We monitor reviews for authenticity
I have made a few purchases with TN Nursery and everything went well. My last order of 5 Milkweeds shipped later than expected so they gave me a few extra. That is great customer service. That is why I just ordered this Mulberry for next spring from them.
Delivery dates need to be more specific or come with updates, specifically when ordering trees or plants that are expected 2-4 months in the future.
My first experience buying a plant from them was very positive. They communicated well through the ordering process, keeping me informed when shipment occurred with expected arrival date. Items were well packaged with simple planting instructions and solid advice on how to care for them after planting. After a year, plants are growing well!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience, Steve! We're delighted to hear your plant is thriving and that our team’s communication and care tips made a positive difference. We truly appreciate your trust and look forward to helping with your green journey for years to come!
I bought several trees last time when they went on sale. They arrived in perfectly shipped boxes w roots very well wrapped and moist, plants in great condition! I can't wait to get these sourwood trees, so I can begin the changes in the pasture!
Silke, we’re thrilled to hear your trees arrived healthy and ready for the pasture transformation you have in mind! Your kind feedback means a lot, and we look forward to continuing to support your growing projects with expert care.
All my previous purchases have been mailed well packaged and all my plants have thrived once in the ground. I think TN Nursery is super!
Thank you so much!
Placed an order, did not receive confirmation email. Tow days latter contacted the support team for status and to requested a change. I was informed that packaging takes 10 to 12 days and no changes are allowed.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Juan. We apologize for the inconvenience with order confirmation and changes, and we'll work on making communication clearer moving forward. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to provide a smoother process next time you shop with us.
Shipping time and quality were great. The first time I ordered, I just didn't realize how long it would take the plants to establish. Worth the wait, though
Erica, thank you for sharing your experience and your patience as your plants put down roots—it’s wonderful to hear that the wait was worthwhile and that the quality met your expectations. We’re always here to help if you have any questions along the way!
Ordered trees and was supposed to ship at a later date, in the fall. So much time went by i forgot and it was late November when I remembered. Ground was almost frozen after i reminded them and they shipped
Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand the concern about timing. Our nursery schedules fall shipments according to plant dormancy and weather patterns to ensure safe arrival and the best survival rate. If your ground wasn’t yet frozen, planting right away was perfectly fine — dormant trees actually establish roots better in cool soil. We do send shipping notifications before orders go out, but we’re happy to coordinate timing in the future if you need a later delivery window. Please reach out to help@tnnursery.net
so we can assist with any future orders.
Shipping takes a while but overall, for me it's worth the wait. Customer service seems to keep things moving and very responsive.
So happy to hear this, thank you so much!
At first I waited for 2 months, then they sent me not a 3-4-foot tree, but 3-4 inches. They were both stunted for 3 months, I managed to support them, and then they just withered, I'm not sure, like the gpt chat, that it was kiwi. I planted the seeds myself, so they are powerful big leaves. Just $47 threw away nerves and time.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and want to help make this right. Our kiwi vines are shipped in a dormant state and may look small or bare when first received — this is completely normal for their growth stage and time of year. Once planted and properly cared for, they typically leaf out vigorously in spring. We encourage you to reach out to our team at help@tnnursery.net
with photos so we can review your order and assist under our guarantee policy. We truly value your business and want your next experience — including your pawpaw trees — to thrive beautifully.
The root systems on the trees I received was not as vigorous as I thought it would be. Hope they grow. I planted quickly and as directed.
Thank you for your feedback and for planting your trees so promptly! 🌳 Fall is actually the best time to plant bare-root trees, even if the roots appear smaller than expected. They’re in their dormant phase, focusing energy on establishing underground before leafing out in spring. You did everything right — just keep the soil moist (not soggy), and you should see healthy new growth once the weather warms. We appreciate your trust in us and wish your trees a strong start this spring!
I am relatively new to TN but for the few orders I have done, I am satisfied with the products that were received. The support videos are very helpful and give you an appreciation of the knowledge and experience offered by TN.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! 🌿
We purchased 6 redbud trees 10 years ago and now we have the most beautiful trees you could imagine. Every season brings so much happiness.
Thank you so much!
I've ordered numerous species of bareroot plants and they arrive well packaged and in very good condition. I'm very pleased with the products that TN Nursery provides!
Thank you so much!
I ordered bulbs previously and was able to request a shipping date and they arrived nicely packaged! I will definitely order from TN Nurseries again.
Thank you so much!
I have purchased some trees that arrived with smashed box, I followed the planting instructions
Only one survived, I had to write many times and send pictures and video before I got credit,
Ayman, we deeply regret that your experience left you disappointed, and we appreciate your patience throughout the process. Your detailed feedback helps us improve how we handle situations like yours, and we’re committed to making every customer’s experience a positive one. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make things right.
I have probably lost about 30% of the trees bought from TN Nursery. No luck with 3 persimmons, 3 pecans and lost 1 Chestnut Oak. Likely my issues and not your stock but I have had better luck with Gurney's and Morse. Your prices are best but packaging does not match that of Gurney's.
Thank you for your honest feedback and continued business! 🌳 We appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad you’ve had some success with your trees. While some losses can occur due to soil, weather, or transplanting conditions, we always aim to send healthy, freshly dug bare-root stock. Our pricing reflects our direct-from-grower model, keeping costs low for our customers. We’ll also pass your feedback about packaging to our shipping team for review. We’re grateful you chose us and hope your new Buckeye Tree thrives beautifully!
I called TN Nursery and and asked some questions about the process of ordering and delivery. I was treated like family, I have received my bushes and I am very pleased with the product. They have been planted and I am looking forward to spring to watch them grow. Thanks TN Nursery you made it all very easy.
Thank you so much!
We ordered trees before and received extras to ensure that a viable tree would reach us... we really appreciated that aspect.
Thank you so much!
Still waiting for Aspen trees due in November with WHITE BARK like in the Rockies NOT Lombardy poplars...
Previously ordered above and received Lombardy poplars which are not the same as the Aspen poplars with the WHITE bark.
Thank you for giving us another chance — we truly appreciate it! 🌳 Rest assured, your Aspen trees are scheduled to ship in November, as noted on our site, since this is the ideal time for dormant planting. We want to clarify that we only sell True Aspen (Populus tremuloides) — the same white-barked species found in the Rockies — not Lombardy Poplars. Once they arrive and leaf out in spring, you’ll see that beautiful white bark develop naturally as they mature. Thank you again for your patience and trust in us!
