McKay Nursery Company

I just received the most outrageously beautiful lilac: Krasavitsa, also known as Beauty of Moscow. Expertly packed, this is a wonderful specimen. The representatives of this company are both expert and professional. Their plants appear in some of the best garden centers, but you can order from them directly. Also, their plants come in multiple sizes, so that you can choose what works for you.

In July I ordered a Turkish Hazelnut tree from McKay Nursery. I had been looking for this tree locally without success and was happy to find it. The potted tree was packed well and arrived safely. It was about 3-1/2' tall and the trunk was about 1/2" across. Not a big specimen, but very nicely shaped and healthy. It was not cheap, but I got what I wanted and I am pleased. The tree is doing well and has grown more than a foot taller since I planted it.

I also found this company while looking for Lonicera Kintzleys Ghost. Ordered last week, plant arrived today. Large and well packed, in excellent shape even in this heatwave. So glad to have found them, very pleased.

I encountered McKay in searching for a hard-to-find Kintzley's Ghost honeysuckle, and ordered a nannyberry at the same time. Both plants arrived on time, in splendid condition and superbly packed. And customer service at this worker-owned company was intent on making sure that the order was right. Highly recommended.

In the spring of 2019 I ordered 9 dogwoods and some raspberries. As of the fall of 2020 every single dogwood has done just fine, and the raspberries are still going. My only complaint about McKay is that their prices seem to be higher than other companies... but then again 100% of my plants survived. Much better than a subsequent order from the Arbor Day Foundation. So as always "you get what you pay for".

I am so impressed with McKay Nursery! I was looking for miniglobe honeysuckles this spring and this was the only company I could find that offered them in the US; they are more common in Canada. A reply to a question before I ordered made me think they were a solid company with a great reputation. They did not have the smaller sized plants I ordered so they filled the order with older plants. My honeysuckle plants arrived in very good condition. I planted them right away and they have taken off. I submitted a question to them regarding pruning this morning and by noon a customer rep called to answer it. Great product, excellent service!

Just received my first order from McKay Nursery. Packaging: could not have been better. Product: as advertised and then some - plants were beautiful, in perfect condition. Completely positive experience. I am currently composing my next order from McKay. McKay communicates well and they are on my Do Business list, for sure.
