Customer Reviews
Arrived on time and in great condition. Now just waiting!!!
I was extremely pleased with the trees I bought! They arrived sooner than expected and were larger than I thought they would be. I will definitely order from Nativ Nurseries again!
My 5 baby trees arrived in good shape; dirt was still damp. I can hardly wait till they are taller! MDL Virginia
The trees were in good condition, packaged very well, received the next day. We bought trees several times before and planted according to the instructions using tree tubes. The results have been good. Dudley has been very helpful answering questions and adjusting shipping dates. Thanks for making thing easy.
Trees are not shipped bare root so they arrived covered in the most beautiful red leaves since it was fall then they shipped.
Trees were healthy and well packaged. I planted the next day in the ground protected by a grow tube. 2 weeks later they still look great. I guess I'll know for sure in the spring when they start to put on growth.
