Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

After waiting 3 1/2 weeks for my Windmill Palm with 4 phone calls of long holds and personal who shifted blame among nearly never presently staffed departments, one of which even told me the item was shipped? I was finally told the item was not in stock they do not know when it will be and yet they still offer it on their site. This business is shady at best. They claim their normal course of business is not to send email confirmations with shipping info or tracking numbers. Whaaat was I thinking, there are plenty of reputable nurserys online, even Amazon.

I am so untrusting of this establishment I have put my credit card on notice of future scams or charges.
The nursery at TYTY
What a waste of time.

Ty Ty Nursery has an utterly deplorable reputation in the gardening community. Do a search for "Ty Ty Nursery Complaint" in any search engine, and read the long sometimes colorful threads on many gardening messageboards. You will begin to get an idea how this company typically operates. It has gotten so bad that many individuals do not even mail-order from GA anymore-- simply to avoid the many affiliate companies under different names, all with service equally as rude and incompetent.

My personal experience with Ty Ty nursery back in 2004 was just utterly ridiculous. My 4 plants were shipped LOOSE, sliding around in the triangle box, getting beaten up and broken during transit. I received them and all 4 items died within a week, despite my horticultural expertise. I contacted Ty Ty Nursery about replacement / refund and they demanded I ship back the dead plants to them. Then they said I had to pay an additional 25% of my original order to cover replacement shipping...? Obviously, all of this was caused by negligent shipping on their part. I had in essence already paid for "careful shipping" as advertised on their website. I never received the service I had paid for. What I got was negligent, incompetent shipping-- 4 tender plants, bare-root, thrown loose into a box. They died. What does the company expect? It's terrible business practice to place any responsibility on the customer -- see Retail : 101.

I described to them these exact circumstances, I even had pictures to send them if need be. Instead of initiating any kind of customer retention measure, they instead argued with me saying I was "being uncompliant" with their replacement policies. I refuted this stupidity, and they came back at me with "your plants were shipped outside their designated climate zone, so they're not covered" (it was summer and climate was not a factor). It went on like this for three letters back & forth to a uniquely defensive and shamefully anti-customer manager named "Rick."

Even after filing with the BBB, they did not issue a refund. Only another rude letter. Needless to say, I never saw that money again. I, like many others, have simply taken to discouraging people from buying at Ty Ty Nursery whenever it comes up. In the gardening community today, getting ripped of by Ty Ty Nursery is kind of a harsh "rite of passage" into the hobby of serious plant collecting. Almost everybody does it, and then never buys there again. We can only spread the word, and hope that future victims hear our loud complaints.

Sooner or later, the company will have clean up their act... or there won't be any more customers for them to rip off.

I ordered windmill palm trees from them 6 weeks ago. I have called them 4 times and each time was told they had been shipped. When I called this morning, the phone goes to a "do not disturb" message. The 800 number they have is not in service. I have contacted the Georgia Department of Consumer Affairs (as this will do any good).

The Georgia consumer affairs actually may be able to help you. That is a good idea.

I remember reading an investigative report 5+ years ago which has long been removed from the internet due to legal saber-rattling from Ty Ty Nursery. It went into some detail about their rather despicable business practices & history. Ty Ty Nursery, in many previous years, has gotten more officially reported customer complaints about their nursery than all other nurseries in the entire of GA combined! That is not something they would want the public to hear.

Their bait is the colorful, bombastic (redneck?) modeling-agency advertising on their website. They have spent considerable time and effort on the website making themselves look professional. If only they spent a fraction of those resources on customer service and good competent plant labeling / shipping practices, the company might have some positive feedback.

I remember years ago when they had a file on the Garden Watchdog website (public company experience discussions, for purposes of consumer protection), and it was about 90% negative comments, a long page full of very angry customer responses. Ty Ty Nursery became aware of the website. Representatives / affiliates from Ty Ty Nursery would then create a bunch of accounts, and post positive responses to try and stem off the flow of active negative commentary from former customers. The moderator of the Garden Watchdog site caught on (most of the positive reports were posted from the same internet IP address; a single computer) and began to neutralize the false positives.

Then Ty Ty got the lawyers involved and forced Garden Watchdog to shut down their entry on Ty Ty Nursery altogether, under threat of libel (even though it was simply an open public forum, and all negative accounts were from individual, genuinely swindled customers). That is why you won't find a file on this company at Garden Watchdog anymore, even though they are a predominant internet nursery presence.

Unfortunately for me, I had not read these comments prior to ordering from Ty Ty Nursery. So the misfortune of having a terrible experience with them is mine too. What is most startling, though, is that their incomprehensibly rude behavior didn't even occur pursuant to an argument.

