Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear the blueberry bushes arrived in great condition. We understand it can be disappointing when a tree arrives smaller than expected, and we appreciate you sharing that feedback. While young peach trees can vary in size at planting, we hope your Redhaven peach settles in well and rewards you with many years of growth and harvests.

Good

Great!! is seeing the blue berry bush you bought last year is growing and beautifully.
While the one I bought this year looks dead,
it's like that with the trees I buy here too. So
frustrating one lives the others die.

A classic high quality nursery

I have known about Stark Brothers for a very long time because my parents loved them. However, last year was the first year I ordered trees using the online process and shipping trees to me. I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful that was - trees arrived healthy and robust and the platform was easy to use. I just reordered berries for Fall planting and feel sure I will quickly receive the same top notch quality.

Healthy and Happy Trees

Every plant or tree I have purchased and there have been many, have been healthy and strong. Everything is growing and appears to be happily growing in my yard. They were fast with delivery and the trees were secure in their packaging. The prices are fair and they have a new customer for life. I am very happy with my little fruit orchard. Thank you for great products.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your rosemary plant and understand how disappointing it is when two plants are growing side by side, yet one suddenly declines and appears to die.

We also understand your frustration regarding your request to have a replacement included with your new garlic order. We want to do everything we can to help. One of our agents will be reaching out to learn more about which rosemary variety was affected so we can review the situation and work on adding a replacement to your order.

We sincerely appreciate your business and the opportunity to make this right.

I have shopped Stark Bros

I have shopped Stark Bros. for more than 40 years. I have always appreciated their quality. Unfortunately, their prices are a bit excessive lately and today's experience was an example. While I was shopping via my computer, I received one price for my plants, I checked on my phone and received an approx. $29.00 lower price for the same order. While I also still got charged for shipping which Stark Bros. used wave shipping with orders over $75.00. Just a bit confusing. I am looking forward to trying these berries.

Reliable plants, always great service

I won't buy fruit trees or bushes anywhere else. I refer all my gardening friends to Stark Brothers, too. The growing information they provide is worth as much as the plants.

I realy like your good color photos of fruit, and would also like to see the tree leaves clearly (sometimes are shown) as well as mature tree size although the tree size is described in text.
I did not like the requirements for a customer number and other number for checkout. I had to bypass that. No way I know my customer number. It was not listed in any emails. For apples, I am looking for disease resistance and potential for reduced insecticides, therefore super sweet apples are not on my list because insects love them as much as humans.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoy the fruit photos, and we really appreciate your suggestion about showing the leaves and mature tree size more clearly. We’ll be sure to pass that along to our team.

We’re also sorry for the frustration with the customer number at checkout. We understand how inconvenient that can be when you don’t know where to find that information, and we appreciate you letting us know.

We also appreciate you sharing what you look for in apple varieties. Disease resistance and reducing the need for insecticides are important considerations, and we hope we can help you find varieties that fit your growing goals!

I've dealt with 4 different companies for my needs and comparisons. Stark was better than 2 others, but room for improvement. I'm still waiting for 2 trees I ordered in the summer. First frost already dropped. If they don't arrive soon they'll die when planted.

Reply from Stark Bro's Nurseries & Orchards Co.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m glad to hear we were better than two of the other companies you’ve worked with, but I’m sorry we haven’t met your expectations completely.

I took a look at your order and have gone ahead and split-shipped the tree that is ready, so it can get on its way to you as soon as possible. I’ve also reached out to our production team to check on the status of the other tree and see if it is ready to ship yet. I’ll do my best to get both trees to you as quickly as we can.

We truly appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right!
