I've had a great experience with everything I've ordered from Stark Bros. They make sure you know what grows well in your zone and back it up with their 1 year survival guarantee.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve had such a great experience with your Stark Bro’s orders. We love helping customers find plants that are a good fit for their growing zone, and we’re glad our 1-year guarantee gives you some extra peace of mind. We really appreciate you choosing Stark Bro’s and hope you continue to enjoy everything you grow!
Thank god for credit card chargeback - do not shop with Stark Bros
I’ve only ever placed 2 orders with Stark Bros and both times it went south. Do not shop with them!
My first order was a nectarine tree and gooseberry bushes. The tree didn’t survive the winter, so I filed a warranty claim that was accepted. Thinking that all was handled, I placed a second order for a few berry bushes.
My warranty refund comes in and it’s $12 for a $60 tree. I contact support and they give me the runaround saying that they will correct it soon. Then my second order comes in missing 3 out of the 4 items. I contact them again and they do give me a refund, because all 3 items are actually out of stock. Meanwhile, they keep saying that they will eventually give me the rest of the refund for the tree and eventually just stop responding to my emails completely (what an amazing quality of customer service).
I find out that they have a service phone line and decide to call it. The rep is polite, but for some reason can’t get it through her head that the refunds they gave me are for two different orders and the first refund is still incomplete. I give her both of the order numbers, sit there and explain my entire email customer service history, reiterate that the damn tree from my first order costs $60, but I got a refund for $12, and the second refund for the second order has nothing to do with the first one.
She says she’ll talk to her manager and who is then supposed to call or email me the same day.
As one would expect at this point, I get nothing. Not that day, not the next day, not now.
I read another review on Google that mentioned that Stark Bros actually does something in response to reviews here and was considering waiting a bit before filing a chargeback on my credit card, but why should I? I’ve been fighting with them for months at this point and they had so many chances to rectify the issue and stop ghosting me. Last time I dealt with a similar vendor where only a part of the order was causing an issue, my credit card company forced the vendor to refund the entire order, even though I did not ask for that. I’m going to ask for more than I’m owed this time either, but I won’t be upset at the prospect of Stark Bro’s losing more money.

Flora, I'm sorry for the frustration and confusion around your refunds - that's completely understandable, and you deserved a clearer answer sooner than you got one.
I want to gently push back on one thing, though: our team wasn't giving you the runaround. There was a genuine mix-up in how your two orders' refunds and credits interacted behind the scenes, and while our reps were trying to work through it with you, we didn't explain it in a way that actually made sense - that's on us, not a lack of effort on our end.
I've personally reviewed your full account history and I want to make sure this is completely and correctly resolved. I'm reaching out to you directly by email with the full details and next steps. Thank you for your patience, and I'm sorry it took this long to get you a straight answer.

I have bought many plants from Stark Brothers over 20 years at least. It is rare that I have any issues with the plants except for this time when the box was damaged and so was the plant - so sad! But Stark Bro's is replacing the damaged plant within a couple days. Thank you! This is why I buy my plants from you. Good product and good, prompt service.

I have purchased dozens of trees and berry plants from Stark Bros. over years. The plants have always been in excellent health. Those for which pruning is applicable have been beautifully pruned. These thriving plants give me so much joy! They also make it easy for me to donate fruit to my community.

Love doing business with Stark Brothers! Very responsive! We purchased one of their specials with three varieties of strawberry plants (which we can't buy locally but always wanted to try). They got a slow start, but one variety is putting out lots of runners. Stark Brothers said they would get established in year one and be more productive in year two. The strawberries we got were very flavorful. We have them in containers because our dogs decided they liked them too! Looking forward to doing more business with Stark Brothers!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear your replacement plants arrived green and intact, but we’re very sorry about the condition of your Honeyberry plants and the issues you’ve experienced with your recent shipments. We understand how frustrating it is to receive plants that have been in transit for an extended period and arrive wilted or damaged.
We’ll have an agent reach out to you today to discuss these concerns and see how we can help. We truly appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right!

Try them and you'll like them!
I've purchased several Stark Bros trees, berries, grapes, etc over the years. I believe their stock is better than what I could buy in a big box store, but what I really value is their great customer services that help people succeed. Planting a fruit tree is a long-term project from planting to first successful harvest. Brooke and the others will answer your specific questions when you don't find an answer in their FAQ section. The pruning/planting videos are also very helpful. Try them and you'll like them. God's blessings to them all!

Lots of apples on a tiny tree.
My little apple tree took off in its third year. Only an inch in diameter it has 40 bright red apples. It is the envy of the neighborhood.

Great products
I’ve purchased many things from Stark’s over the years and their products are great. I will say that I ordered strawberries from two different companies, and the ones from Stark Bros.’ are the only ones that survived.

Loyal StarkBro’s customer
I have been a StarkBro’s customer for many years and only slowed recently because we ran out of room on our 2 acres, lol! But with the purchase of our 12 acre property last year, plan on being a StarkBro’s customer for many more years, because your company has consistently provided great products and services.

Purchasing is a easy experience
Purchasing is a easy experience. Shipping must be an adventure. Second time I've received a damaged box that appears the freight company repaired box with extra tape.
Fingers crossed the trees survive.
