Fantastic Plants
May 15, 2022

This is the first year I have purchased from Nature Hills Nursery. Their plants are a little expensive but every plant I ordered was healthy and absolutely great looking. I love the way they package the plants. They looked so good, it looked like I went to a local nursery and purchased them. My local nursery did not have most of the plants I ordered. Yes I will order again.

Sad little tree
June 2, 2020

I ordered a maple tree and it was suppose to be 5 to 6 feet. When it got here the top was broke and it was 3 feet. The leaves turned black and died. When I told him about it he said it was fine and the grass around tree was taking away the trees health. It was a $135 tree and he acted like no problem and it was fine. I bought 3 trees from him at over a $100 each and only one was real healthy and doing good. Be careful and do not buy the warranty cause its not worth anything.

I was AMAZED when I opened my shipments of pecan trees from Nature Hills. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. I'm in Zone 5a, and I don't know what to expect when ordered cold hardy nut trees. The first vendor sent me TWIGS in the spring, and they died by August. Literally twigs. My co-gardeners and I laughed at them. When it came time to replace them this fall, I tried Nature Hills. And for the same price, I received beautifully boxed-up, tall, bushy trees. I might actually live to see a pecan from these trees! Thank you so much, Nature Hills! I'll be ordering from you regularly from here on out!

They do not stand behind their product. From the start the plant did not take and I have been in contact with them since original plantings. They now will only give me 50% of another plant. They should replace the plant that was not viable to take. But after many emails they do not stand behind their product. If it dies your held with a dead plants and have to purchase new ones. Also they are very tricky with their language and never will they admit in emails they will not replace the non viable plant. Go else where!

Nice service
June 7, 2022

None of the tree nurseries around here sell Linden trees. I used to have one in my front yard growing up and decided I wanted another one. Lucky for me Nature Hills sells them. It arrived in great condition and I got it planted in my yard.

Thank you for your purchase, John. The sweet smell of those Linden trees in summer are certainly worth it! Cheers!

Do NOT ORDER…
May 20, 2022

Horrible delivery… ordered 2 hydrangeas in 2 gal pots & plants arrived broken and in very poor condition. Plants were not protected at all in box in any way and cannot be salvaged! And $200.00 with shipping for 2 plants was an outrageous price to begin with. They were very very small in size and the Plants were 1/4 the size they should be for that price if they had arrived healthy & unbroken.
Customer service absolutely terrible! Both reps Koli. And Barry were unsympathetic and quite rude. Barry's attitude was very demeaning and insulting! Worst customer service and I have ever experienced! Will never order again!

I ordered four plants in 5/17/20 to avoid shopping during Covid. It took a week between shipment and arrival about 5/30/20. One of the plants arrived and looked like it had been trying to grow in the dark with long spindly yellow branches and brown dying leaves. I planted all the plants adding miracle grow soil and compost. The sick plant tried to grow some leaves but the spindly stems wilted and the plant just started dying. I contacted the company asking for a replacement on 7/15/20 and * said he thought the plant would make it and give it some more time. I contacted him again 8/5/20 once it was completely dead and * only offered a 50% credit on that plant and would not offer free shipping to replace it. My 3 other plants are doing fine and this plant was clearly not healthy. This is substandard service. Don't buy plants from this company. It's not worth it.

Plants are so Healthy
May 23, 2023

I am unable to find peony plants where I live. I ordered 3, they are all so healthy and are thriving. I then ordered 4 different day lilies. Again they are healthy and thriving. They are expensive but you get what you pay for. They are packaged really well so the plants don't get damaged but shipping can take awhile. I would highly recommend Nature Hill Nursery.

I was very happy with the tree I received from Nature Hills Nursery. It was in perfect health with much more developed foliage than I was expecting. My only issue was that this tree took a whole month of hardening off to acclimate to full sun. I think they're grown in a greenhouse so there's a longer transition period - just something to be aware of.

Once you order from Nature Hills. First your money is processed and in there pocket. Your plant will arrive usually in good condition! If it is not and you have a complaint customer service will listen! Chances are your not going to get your money back or a new plant! They have terms and conditions that cover everything to negate your complaint! So just be advised they, in many cases will leave you sitting with a useless plant!

Plants
November 15, 2020

Unable to give a complete review, except to say, that the plants or trees i ordered came in a short period and were in good shape... have been planted and appear to still be alive. Given the review i have read post purchase,... will wait to see if trees make it before purchasing any other product. VRS

Olive trees
December 21, 2022

I bought two Manzinillo olive trees from Nature Hill Nursery I received them potted and wrapped carefully. I was amazed at the care in shipping. They were hardy and a really good size too. I will definitely buy more from this nursery!

