| Beware of this company. I have a very bad experience with this company. I ordered $700 worth of trees from their websites and I got an email from as follows:
============================
I immediately sent an email to cancel the order and left a voice mail too. But they ended-up charging my credit card. I called the credit card company and they told me that they cannot refund my money as Tennessee Nursery (tnnursery.net) has already dug my trees. This is a total FRAUD and I am leaving them messages and they will not even return my call, even though I have given them my cell number. Please make due diligence before you proceed with this FRAUDULENT company. Thanks, Ajay |

| I also had an issue with tnnursery. I had been looking for a couple of years for a source of Painted Trillium (trillium undulatum). I ran across their website and they had this plant. I ordered 100 and also 100 Shooting Start(dodecatheon meadia). They arrived within a week and looked great. When the trillium started blooming this past spring they were not T.undulatum, they were the Nodding Trillium (T.flexipes). I contacted the company, spoke with Tammy, who immediately got defensive and said they had the right to substitute. I found this odd, since I had talked to her and another employee twice during the ordering process and was assured what they were offering was T. undulatum and they had over 16,000 plants available. The reason for the concern was I had ordered from another company the previous year and did not get T. undulatum, but another species of trillium. Tammy's response after the substiution comment was that I could return the plants, I asked how,I couldn't dig them up at that point. After this phone call they would not respond to any e-mails. The company's attitude really turned me off and after reading posts here and on other forums about tnnursery I see there is reason to take a second thought before dealing with them ever again. I hate this, because the items I recieved were wonderful plants and rhizomes, but were not what was ordered. Use caution if you decide to order. Also, DNT Tree Farm and Quick Growing Trees are 2 of the apparently numerous companies under the umbrella of tnnurery wholesale. The Tennessee Attorney General should be looking into this company(ies). |

| I was Sued By Tennessee Wholesale Nursery. I purchased bare root plants from this company in the Spring of 2011. I was not happy with my purchase and I felt the company could have offered to do a whole lot more to stand behind their products. Being dissatisfied with their policies, I posted a negative review of this company on the Garden Watchdog section of a prominent gardening forum by gardeners for gardeners. The company apparently took exception to my review on this site because they sued me for defamation (Libel) and damages in the amount of $13,000.00 plus court costs and attorney fees. The trial took place in Grundy County Tennessee General Sessions Court on September 27, 2011 and lasted approximately 4 hours. I drove from Maryland to Tennessee to appear in court to defend myself with the help of the local attorney I hired. The judge reached his verdict on October 7, 2011. He dismissed this case against me "for lack of jurisdiction" in Tennessee (I am from Maryland) and also because "the plaintiffs (the nursery) failed to establish a prima facie case of defamation". Who would have thought that spending $220.30 at an online nursery in Tennessee would end up with me having to appear in court and spending thousands of dollars in travel expenses and attorney fees to defend myself from a lawsuit which started out as a $220.30 purchase? |

| Noted on 4-3-2013 - Tennessee Wholesale Nursery is currently using the following business names and e-mail addresses: Tennessee Wholesale Nursery, www.tennesseewholesalenursery.com; Quick Growing Trees, www.Quick-growing-trees.com; The Tree Nursery, www.tnnursery.net; DNT Tree Nursery and DNT Tree Farm, www.dntnursery.com; Trees-Plants, www.tree-plants.com and Tn Tree Nursery (Native Tree & Plant Nursery), www.tnnursery.net Many of these websites post a policy statement in their warranty section which states that if you attempt to get a chargeback from your credit card company the business will add $250.00 or 10% of the order to the customer's balance regardless of the circumstances. BE AWARE OF THIS POLICY. Also, note that Tennessee Wholesale Nursery has an "F" rating with the Chattanooga, Tn Better Business Bureau, with 70 complaints listed. I find myself wondering why a business operates under so many different names. |
