Just before Thanksgiving 2008 a friend and I went together and ordered-
12 1 gallon Southern Magnolias
3 Mollies Delicious Apples
1 Gala Apple
1 Ein Shemer Apple
1 Granny Smith Apple
1 Housi Pear
1 Chojuro Pear
1 Moonglow Pear
1 Orient Pear
1 Santa Rosa Plum
1 Burbank Plum
1 Methley Plum
1 Sam Houston Peach
1 LaFeliciana Peach
1 Junegold Peach
and 1 Sunred Nectarine
The fruit trees were an equal mix of 2 year and 5 gallon sized trees, so needless to say, this order arrived in a semi. It was shipped quickly and the charges for the shipment were fair.
Bob was very helpful with variety selection and hints for planting in our particular situation...the area where we wanted to put the trees can get very wet. He recommended planting on raised mounds, which has worked great. The only problem we have had with any of the trees is a mild case of Fireblight that developed on the Moonglow pear, which I was able to prune out. I will definitely buy from him again and recommend him to others.
I have ordered bare root tree stock and plants from all the major nurseries in North Texas. My experience with Bob Wells Nursery (2-3 sales interactions) ranks at the TOP of my experiences with nurseries. Their staff is knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and stock has been "as good and is generally better" than other comparable nurseries. Plants are wrapped well and shipped to survive truck or UPS transit in the ugly Texas weather. I rate them 5 stars. T. Irvine, Waco,Texas
I have purchased a number of fruit trees, berry plants, and pines from Bob and have been VERY happy with the service, price, and knowledge of the entire staff! I'll return year after year for my garden needs.
I ordered 3 mimosa trees.
The trees arrived so fast.
The trees are beautiful. I did not expect such beautiful trees.
The shipping for 3 trees was only $19.50. They were packaged in a large box.
I will for sure do more business with this company.
This is the best company I have purchased plants/trees from.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. They helped me select the right varieties for my area, took my order, collected all the plants and even loaded them into my truck for me. :) I bought from them locally.
I ordered several fruit trees last month. No problems with shipment. There was a little mix up about my order but it was easily straightened out. Good people to work with.
