“Nature Hills Nursery”

Henry S.
3/15/24

This is the 3rd and 4th time I have used Nature Hills Nursery ever since last year. I've had two landscapers down here in Texas that my Lilacs, Magnolia tree aren't and don't grow here in Texas. Well after a year ago, they are growing and blooming. Someone here also told me Pink Dogwood trees face the same fate. Well, we'll find out as my trust in the quality of Nature Hills Nursery products goes against the thinking of these native Texans!

“Very Unhappy”

Amanda K.
10/10/24

I ordered trees about a month before the appropriate planting season for my location. I am now at the end of that planting season and the trees still haven't shipped. I have called every week for the past month, they are still unable to provide an estimate on when the trees will ship. I expressed a concern that the trees will likely not have time to establish a root system now before the hard frost in my area and will likely die. However, despite this I have been advised that I will be charged a 20% fee if I cancel, despite purchasing the 1 year warranty. I do not recommend using this nursery.

They were amazing shipments. However they need IT help. Tried to upload a pic 10 times and would not let me, but just realized that is not their issue. It is sitejapper's issue.

I placed an order on NatureHills.com for Purple Robe Locust Tree. After placing the order, I called a cousin who warned me about the tree so I called them within the same hour of purchasing and requested to cancel after I couldn't find a way to do it on my own on the website. The first time I called, I spoke to * who claimed he could provide me with a gift card for a future purchase, the second time I called, I was told the same thing. Both times I was advised the terms and conditions has the cancellation policy, which is not in the first fold of the page and isn't typical for a purchase path decision. Typically cancellation fees are prominent in or above the first fold of a websites page. I tried explaining this both times and no resolution was found. I attempted to cancel my order both times but they advised I have to accept either a gift card, hold of fund for future purchase or a refund reduced by the 10% cancellation fee. It's a deceptive business practice and not inline with what other online nurseries charge. I have filed a complaint with Nebraska AGO for the deception and am waiting for a response.

Purchased 5 Perfecta Trifecta Butterfly Bushes on 10/30/2019 for the sum of $199.75 with free shipping.
Questioned wheather to ship order then or in the spring. They advised to plant them now as this would help develope a better root system for spring growth. Bad advice as all five plants did not survive a very mild winter in southern Virginia. Contacted them this spring to see about their replacement policy. Was advised their policy was to replace the plants at onehalf the original cost after seeing pictures of the dead plants. Spent about two hours trying to send pictures to their faulty web site and finally gave up and wrote them a letter. They informed me they were currently out of stock but would notify me when they received more. A few days latter I received notification they were back in stock so called to replace them at their half price offer & they gave me a new price of $92.38. I didn't know what the tax would be so asked for the total price before placing this new order. Hear is the big catch they want to charge a $50.00 shipping fee thus making the new cost $142.38 or 71% of the original cost. Even though their current shipping fee is $9.95 on all new orders & free shipping on orders over $139. Needless to say more! Would never order again from this company nor recommend them to anyone. Would rather write off my original cost than give them another dime. Asked to speak to a supervisor who was not available so left message to call me back. Guess what never heard from him. Only a fool would use this company.

Verified purchase

First and last time ordering from this company. The Whitewater Weeping Redbud tree they shipped to me is a scraggly, possibly diseased tree that has very few leaves, yet it is tall considering the size of the pot (2 gallon size yet the tree is nearly 4 feet tall.) Most of the leaves are browned on the edges, a few are completely dead, and quite a few of them have insect damage. They have offered to accept a return only if I pay the return shipping costs (I paid $30 shipping when I bought it) and will also levy a 40% restocking fee. The phoen rep I spoke to when I called to check on shipping status was snarky and told me they would send shipping confirmation when they shipped (the order confirmation makes the same claim) yet it arrived two days later and I never got the shipping confirmation. When I called to discuss the condition of the tree, the rep I spoke to (not sure f it was the same one) had a similar attitude. I have purchased previously from several other online nurseries and always received product that matched the descriptions and was in excellent healthy condition. Fastgrowingtrees and thetreecenter are both excellent but Nature Hills was the only vendor with this tree in stock. Never again.

Buy from a more reputable online nursery

Happy with their products, but after you've ordered, they will relentlessly hound you with emails requesting reviews.
