Only two of 4 trees arrived and they are dead. They were supposed to arrive yesterday and got here today evening. No receipt was provided and I had to struggle with customer service to get anything done.
Spireas almost dead when received, watered and planted. Husband weed wacked them before I could get a scratch test photo so no credit. Dogwoods planted in 10 different locations on 3 properties, all watered regularly, leaves appeared then all 10 died. Flowers were mushy when planted, they died. Everything from 4 orders died except for witch hazel & forsythia.
TN changed warranty policy and was not going to honor it until I made a big stink about it. I provided the requested photos and they did not give me store credit for all 3 dogwood trees even after I pointed out that they shorted me about $36 dollars worth of dogwood trees. They were too busy to respond to my email request to replace about 5 plants that arrived in bad condition almost dead. After I purchase plants in the fall with whatever credit they issue me I will not be back to this nursery. Sorry. Bad customer experience from start to finish...
I spoke on the phone with Karen. She was courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a fast transaction and I like their service. This is not my first time dealing with TN Nursery. I highly recommend them.
Thank you so much!
Ordered virginia bluebells, trillium, bloodroot. Virginia bluebells are the most reliable though size of rhizomes does vary from one order to another. Bloodroot hard to keep going in my yard...
Thank you so much!
This is my second time ordering, and I was greatly pleased with my first order that we tried again. I will add this tree with my other one and hopefully benefit greatly.
Thank you so much!
Glad to get a Santa Rosa plum ree. Mine old tree is over 20 years old.
My previous order only 2 out of 6 survived. The morning after I received them I planted them. I let the roots soak in water for about 10 min cause they seemed dried out and almost dead. Regardless, I want to try you guys again and hopefully i will have a different outcome. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much!
Not good, items were on clearance and thus were not guaranteed. I did not see that at the time I placed the order. All items died.
Lee, thank you for sharing your experience with us—we truly appreciate your honesty. We're sorry the clearance items didn’t meet your expectations, and we genuinely care about your satisfaction. Please reach out so we can make this right.
So I ordered several trees from TN Nursery for a great price. The problem is there is zero shipping info. Just wish I would know when my trees will show up.
When you put in your email, we will send you an email as soon as your trees ship. If you email me, I can add it, so you will get shipping updates! help@tnnursery.net - bailey
Ordered a large quantity of plants earlier this year. Most all have made it through a brutal drought this summer. Some didn't make it.
Thank you so much!
All plants came in healthy, but all but 1 died within 6 months, Despite excellent care they could not apparently take the Phx. Heat.

Daniel, it’s wonderful to hear how well your Redbuds have thrived and that you’ve already added more blooming favorites to your garden. Thank you for sharing your exciting growth journey—we’re excited to continue supporting your planting plans this season!

The 5 white pines I planted this spring did not survive. We will see if these fare better being planted in the fall.

I ordered trees and bluebells. Trees are still coming, but the bluebell roots and shoots look very healthy. [Unlike some u ordered last year from a different company]. I am looking forward to them growing in my forest understory.
Can't really rate since previous order has not yet come
We purchased 12 trees to form a privacy fence. They are 2 years old and have performed as promises!
Thank you so much!
I ordered and received what looked like sticks. Planted them immediately and they quickly took off and greened up with many sprouts and leaves. Only disappointed they topped the trees so they grow sideways branches instead of straight up like they should.
Thank you so much for your kind review! 🌿 We’re thrilled to hear your Ginkgo trees are thriving — that’s wonderful news! We do lightly top our young trees before shipping to encourage strong lateral branching and a fuller canopy as they mature. This helps them develop into well-shaped, healthy trees long-term. We truly appreciate your order and love hearing about your success!