On July 22, 2009, I called to ask how I would go about returning a recently-purchased tree that had dies. After being on hold for some time, a mature-sounding man got on the phone. I started to tell him about my dead tree. He interrupted me and told me to be quiet! He then said that I had to fill out the replacement form on line, and promptly hung up. I printed the form and had trouble filling it out. So I called back and asked what one of the questions meant. He again gave a curt answer and hung up again. Still not knowing how to complete the form, I called back and no one answered. I called back again and got the "do not disturb" telephone prompt.

In my disbelief, I did a web search and found this feedback. TY TY's actions are so abominable that they don't even fall under the umbrella of bad customer service: they are plain crazy!

TyTy overcharged me, when i received my plants I reviewed the invoice and the prices were different from listed on the website. I called to ask about this and they said they just lowered the prices, i said thats impossible because i remember seeing these low prices when i ordered thats the whole reason i ordered. He replied with I am sure we just changed the prices, the price you charged was accurate at the time being...I must be a future teller to know that they were gonna lower their prices, those suckers ripped me off for over $50, i haven't even looked through the packaging to make sure all my plants are there yet, I am about to do that when i get home from work (wish me luck).

I had an almost identical experience as Timothy above. I so wished I had read this before making a $200 purchase for 2 pecan trees. Maybe I should submit myself for stupidity for not doing that before buying. I am also an experienced gardener and have planted many, many trees and bushes but have never had the case in which both plants showed no sign of life -- ever! This is what I said in a complaint letter (to which I have heard nothing):

Dear Patrick Malcolm [manager]:

I am writing you about two Cape Fear Pecans that I purchased last summer. I received them in December, planted them within a week and they never sprouted nor shown any sign of life. I have talked to your staff several times and have submitted a claim for replacement trees. However, in reading more closely on your web page, I see that I must pay the nursery a 25% shipping fee. This will come to around $50.

I have to tell that I am dismayed with this. As you can see from the attached pictures (including the two dead pecan trees), I am a very active gardener and planter. There have to be at least 50 trees and shrubs that I have planted over the past 20 years plus I have lived in my house.

The people on your staff have expressed confidence in your product every time I have talked to them. In fact, they talked me into buying a larger, more highly priced tree because they said that a larger one had a much higher likelihood of surviving. I listened to them in part because I had confidence in my prior success. I have NEVER had the case in which all of the same shrubs/trees in a single purchase to die. Never!

Based on my own successful experience with trees, I had every confidence that they would thrive. As a result, my only conclusion is that there is something wrong with the tree, I have lost nearly $200.00 and I have nothing. So, I hope that you can appreciate that from my point of view, paying $50 is good money chasing bad.

I have read your guarantee and see that replacement is my only option; and that is for one season. Is this my only option? If so, I am very disappointed. Maybe I need to learn that buying a plant/tree by mail from a nursery is bad idea.

I distrust anything that TyTy Nursery advertises. Patrick Malcolm, the owner, is a dirty old man, in my opinion. He's most certainly a LIAR. I understand that when he goes to Sea Island, GA for "photo sessions" for those brilliant commercials (yuck) that the Islanders call him "Dr. Malcolm"...his website states that he has a Bachelor of Science in Organic Chem from Clemson University, but after placing a call to Clemson University, I now know that it is NOT true. He has NOT received a degree in ANYTHING from Clemson University. I have spoken with former employees that said that there is a LOT of groping and grabbing of the new employees there, and Mr. Malcolm says that it's "morale building", as you would see in a locker room. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I do know this: I would vomit if I had a 70+ year old man put his "twigs and berries" on my shoulder as a joke while I'm on the telephone. If you order from them, that's who you're ordering from. Watch the videos...he's instructing these young, socially inept little boys from the local community college to fondle the fruit...eat a banana seductively. I would die laughing if I could just ONCE see a video of Patrick Malcolm showing these boys how to eat a banana!

DANAPRIL2 - I call BS. TyTy employees / representatives have registered accounts to post "false positive" reports on the internet many times in the past. It is a despicable practice. This is why "Garden Watchdog" no longer has a ratings/comment account for them. Because their public record was atrocious, and TyTy Nursery affiliates had been posting false positive reviews (all were traced to the same IP). Any good business would never need to resort to these sorts of anonymous face-saving tactics.

I bough 4 plants and after I grounded them in the very beginning of Marh, 2 of them dried out right away. 3 weeks ago I spoke with somebody by phone ( voice seems old) and I was told to wait another 2-3 weeks and after, ( if miracle will not happened and they will not start establish) send plants back to TY TY. I call them today and representative said, that it was only the first step and now I should send them application for replacement in September 15th and pay them extra 25% !. Representative was sarcastic and rude...Terrible company!

