I received the correct plants, but the labels were mixed up between the two kinds I ordered. I accidentally placed them in the wrong spots in my yard because of the mix up.

Thank you for your review, and I’m really sorry the labels were mixed up — that can definitely make planting confusing. The good news is that I can help you identify which plant is which so you can correct the placement if needed.

Please email me a couple of photos of each plant at help@tnnursery.net, and I’ll tell you exactly which variety is which.

I’m glad your previous plants are doing well, and I’m here to help make sure these do too!

So far, this nursery has done well. Shipped nice trees and am waiting for spring for them to bud out. I just ordered more with the buy one get one offer.

Northern spicebush
January 7, 2026

Northern spicebush received after ground was frozen in fall 2024 so wintered in outside pots. Plants did not come back in spring 2025.

Thank you for your review, and I’m really sorry to hear your Northern Spicebush didn’t come back this spring. Even when the ground is frozen, dormant bare-root shrubs can still be planted as long as the soil can be dug — wintering them in pots can be tricky because they freeze harder above ground than they do in the soil.

Please email me at help@tnnursery.net with photos of the plants and your order number, and I’ll be happy to review this for you and help you with the next steps. We want you to have a good experience with us and we’ll do our best to make it right.

Decent price for excellent quality

Updated review

Purchased a quantity of red bud seedlings in 2025. Arrived in good bare-root condition and nearly every one seemed to grow well in their first season. Naturalized in the edge of woodlands.

Undecided
January 1, 2026

I ordered 4 Paw Paw trees which were on the pricey side. I paid for them because they were supposed to be 4-5 feet tall. The trees never arrived and when I called the nursery they told me the trees were returned and sitting right here. I reconfirmed my address, I get deliveries almost daily, and they resent the same trees. I bring this up because they are bare root trees. When they arrived the roots were very dry and I planted them immediately, also they are only 3 feet tall. I called back and shared my concerns because I don't think the trees will survive. I was told we are notating your concerns and call us back next Spring if they do not sprout new growth. The whole experience is not confidence inspiring. My advice is go to your local nursery, lay eyes on the plants/trees you want to buy and at least you will know they were alive when you bought them. I have no idea if I paid over $200 for dead or alive trees.

Thank you for your review, and I’m truly sorry this experience has felt uncertain. I completely understand your concerns, especially with pawpaws being more delicate and slow to wake up.

Regarding the delivery issue — the first shipment was returned to us by the carrier without explanation, even though the address you confirmed was correct. When we were notified of the return, we dug and shipped a fresh new set of pawpaw trees, not the returned ones. We never resend plants that have been in transit.

Bare-root pawpaw trees will naturally look dry and simple when dormant, and their roots won’t appear moist like container-grown plants. This is normal for the season and not a sign of poor health. Pawpaws also leaf out later than many other species, which is why we advise checking for new growth in spring.

If yours appear under the listed size range, please email me photos at help@tnnursery.net, and I’ll gladly review them for a size-difference credit.

We truly want you to feel confident in what you purchased, and I’m here to help you all the way through spring. If you need planting guidance or want us to check the trees’ viability, just reach out anytime.

Rattlesnake Plantain has done well
December 27, 2025

I purchased a few rattlesnake plantains and they have done well. I'm hoping to plant the golden seal and the running cedar at the same location.

Very nice, though I was inexperienced at first in how to handle bare root trees. I lost a few because I couldn't get them planted right away once they arrived.

The dogwoods I ordered died immediately
December 27, 2025

My husband and I are avid gardeners, both with landscaping and growing vegetables for years. These trees we purchased were alive when we received them but they began to die right away.

Thank you for your review, and I’m truly sorry to hear about your dogwoods. Even with lots of gardening experience, dormant bare-root trees can be tricky because they look alive on arrival but need very specific handling in the first few weeks.

I’d be happy to take a look and see what happened. Please email me photos at help@tnnursery.net, including a quick scratch test on the stems, and I’ll make sure you’re taken care of according to our warranty.

Your service has been good. Today, I could not use a billing address a PO Box) separate from my home address. I hope this doesn't cause an issue with my payment method.
Please affirm or deny (in your marketing) that you are growing all your own plants and not harvesting wild plants. I'm suspicious. I hesitate to buy because of that and because your plant description are so vague. Botanical names are important, please use them.

Terrible customer service

2 plants never grew for over a year and now they only give a store credit and not reship me 2 plants so the first time was free shipping this time I have to pay for shipping costing me 17.58.

Thank you for your feedback. I want to clarify how our warranty works so there’s no confusion. Our standard warranty covers the plant cost only—not shipping—and replacements are issued as store credit. Shipping is always paid by the customer, both on the original order and on any warranty claims. This has always been our policy and is standard across bare-root nurseries since shipping carriers charge separately for each delivery.

If you’d like help choosing your replacement persimmons or want me to check viability photos, please email me at help@tnnursery.net
and I’ll be happy to assist.
