I’m thinking of planting a couple of Japanese Red Maples while we’re in early spring. Site seems to have really good prices and a one year guarantee.

Now for questions about this tree. I’ve read information on multiple websites, and much of it is conflicting. The things that are consistent are that they need well-draining soil and slightly acidic soil. Some sites say full sun, others partial sun. Some say lots of water, some say less is better. Just tell me what you know.

Yeah I order from there all the time.

Honestly no issues. The trees/bushes/plants will usually come pruned(so usually no leaves etc) unlike buying them at your local garden center or nursery etc. Which may already have leaves on them

Some varieties can tolerate more sun than others.

Been watching them for a few years and finally pulled the trigger on some blueberry bushes a few weeks ago. Curious how others experience have gone.

I've ordered a couple of trees from there. They have all come very well packaged with zero damage and were very healthy out of the box. Zero issues and wouldn't be hesitant to order from them again.

I ordered a 150 year old Live oak. Shipping was ridiculous.

Bought a maple tree from them last year but it died during the drought no matter how much I watered it. Fast shipping and tree looked good.

This year I ordered a sugar maple from TyTy nursery to replace the dead one and I definitely got more tree at the same price. Both came packaged the same exact way.

Take a look at TyTy nursery also.

TyTy nursery


I've ordered from there too.

The two hydrangeas I got from there were good. Bigger than the one I had locally for a better price.

I also got a dwarf pomegranate tree from there that didn't survive, I have drip irrigation set up.

The two surprises about ordering from tyty that I didn't expect at least for what I ordered. They weren't potted and the roots came already pruned. Which was fine except I wasn't ready to plant them when they arrived. I figured they'd arrive potted and I would just water them until I got ready to plant them. So made me rush to get them in the ground. Might have been why the dwarf pomegranate didn't survive.

2. Their refund policy. Now I don't know what fast growing trees policy is as I haven't had anything die, but I was going to do one for the dwarf pomegranate through tyty. They make you wait several months to ensure its actually dead(somewhat reasonable), to return you have show them a bunch of photos of it being dead, and then they only refund you the cost of the plant and not the shipping for store credit only, which I guess is fine. Anyway, all the made me not want to bother with doing the refund even though I could have gotten one.
