Helpful friendly staff. Incredible selection of Japanese material; most comprehensive in the entire Bay Area— pines, gorgeous dwarf hinokis, shimpaku kishu in 1 and 5 gal.

I am updating this to 2 stars because the tree itself appears healthy and the price was fair. My concern is specifically with the hold and pickup experience. I selected and purchased a specific 15-gallon Flavor King pluot tree because it was fully loaded with fruit. My kids chose that exact tree because they were excited to bring it home and eventually pick the fruit. I paid for it and placed it on hold for pickup. I went back around 2 PM the same Saturday after being told the nursery closed at 4 PM, but it was already closed, so I could not pick it up that day. When I came back to pick it up three days later, the fruit was gone. Nobody contacted me ahead of time, explained what happened, offered a different tree, credit, or any option before pickup. I am attaching photos from the day I selected the tree and from pickup/current condition so others can make their own assessment. Updated after owner’s response: I understand fruit can drop naturally and that birds or squirrels can get to ripe fruit. I also understand the tree may produce fruit again in the future. However, this tree had a significant amount of fruit across multiple branches when I selected and paid for it. By pic

They are exceptional and their knowledge is unparalleled. I’ve brought dozens of trees from them over the years and they are always healthy. They will also special order trees and plants they don’t have at the nursery and call you timely when it arrives.

We went on a nursery tour today and this was stop #2. We loved the selections of the different types of yucca plants here. The ones they had at the entrance were very nice and about $150which is a reasonable price for the size. We ended up finding a dwarf olive tree which was $20 cheaper than what we had found in San Jose. So that was exciting. They have lot of different kinds of trees and shrubs. While there, the employee told us that they would be getting more flowers in the next couple of weeks and because of the storms they have been a bit delayed in blooming and being ready for sale. I would be interested to return to see what kinds of flowers they bring in. They did have rose bushes and rose trees which ranged from $80- $110.
