I ordered red dogwood trees and they arrived in a timely manner in good condition and they were planted in my yard and thrived.
Site stated buy one and get one free.
Will shortly open the tree bag, but it looks like only one tree.
Are you sending a second tree?

Lost $5 credit on original order - no response from customer service.
Trees never grew. Customer service said - no warranty.
After posing negative review TN reached out and gave me $49 store credit on a $63 order
I ordered 50 eastern red cedar trees just before spring and planted them in southeastern az and only a couple of them died which was my fault because I planted them in very rocky un fertile soil. I did that to try and mimick what happened in the cedar of Lebanon state park in Tennessee but just because they're both rocky doesn't make them the same! The rest have lived through the very dry and hot summer which it was unusually dryer and hotter this year for being the high desert and compliments to tn nursery for sending me some very healthy trees to start out with. I'm now ordering 50 more fruit trees and with my permaculture setup they will do great on an east facing hill.
The plants are shipped bare root and dormant, so if you've never dealt with this before it can be a bit of a shock to open up the box and find what looks like dead sticks with roots. But I was expecting that (LOL) and I'm excited for spring. They came in Nov, so they are still dormant, but so far they're still alive as far as I can tell. I'll know more when they wake up in the spring.

The newsletters that come from this nursery are awesome and have been extremely helpful in my backyard garden. The plants and trees arrive in healthy condition and ready to plant. I will order again and again.
Thank you so much!
The website is easy to use. Plants are well packed and arrive in good condition. The selection of plants allows me to grow plants not available in many varieties locally. I've never had a problem with any of the plants I've ordered.
Thank you so much!
I bought 6 pawpaw trees and they sent 7. I promptly got them potted and in a greenhouse, ready to plant in a few months. Hopefully I'll be able to update this review when I have mature pawpaws!

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.
Thank you so much!
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Karen, and for highlighting areas where we can improve. We're actively working on providing more precise delivery dates and timely updates to ensure your future orders brighten your garden with the same strong, healthy plants you expect. We look forward to exceeding your expectations again soon!
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! 🌿

This is so awesome to hear. I would love to see pictures of them. If you could do a Google review, it will let you post pics of them. I love seeing our trees doing great in their new environment!
