenge with extreme cold temperatures in FL, as well as severe lack of rain for 6 months that is still on us. I have not lost a plant this year. Looking forward to beautiful gardens in the future with trees, shrubs and plants from Tn Nursery!
Thank you so much!
Just got last order yesterday, can't wait to see them grow!
Thank you so much!
Ordering process is frustrating. I thought I added Virginia Creeper@ 5.99/plant (there were no other options) to my cart. The price in the cart was $8.39/plant. Virtual assistant was not precise enough in its answers - saying the $8.39 "probably" indicated it was a larger size than the one shown on the product page. When the Plant Protection didn't show up as a separate line item, I did the math & figured it had already been added to the price/plant. AI should have caught that & saved me the extra work.
Hi, thank you for your feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience.
We’re sorry to hear the ordering process was confusing. Pricing differences like what you described can sometimes be related to size selection, availability, or optional add-ons such as plant protection, but we understand how that may not have been clearly communicated—and that’s something we’re actively working to improve.
We also appreciate your note about the virtual assistant. It should be more precise, and your feedback helps us make those improvements so future customers have a smoother experience.
We work very hard to keep our reviews strong and provide clarity for our customers, so input like yours is very valuable to us.
If you’d like us to review your order or pricing, please reach out to [email protected], and we’ll be happy to go over it with you.
Thank you again for your support. 🌿
Received persimmon trees, looks very healthy and taller than I expected! It came dormant so I can't wait to see leaves on the trees! Wow, buy one and get one free! Amazing!
Thank you so much!
It was good, as mentioned above. Milkweed plants for the Monarch butterflies.
Thank you so much!
This was the first time I used Tn Nursery for my plants/trees. Everything arrived on time and in great condition. I would recommend this company and plan to use them again.
Thank you so much!
I ordered 2 trees, aspens, I was sent 3. One seemed to be a dud. But out of nowhere it took off, new shoot from the root ball, pretty much caught of to the other two. Unfortunately, one gott plagued with aphids and I took to long to treat it. Seems dead all dried out. The other two are starting to bud.
Thank you so much!
My gf and I visited your Nursery last Friday and a lovely young woman helped us after hours and went above and beyond for our sugar maples and pecans. She said her mother in law owns the nursery and she lives close by but She stayed late and made the experience great. I'm ordering two more redbuds now to ship to Alpharetta GA and look forward to telling my friends and sister in Nashville about ya'll. Thanks again for all the help last Friday, it meant a lot!
Thank you so much!
After I placed my last order I needed to make some changes so I called customer service the lady was super nice and took care of everything I needed with no problem
Thank you so much!
