My name is Fred B. from Amarillo, Texas and my first order with Botany Shop consisted of 10 quart & 20 peat pot Thuja Giants and 3 small Alee Elms, 6 small Maples. The plants were all packed with care and I did not even have one of the small Maple leaves break off during shipping. The plants shipped on April 3, 2006 precisely when Botany said they would ship. The Thuja Giants are growing rapidly and the Alee Elms and Maples appear to be healthy. We have planted all of these trees on our farm to the south of Canyon, Texas. We are in the midst of a severe drought and have all of our trees on a drip system with plenty of mulch around them so they should be fine. I have telephoned Botany Shop regarding other plant issues and they have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely buy from the Botany Shop and my friends will also be placing orders from them. Thanks, Botany Shop

Now into my 3rd year and most of the Thuja Giants have either died are only grown a few inches. Do not know if it is the dry windy climate but these have been fertilized and watered as perscribed but to little avail. The Alee Elms are doing fine as are the Maples.

I ordered two butterfly bushes from this nursery and they sent them on 9/12 and they arrived at my door 9/14. They were beautiful! One was as large as the same plant I ordered from another nursery three years ago for $24, only these I received today were just $7 apiece. Shipping costs are great and packing is too. I didn't expect much for $7 but I was very pleasantly surprised. They also answer emails promptly, another plus. Thank you Botany Shop! You made me very happy!

The butterfly bushes did not survive our very mild winter. The knockout rose is doing well. I emailed them over a month ago to inform them of this and they just now replied back that I'd do better to plant butterfly bushes in the spring or summer. I've planted two of my best performing BB bushes in the fall and they made it through very cold winters. I guess I wasted $14 on nothing. I suggest that if you order from them, stick with the Thugas or the Knockout roses. I'm no longer impressed.