I'm homesteading and my family lost food because of Tytyga. I go to stores about twice a month, I order nearly everything online for over ten years, I've purchased from hundreds of retailers, and I can't recall ever feeling intentionally cheated by any other retailer.

I ordered two Filberts, three elderberries, two English/Carpathian Walnut, a raspberry bush, two paw-paws and an apricot tree. I did not get charged for nor did I receive the Apricot thank god, because I ended up purchasing a Blenheim and a Katy from reputable companies. What I did receive was a pile of sticks. One Filbert passed the living scrape test at the bottom but the top three feet were dead, it eventually produced a bud and then totally died like its partner. Both English/Carpathian Walnut passed the scrape test but one never grew, another is producing suckers at the rootstock I think, I can't tell actually exactly where the root stock is because the trees were so scarred and twisted when I got them. I wouldn't be surprised if they were grafted to black walnuts with this nursery, they're so unscrupulous.

One paw-paw is alive. The three elderberries I somehow nursed into life. I couldn't get the Raspberry to grow Raspberries have to be one of the easiest things to grow where I live.

I should mention that I purchased Raspberries and Filberts from other companies and planted them pretty close by the Tytyga rip-offs early season when it became apparent that the plants were dead. The plants from the other four nursuries are thriving.

This place is a huge rip-off. How can they live with themselves causing all this bad karma and killing life for fun? They have to lose more money from getting bad-mouthed and getting no repeat customers then they will ever save pruning the plants to death and throwing them into a box like kindling.

This experience has changed my whole way of shopping online. The first thing I do now is look up complaints for a company before ordering. I hope at least one person reads this and decides not to purchase from Tytyga. Watch out they do business under many names like "Aarons"

I agree that TyTy is the biggest ripoff. I certainly wished I had read the complaints before I ordered. I ordered pecan trees and blackberries. None of the pecan trees sprouted and out of 12 blackberries only 3 came out. Waht a waste of money. When I complained they called me a liar and said read the "return policy". I have to pay for return shipping of the DEAD plants and then get more dead plants from them. Great!

I ordered online for several persimmon trees before August 2012. This order was supposed to be shipped mid November, but somehow Tyty nursery computer "CRASHED" and erased all orders and Tyty nursery could not retrieve them. Amazing thing is current price raised double and sale rep told me to reorder with current price if I want those trees(?). This is an unprofessional business operation. I think Tyty system "CRASHED" on purpose so they can fix the new price. So disappointed and I look for different vendor for better service..

TOTAL RIPOFF, CHEATS AND LIARS!

On a recommendation of a friend I ordered five trees costing well over $200 over the internet.

They were much, much smaller than the grade advertised, barely had any bare root at all and two were not even tagged as to what there were. The order was one tree short, I made several phone calls and got them to verbally promise to credit my card for the missing tree. Instead, of course, they sent me another twig in a beat up box.

If you are reading this you probably got ripped off too. There are so many complaints I am surprised they are allowed to stay in business. From what I understand the NEVER refund your money once they get it.

What are you going to do, sue them from three states away for a couple hundred dollars?

Buy beware, these people are criminals. DON'T BUY from them. If you get ripped off, cut your loses and go somewhere else next time.

Ordered four plants from TyTy, all are doing great except my bottlebrush bush. After an initial email simply stating - "Give it more time. How often and how much are you watering it?" Ty Ty Nursery P.O. Box 130 Ty Ty, GA 31795 - I sent several emails with updates to no response. I finally had to call and after 3 days of calling was told it was on the way. Waited over a week and nothing. Finally got a hold of "Todd" and replacement was sent. Got it the 19th, its now dying EXACTLY the same way the other one did. Have done everything to revive it and no luck. Sent an email and am aware they will not get back to me. I am done, and dont even want a refund. My time is to valuable to fight with them. :(

NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN! The worst customer service ever! I ordered a plant they indicated was in stock and ready to ship in March. After numerous calls and them telling me it will be ready next week, the cold delayed the plant, the plant cannot be shipped until it reaches a certain height, etc. I called in at the end of APRIL to find out the status and told them it was a Mother's Day present and the guaranteed it would be shipped in time for Mother's Day. After calling this week, MAY 5, I was told the plant would not ship until the beginning of the following week. I told them to cancel the order because it was going to be a Mother's Day present. They cancelled it. I called two days later because my refund was not posed and asked told them I wanted to confirm the refund of my money since I cancelled the order. I was told by the guy "Well we don't have a choice since you cancelled the order". I told him that was bad customer service. I will not be spending any money with them ever again!

