“Insect damage”

Laura Q.
7/2/24

I received 3 items - a hinoki and 2 cherry laurels. They look great and arrived hydrated. However the leaves of both cherry laurels are riddled with round holes from insect damage. That was disappointing.

“Don't honor their warranty”

The Tree Center US Rated 1 out of 5 stars Purchased 3 trees and received them… Purchased 3 trees and received them infested with bugs. Called and emailed. I did everything they asked me to do and they refused to help. Turned them into the Better Business bureau and the case was closed as Unresolved because they do NOT HONOR THEIR WARRENTY. Stay away from them.

I received the replacement shrubs for the original shrubs that arrived full of bugs and dying. The shrubs that arrived were weak and anemic looking - but I will do my best to liven them up and plant them!

I received my plants and choose not to take the warranty. I paid quite a bit for the size plant I received. I have not complained but found that I can get the same item, even larger, at lowes with the years guarentee if they die. I was a little disappointed in the size as they stated they were to be larger.

The laurels arrived very well packed in a narrow cardboard box. Despite having spent more than a week in transit, they were healthy plants. FedEx took forever to deliver the plants. I ordered the 5 gal size, and they were a little smaller than I expected. I left them out to acclimate to the new area. One plant was larger than the other. I think the smaller plant had been cut to fit in the box. I planted them within the week, and they are doing nicely now. They are smaller than the ones I planted in November, but I think they will grow. They need a lot of water to get started. So far, so good.

I bought two Mountain Fire Pierus 2 Gallon Plants from your company. One was perfect the other was quite a bit smaller and weaker. I have purchased from you several times in the past and have always received beautiful plants. I was a little disappointed this time. The weaker plant is not growing as well as the other plant.

Awful experience! I ordered 9 Hetz Midget Arborvitaes. I had called and spoken with a member of the support team prior to placing the order to ensure I got the size I needed. I was told to expect them to be a minimum of 10-12" up to 13-15". The plants that arrived were 5"; they were half the size than what I was told I would receive. I reached out to the "customer support" team and that's when an already bad experience got worse. I was told by two managers there was nothing they could do - even though it was someone from their company who gave me incorrect advice. I would never recommed anyone I know to order from this company again!

Tip for consumers:
Don’t trust any size guidance provided by the company. The customer service is awful. The company boasts about a 30 day refund policy but the refund is ONLY a store credit AND the returns are at the customers expense.

I bought 5 trees from the tree center. Cost me about $600, I never would have bought them without the guarantee. But when I requested they honor their guarantee, they got denied it. When I went to the BBB, they refunded the guarantee premium, not the trees. Buyer beware these guys are total scammers.

Tip for consumers:
Don't. You will regret it.

The tree bushes had no leafs on them but I planted anyway because they said on the website that they had a 1 year warranty. In spring 1 was dead I called and Christian said they would not replace it because I didn't buy the warranty, I told him it says 1 year warranty he said I didn't buy the warranty. I told him thats false advertising.

Tip for consumers:
Do not buy

I ordered arborvitae trees and one Japanese maple. The arborvitae trees looked great and are doing well. The Japanese maple is a little more delicate and came with some broken branches and a little browning on the leaves. Hopefully it recovers fully. I think it will.

I was under the impression having never ordered plants online that when it said instant garden 1 gallon 3 gallon 5 gallons I was paying for a more adult version of the plant so I justified spending $180 on four only to have the box show up and pretty much plant sticks with a few green leaves in my yard. NEVER AGAIN!

Unethical tactics. If you order something and want to cancel it a moment later they WILL charge you 20% AND nothing was packed or done yet its moments later! Scam artists. Trees are usually in poor shape
Or dying. SAFE YOURSELF SOME HEADACHES. Dont buy here. RIP OFF

Easy ordering- one plant out of six arrived with a few small branches broken. Wish they would have shipped it separately, but very happy overall with service.

Purchased and planted this in late April. Description stated that it's a fast growing versatile plant. It's not. We are disappointed because it is basically the same size now 1½ later.

Packaged perfectly, have been potted and positioned into our gardens. Plan on purchasing more however, you have many species out of stock making us look elsewhere.

My father bought few trees for our new house that he is building, trees arrived pretty quickly and not damaged at all! We think thetreecenter.com deserves 5 stars! Thanks thetreecenter.com!

The trees were abut 3 ft tall and looked healthy. Arrived very promptly. Smooth transaction. I was kept apprised of their arrival time so i was able to coordinate and have them planted soon after.

No one would purchase these plants from the Tree Center if they saw them beforehand. They only replaced one of four ordered and the replacement's leaves were sparse and insect chewed as well

They were received timely and planted within the week. Their response has been pretty good thus far. I look forward to their accelerated growth! I'm reasonably happy with them thus far.

Bought $1500 worth of trees. A month later, most are browning. 14 trees purchased, 7 browning, Tree Center offered to replace 4.
Not the way I expected to be treated.
