The scoop on 'Finch Blueberry Nursery'

I made a large order of several varieties of blueberry starter plants. The order was supposed to be sent out around thanksgiving. When they didn't arrive I contacted Finch's. The person who answered was very polite and helpful. She explained that shipping was delayed a couple of weeks to allow the plants to go dormant. Minimizing the stress on the plants during shipping. The plants arrived a week or two later. Well packaged and all in apparent good health.

last year, spring, i placed 2 orders with finch.of around 300 total plants. they were fine plants. i'm ordering again this year - 07 fall.

I ordered 15 different blueberry varieties. When the order arrived, one variety was missing (hey, no big deal, it was a large order). I sent them an email, and they promptly responded that they would send the missing item. They ended up sending the wrong replacement (a variety I already had). I email them back again. This time, no response. I called them, and the gentleman who answered said they were sending a replacement. The item never arrived.

I emailed them three more times. No responses.

Would advise not ordering from them.

I placed an order for 6 blueberry bushes from Finch Blueberry Nursery this past summer with a promised delivery date of late November. A gentleman at Finch's helped me choose varieties that are expected to do well in my zone 8a climate. I was able to reach someone via phone every time I called during business hours. I wrote several emails with questions and always received a timely reply.

All 6 plants arrived when promised. They were a decent size for the money that I paid for them, a little over $5, I think. All were clearly marked and had good, healthy looking root systems that had been kept moist during shipping. In my opinion, shipping cost were reasonable. Detailed planting and growing instructions were included with the order.

Should I decide that I need more blueberry bushes, I'm ordering from Finch's again. Their knowledge, price and health of their plants beats out anyone in my local area.

I have made several small purchases from Finch Blueberry Nursery. The orders were handled efficiently, and the plants arrived promptly. I was especially impressed by the way they were packed, which made it most improbable that they could dry out en route. The blueberry plants themselves were quite small compared with those I have purchased elsewhere, but all were very healthy, have grown vigorously, and were true to type - obviously the correct cultivar.

My personal experience is that the cultivar info and descriptions on the website have sometimes been quite accurate, but other times much less so. (For example, the descriptions of Brightwell and Delite have matched my experience very well, but the description of O'Neal as "vigorous" not only clashes with my experience, but also with the info found on other websites.)

The prices are extremely reasonable (which is certainly not the case with some nurseries that have fancy websites but exorbitant prices). Overall, I recommend Finch Blueberries as a very reputable business with knowledgeable people, a quality product, and outstanding value.

I want to recommend Finch Blueberry Nursery. I ordered wholesale (large numbers) blueberry plants. I'm not sure how small an order they will accept. Have ordered from Finch Blueberry Nursery in NC before and was thrilled with the results. They give advice on varieties for different areas, time of bearing and are VERY nice people. The plants are individually labeled, beautiful and are ALL doing well about 1year later.
