“Which plant was it you want me to review?”

Robert U.
7/25/24

It would help if the email for the review listed WHAT I purchased! I'm landscaping a side yard so I'm ordering a lot of plants online and I don't recall that your info with the plant had anything about TN nursery on it, so I don't know what I'm supposed to review. However, everything I've ordered has arrived with no problems, on time and healthy. They are all flourishing so I suppose that's a good review.

“This is a scam company.”

I am a professional arborist. All of the root stock I purchased was labeled incorrectly. They refused to correct the issue. Their main concern was to keep the money, not good customer service. The better business bureau is filled with complaints about them. Beware...

I recently attempted to purchase two pitch pine trees from Tennessee Wholesale Nursery. When the trees arrived I was disappointed to see that they had sent me to Scrub pine trees instead. The trees were shipped well, healthy and in good condition but were just the incorrect species. I had to leave 2 voicemails before I received a call back and during that call back I was informed I would need to send pictures to verify what I had received. I took the time to send the pictures and even included an email explaining the difference between Pitch pine (the trees I had ordered) and Scrub pine (the trees I received). In response, Tennessee Wholesale Nursery replied with a one sentence email saying that "their management team had reviewed the pictures I sent and determined I was sent the correct trees." I am an arborist with a degree in horticulture and 20 years experience in the nursery industry with a special interest in native plants. Side note: this is not the first time I have received the incorrect plants from this nursery but it will be the last time. The management team of Tennessee Wholesale Nursery is either not aware of what they are growing or they are intentionally sending folks the wrong plants and hoping they will not notice. I recommend not purchasing from this nursery unless you are able to do so in person and verify you are getting the correct plants.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NONE OF THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE FROM VERIFIED PURCHASERS!

Among verified purchases they have all 1 star reviews - because that's the lowest number. If there was a zero star option they'd have zero.

I've ordered 7 bushes, 3 vines, and gotten a "free" set of two flowers. While I'll admit I'm not a master gardener, I've certainly grown more than my share of things. I've tried planting according to the directions, and then ignoring the directions and planting based on my own knowledge. Even planted in a controlled greenhouse environment. Nothing they've ever shipped me has been live.

Worse, when you contact "customer service" they ask you to jump through hoops, then when you do they have more hoops, then more hoops - I eventually said they could replace my order or I'd file a chargeback with my bank. FINALLY they made good on their warranty. And sent me more pre-killed stuff.

Save your time and spend a little more elsewhere. Fast growing trees dot com was FANTASTIC - yes, more expensive, but everything arrives ready to grow, and if there is a problem they just replace it, rather than trying to get you to give up because of all the hoops.

AVOID. Tennessee Wholesale Plant Mortuary is a better name.

I wasn't going to leave a review, but this really left a bad taste in my mouth. I ordered six lowbush blueberry plants last year from this site, and six others from another nursery (Raintree). As soon as i opened the bag from tnnursery.net I knew there was going to be trouble, since they were clearly stool layered without enough time to develop proper roots. There were barely any roots visible at all.

As expected, all of them died, while all six of the lowbush plants I ordered from Raintree thrived in exactly the same conditions with exactly the same care.

Chalk it up to a loss - I was going to leave it there. Then, I recently got an email from them asking if I wanted to continue receiving the newsletter, and noting that if I didn't click the subscribe link I wouldn't receive any more emails. Wanting to be helpful I responded to their email address (not a noreply address or something auto-generated, but their usual sales email) indicating why I wasn't interested. I then started receiving multiple messages per day from them. So either:

1. A salty employee signed me up for extra messages in response to my complaint
2. Their IT infrastructure/practice is as bad as the plants I received

0/10 do not recommend.