Hazelnut (Filbert) plant
November 4, 2020

Ordered a Hazelnut (Filbert) plant from Nature Hills Nursery. The plant arrived within the time frame promised and was in excellent condition. I, also, have to note that the packaging was incredible. I don't think a nuclear blast could have damaged the contents!

When my overpriced fountain grass arrived I was astonished about my order. 79.00 for two plants that when and if they survive will be a miracle. I asked for a refund and they told me to ship back at my expense and plus a 40% restocking fee... laughable

I got 3 lilacs, 3 butterfly weeds, and 8 Sea Holly Blue Glitter (check 'em out if you don't know 'em) and they all arrived timely and healthy and look happy where we planted them. We'll see how they look next year if they make it through a Maine winter.

Beautiful holly bush
August 7, 2022

I was a little nervous to purchase from an online company, but couldn't find a female holly plant locally. The holly arrived carefully packaged and in beautiful condition. It is thriving in its chosen spot. It did take a little longer to ship than I expected, and I would have appreciated a little more communication about its expected arrival. But I am overall pleased with my purchase and will consider purchasing from them again.

More sorrows from this sorrowful company.
November 7, 2022
Updated review

I contacted the BBB. And their response is this (BTW I sent them pics of the trees with measuring tape back in September. That was THEIR concern, the height NOT MINE. I would've been happy with 2 ft HEALTHY trees not sickly broken 4 or 5 ft ones.). 11/03/2022 Receive Business Response
To Whom it May Concern,
The customer has been communicating with us since arrival of their trees, and we are awaiting full images of them with a tape measure to indicate their entire height, as that was a concern of theirs.
The customer has planted them and was advised to give them time, as it is noted on their order.

They are just deflecting. Not surprisingly.

They want more photos of the height of the sticks/trees. I told them my husband is in the hospital right now and I have no help. They said they will wait till I get them more pictures. Seriously this is a legitimate company? I think not. Ever notice half the reviews are negative the other half glowing. Strange. Yeah!

Date of experience: November 7, 2022

I purchased two Red Birch trees for a total of $199.19. The box they came in was damaged and the trees dried out and limbs broken. We planted them, I called company woman said a rep would email me. Well, he did. He told me to keep watering them (This was September) and keep sending him pictures. Every picture I sent somehow wasn't showing enough of the trees height or something. This went on for a week and I told him that my husband and I run a company and never would do this to clients. It is now the November and the trees still aren't trees they are twigs. Nonethless, after the rep said, "Keep watering them and I will keep an eye on you personally.". I told him that was it. I am an educated woman not a 5 yr old. I want a refund and I will be leaving a review accurately about my experience. I did so on another site. And guess what, all the reviews that followed mine were 5 stars! Not 2 or 3 or 4 stars 5. I smell a fish. I have since contacted my credit card company and BBB. Also some sites that businesses encourage you to leave a review expect that you will leave a positive one. Be careful all around. Our voices are being silenced everywhere. Photos here are when I first planted, now they have no leaves at all. You can see the breaks in the limbs easily.

These 'trees' were supervised and watered daily. Never grew. Leaves died. Pathetic. Sold me dead trees my husband said they wouldn't take no matter how much care I gave. This company is not reputable. Pic 11/3/22
The nerve of them taking $200 for dead trees and not being responsible about it.
Obviously broken in half. Then it died completely.

I ordered my trees 10 days ago with a guarantee of shipment within 7-10 days. I called up there and even though it said I was the 1st call in queue, I was still on hold for over 15 minutes before someone answered. * couldn't tell me when it would be shipped because of "weather permitting" (It's 62 degrees there and 73 degrees where I live). So he said even though it's marked "ready to ship", it could still be an additional 2 weeks. Now after reading the reviews, I'm worried that my trees will come in damaged. I'll update my review once I get my delivery and the trees are in good shape. Customer service really should answer the phone quicker, especially if I was the 1st one in the queue and was on hold for all that time.

Horrible Horrible Company to deal with
April 8, 2022

Bought a tree almost 200 dolllar worth, dead on arrival, notified customer service * super super rude and nothing but a liar to deal with. Save you the entire story but no new tree and no refund. Don't buy anything from this company people because if there is a problem you are not getting it fixed and you are definitely not getting your money back. Buy local! I attached an email image from the company so you can see where I contacted them regarding the issue. They told me that that wasn't proof that I had reached out to them more than I don't know what is proof