My husband ordered 3-flowering cherry for me as a gift for Mother Day 2014. They came with bare root as dead bones that never grow. We requested for a replacement and they said we need to pay $29.06 for the cost of shipping. I decided I didn't want to pay that much for another dead bones. Stay away from this nursery is my recommend!

HORRIBLE...They are currently offering 50% off of your online order of $00.00 or more. Wow right...while looking for my plants, I see my option is eligible for free shipping... I put in the number of plants I want, not quite $100.00 so I add one more...I think I should get free shipping and the 50% off however the total is only 25% off because they include the free shipping as the remaining 25%. NO where does it state the 50% off includes the free shipping. I call and ask why the website is totaling incorrectly. He informs me it is not, I explain I can order under $100 and get free shipping...so the ad really is for 25% off and is misleading and known as bait and switch...he hung up on me. I am so thankful I didn't order after I read all the other complaints. VERY unscrupulous business practices. BEWARE

Copyright Infringement! Cant believe this.

Although I appreciate the compliment, I don't understand why my content got used without my permission. This company took my Goji berry Terrace shots of my home and placed it in an ad to promote their company. If they think I'm a little guy, than they better think again. Time to get my attorney involved. Look at this video of theirs at .10 sec - 18sec. This company is a fraud and they got caught red handed. They will pay for doing this type of nonsense. Do not support a company that steal good folks ideas and videos.

I ordered a mulberry tree from TYTY nursery in October when they had a promotion for 25% off plus free shipping. The tree came out to just under $200 after the discounts. They charged my card the day I ordered the tree ( not when they were ready to ship ), today I got a call from PHIL JOHNSON who claims to be the manager there explaining that the free shipping is not offered for this tree and I have to pay $320 additional for shipping. When I said no to this and asked for a refund on my card, he says they can not issue a refund on the card and I'll be getting a check in the mail in about 2 weeks or so. This is unacceptable. Please do not buy anything from these crooks. I certainely would never buy from them again!

Ordered 3 trees, 3 grape and 1 blackberry vine and a shrub. Waited and waited for the order to arrive, called and they said they were behind and it would be 2 weeks or so. Finally received the order (over 2 weeks) and when we opened the box was shocked. Two were suppose to be in gallons, not, all crammed in together! Took us forever to get them out. So disappointing!

In April, 2011 I ordered a big order among which were 3 pecan trees $80 each. I called in the Fall, 2011 to say the trees had not started. They advised to give them time. I called in Feb/March, 2012 to tell them the trees looked dead. They advised to give more time. I called in May 2012 to say the trees were dead. They said the 1yr warranty was up and could not do antyhing! After having followed their advice twice, this is the answer they gave me. Thet were rude and unprofessional on the phone from the time I ordered. I should have known right there and then. Never go to them again. They are bad people and rude. What a ripoff. Dishonest and thieves.

I ordered some plants and trees in July that were to be sent out in the fall. Here it is mid November and no order and I cannot even reach the company as their phone has been disconnected. I will try to work it out with my credit card company but due to the length of time passed, I doubt there is much they can do.
I am going to copy and paste my proof

I placed an order in September and was also told mid November shipping. For my order, they didn't actually charge my card (thank goodness). Last week their website was completely down, and today it is back up but my order is no longer there. I emailed and they said their website was down for a few days and they lost a lot of orders. They said I could just do a new order. All of the trees I had ordered are now $80-100 more than when I ordered them! They also said they would not honor the original prices. How convenient of them to lose orders from when they were low prices and ask you to order again when prices are MUCH higher.

If I'd known this was going to be a mess, I could have cancelled and ordered elsewhere, but now it's almost December and too late to order new trees until spring.

On July 7, 2012 I ordered and paid for plants and trees from tyty orders in GA. The order was supposed to ship in the fall...it is Nov.15 and no order came. It is too late to plant now and I cannot even reach them as their phone has been disconnected. I will contact my credit card company to see if there is anything they can do.
But I advise everyone not to order anything from this company.

Thank you for your order. Your order number is 113941, placed 07/06/2012 at 01:18PM.

Stay Far away from this company and their redneck owners. I too had a run in with them while buying blueberries. For part of my order, I was going to use a gift certificate and once I told them that I had a gift certificate, they promptly hung up the phone on me. It was a battle but I finally won if you could say that. The blueberries came in the mail and I have to say they were in the worst shape that I have ever seen. Most of them have died or have never done well compared to several other companies which I have ordered from.
