I ordered red twig dogwoods and rhododendron from the Tree Center. Every one was pot bound and weed/moss infested!

No one would purchase these plants from the Tree Center if they saw them beforehand. They only replaced one of four ordered and the replacement's leaves were sparse and insect chewed as well

They were received timely and planted within the week. Their response has been pretty good thus far. I look forward to their accelerated growth! I'm reasonably happy with them thus far.

They are here

They are all here. They all look great I haven't planted them yet. Making someone put in 100 characters on a review is ridiculous!

Bought $1500 worth of trees. A month later, most are browning. 14 trees purchased, 7 browning, Tree Center offered to replace 4.
Not the way I expected to be treated.

First time dealing with The Tree Center and it will be the last unfortunately. My original order was for $203. I received an email with FedEx tracking which stated my order was now complete, showing $152. The email shows what had been shipped. It's short 2 plants but I'm thinking will ship soon. One box arrives and I contact customer service via their chat after several days goes by. He explains that FedEx split the shipment and 2nd box will arrive soon - which it does. Order NOT complete, still missing 2 shrubs. I wait a week, contact c/s again (I'm in TX, usually a short spring before it hits the 90's). Now they are out of the 2 shrubs as I explain that I had never received them yet they had closed my order out. Apologies issued, they are waiting on supplier farms to restock. Another week goes by, they don't contact me so I call email again. Sorry, but no stock available, take a refund. Now I call and say hey, the larger shrub is on your website - why not ship that for great customer service. Nope, on hold while they verify and yes, I can have larger size if I PAY for them - SERIOUSLY? It wasn't my error to begin with. So I pay, shrubs arrive. The " container" was bigger but I could not see any roots when I watered before planting. Loose soil for the bottom 2/3 of container when I planted them, super disappointing after this whole ordeal. And the plant from a # 3 container is the same size as the #2 I had ordered. Buyer beware!

We received our plants very quickly they were packed with TLC and we planted them today. Can't wait to see how they fill in to create a privacy fence.

During social distancing [due to Covid19] I used this company for 1-2 months. I have been purchasing plants and trees for 10 years or more. They are without doubt the worst for customer service and value.

Here is a typical appearance of the bushes and trees once they arrived (below).

I had 7 arborvitae die within 2 weeks, all the same way, despite being placed in several different locations. I think they were exposed to cold along the way. I took pictures and submitted them online: they lost the email and would not reimburse me because I did not purchase the 1 year warranty.

I placed a large order - it never showed up. I contacted them 1 month after the purchase and they said 'sorry, we will have it out shortly.' Then two months after the order, I receive email saying that the order is cancelled. Okay. But you would think they would be willing to work with me on replacing the order. But no; it's been such a pain working with the customer service. You simply receive a 1 line email response each time.

Stay away.

Scammers
April 27, 2020

Have tried multiple times and multiple avenues to try and get in touch with customer service. I filled out a ticket a week and a half ago and no one has resolved my issue. My river birch I ordered arrived damaged and bent. I also ordered a 5 gallon fire and ice hydrangea. It was pathetic looking... i wouldn't even call it a 3 gallon plant. It just happened to be planted in a 5 gallon pot. That plant arrived damage as well. I also have 3 butterfly bushes that I purchased last august from them and they're already dead. I didn't even get a full season out of them. I've attempted to reach out by creating a ticket, through Facebook, and attempted to call... several times. When I call I sit on hold for 15-20 minutes and an automated message comes on to tell me no one is available to help me. What a waste of my time. I WOULD NOT recommend this company due to the HORRIBLE customer service and poor quality of plants. Good luck getting anything taken care of if your order is right or plants arrive damaged.

Given the options for online nursery orders, know that the choices are wide, the stated sizing more or less accurate, the shipping out speed, and actual packing perfection.

So Far, So Good
September 29, 2020

All shrubs arrived in good shape. The dogwood tree was showing signs of stress. All have been planted and appear to be doing well. The dogwood seems to be recovering. I would order from them again.

Better than expected
October 3, 2019

I received my plants in 95% excellent condition. One plant container had been crushed, but I'm hoping to salvage the plant. Nine plants in one box and all look very healthy.
