Bought several Crape Myrtle trees thisspring, most never have shown any sign of growth. Very disappointing

I ordered white hibiscus plants from them in the spring of 2023 - they arrived in dormant state. After several months had passed, they did not show any activity of growth so I sent the nursery a note asking for guidance. Their reply - it might take an entire growing season for the bushes to come out of dormancy, so essentially wait until next spring. Fast forward to 2024 - the bushes, as expected, were now dead. I sent them pictures and asked for next steps....their reply? "Sorry, you are outside of the 1 year warranty period." Fortunately, I had expected that these bushes were in fact dead last year and ordered bushes from Home Depot online which were planted elsewhere -they arrived green and are doing great. Words of advice - don't purchase anything from this nursery unless you want to wait 12 months in some cases to see anything green and/or be told that you 'are outside of the warranty period.'

Awful experience, do not buy from this nursery. I was excited to order from them because they seemed to be a reputable merchant, however, this was not my experience. I ordered six 5ft-6ft pawpaw trees but when they arrived they we barely over 3ft tall. I contacted customer service who asked for picture proof which I was happy to provide. They responded and said they would refund the difference between the tree size I ordered and those I received... $12. I told them this was not a suitable solution as they were not the product I had ordered and I did not want 3ft trees. And to call these trees is an insult to trees everywhere- they are sticks at best. I offered to send them back but they never responded and just issued the refund. In the correspondence I had with their customer support, they never provided their name which to me is a big red flag, not to mention highly unprofessional. I did get a good chuckle when they took the 4ft-5ft tree option for this product off their site right after I made this complaint- likely because they realized they don't actually have those trees in this size.

I received roots for 5 shade perennials. I planted all of them under the same conditions. The roots that had some greenery on them when delivered are all growing. The roots that didn't have any greenery have all decomposed. My success rates are as follows: Vinca Minor 4 of 4, Evening Primrose Yellow 0 of 4, Evening Primrose Pink 1 of 4, Bloodroot 0 of 4, and Hepatica 3 of 4.

Tennessee Wholesale Nursery FAILED in two critical areas: CUSTOMER SERVICE - I ordered my trees for fall 2023. Never received the trees until late Spring 2024 after a long trail of email exchanges, false promises, no option to cancel the order, and major frustration. POOR QUALITY TREES - I ordered seven trees. Two are growing (witch hazel). Three river birch and two elderberry are doing nothing after more than a month in the ground. It's not just the cost of the trees; it's the time and effort to prepare the planting holes, amend the soil, purchase supports and protection, keep them watered. All for nothing! Going forward I will NOT purchase from TWN. I will visit my local nursery and purchase healthy, viable trees. You should, too.

Rather than receiving thriving plants, you're sent dormant sticks and expected to play Dr. Frankenstein to bring them to life. It's a futile effort, and when you attempt to invoke the warranty, they dismiss it by claiming negligence on your part. It's nothing short of a scam. There are superior nurseries available, or even better, support your local community by shopping locally. I suggest wilsonbrosgardens.com for exotic plants online. They responded with the same no resolution the plant died no help getting it replaced.

I ordered 6 persimmon trees and 20 arborvitaes last December. 5 of the trees and 2 of the arborvitaes didn't survive. I was asked to send pictures of the dead trees which I did only to be informed that your warranty didn't apply to them. Please take me off your email list bacause I won't be doing business with you again.

I hate leaving bad reviews but I was very excited for my lawn moss and was terribly disappointed when I (finally) received it - it took a good month to get here. The box was full of mixed varieties of moss, not just the one that I ordered. It was full of leaves and sticks and debris that I had to remove by hand, which was very tedious. A lot of it was already brown and thin. The actual lawn moss that I ordered was beautiful, but it was a small fraction of the box. Most of it was unusable. I tried to put it down, but it was already on its last leg and did not make it. If I had received what I ordered, I would be giving it 5 stars but there was barely any of that in there. The majority of the moss was a mess. A lot of money spent, a long wait, and a big disappointment. I am hoping others have more success than I did.

It's too early to rate the ferns, although one Christmas fern is starting to pop up, as is one of the Fiddlestick ferns. My rating is low because the incentive to buy sets of ferns was the BOGO; two were charged full price. I did not catch this until I had paid; I immediately tried to contact your site but never received acknowledgment from them.

I received sticks, which is what I expected. As far as I can tell they are just fine! However the shipping was slow and that is okay too if I had received a notice about this

I was very disappointed when I received 3 dormant Maximilian Sunflower plants, and not live plants. If I had known that the plants would be dormant I wouldn’t have paid for them.

The quality appears to be good and received everything I ordered, but estimated time was longer than expected with no communications until it was ready to be shipped. I ordered during the busy time but a similar order from another company two weeks later arrived 2 days after this order, so be patient.

What I bought was not $62 worth! Check out local nurseries first. I wish I could add photos so you could see it!

My trees came on time, they were packed great, and were in fantastic shape. I would definitely order them again.

I received my shipment on Friday May 3rd. I ordered a white oak and 4 dogwoods. The white oak is split into 2 trucks right at the root system instead of a single trunk tree. I sent an email immediately with no response for almost a week. I have also tried to call the number that was in the box several times with no answer. Very frustrating as I want a single trunk tree that will grow up to be a nice strong tree.

I was very happy with my experience. The plants arrived in good condition. I have yet to get my second arrival. I will order again.
