Ordered a Kaffir Lime tree from this company and I was very surprised and elated at what I received. My tree was 3 1/2 feet tall with well developed branches, an abundance of bright shiny, fragrant green leaves and a foot taller than advertised. I love it!! My mom wanted one also.... so I ended up ordering one for her. I would recommend this company if you are looking for a Kaffir lime tree.

It never occurred to me to look at DG about this issue and interesting to see this discussion. Initially, I purchased myer lemon trees from them and they are great!! In 11/08 I purchased 3 key lime trees that never thrived. in 2010 USDA contacted me and seized my trees. I did not receive replacement trees, nor a refund. The lemons continue to be prolific and thrive and i am pleased with them. so plus for the lemons and minus for limes.

Struggled with it thru the winter, but with spring came a beautiful set of flowers. The tree was thriving and producing limes until early this afternoon when the USDA came and confiscated it. I've got the paperwork to prove it.

This company operates under different websites. They show the plants are available. You place the order, they charge your credit card. After charging the credit card, they stay quiet. If you remember to follow-up, they come back with one of the following answers : - Not in stock --> Why charge to credit card if not in stock ? - We don't ship to your state -- Why charge to credit card if you don't ship to California ? Now, it is your turn to follow-up on the refunds. My personal experience with this company has been very bad (this has happened 3rd time). They charged me for Orange tree on 18thMay,2012. Immediately after the charging, I asked status of the order and got back reply, we don't ship to California (I fail to understand why they charged if they don't ship to California).

Terrible customer service. It's amazing they're still in business. After a week of no shipping confirmation I wrote them an email (per the request on the website), I never got an email back. The next week I called Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Each time I left voicemails explaining the problem and asked that they call me back. No phone call. The next Monday I called multiple times during their business hours (only 12-4pm) and no one answered. I then wrote another email informing them that ignoring a customer was unacceptable, especially after you've taken their money, and that I would be contacting the BBB and taking legal action next. That afternoon I got an email back. This is all it said: Hi, Your order is shipping tomorrow and you should expect its arrival by the end of this week. Thanks and have a wonderful day.   Kind Regards, Meyer Lemon Tree.com That's it? No apology for ignoring someone for 3 weeks or explanation? I also got a phone call from them that afternoon. A woman left a message saying that they had some shipping issues where many orders were lost and that it would be shipped. Still no remorse for the terrible customer service. I wish I could have gotten a refund and bought from another company instead. I would never recommend that anyone patronize this business .. ever.

I was surprised to see the bad news here. The company told me if I liked their products to please tell people. So here I am :) I order some trees for Christmas for myself and family in different parts of the country. Each member got beautiful trees. It was hard to find 4-5 foot trees since most of the website offer 6 inches to 3 foot only. I did check the tags on my tree and googled the rest from my family members and they all showed up on the Dept of Ag of each state as approved shippers of citrus trees. So I see they admit they had a problem in the past. And I think they did the right thing by offering replacement trees. I know we had one tree damaged in transit and they quickly replaced it after UPS came out to inspect the box. So I got good customer service and will buy from them again.

Gardengallie and Growyourfood are new DG ID's and have also just been created over on the GardenWeb forums as well, yesterday or today. They have both resurrected very old threads on the GardenWeb Citrus Forum in order to promote this company. Quite obviously this is the company trying to repair their much-damaged reputation based on the past illegal practices. Just read through the many, many, many negative comments on this forum about their illegal shipping of quarantined stock. Or, Google them on the Internet. Based on this new less than ethical attempt to promote themselves, it's merely another example of why you do not want to do business with this company. They and others like them, are responsible for putting our citrus states at risk for spreading HLB. Shame on you.

I was concerned after reading this since I live in Texas and received a tree from them. I called the local USDA and they told me the company has a number of vendors throughout the country and they are in compliance. They told me they shut down one of their vendors in Georgia a couple years ago. Even then I ask them to come look at my tree since I did not want any surprises later. The refused to come out but the USDA person told me to read the tag on the tree to him. It reads Produced in Texas #2305 Brownville, TX. It has alot of small type about "limited permit" and "USDA/APHIS not for distribution in AZ, American Somoa, etc." He assured me this is a Texas Tree and is approved in Texas. He told me that Texas nurseries can not ship to CA, AZ, FL, LA and parts of SC. Otherwise they can ship the rest of the states. He gave me some great articles too: //agrilife.org/today/2011/01/06/texas-citrus-shipping-again/ //www.texasagriculture.gov/RegulatoryPrograms/PlantQuality/CitrusInformation.aspx I found this one too: //sites.google.com/site/johnpanza/texascitruslaws Anyway, I love my tree and I'm glad I get to keep it :)

They are illegally shipping citrus to quarantined states. See reviews or GW for more references. //forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/citrus/msg011126212453.html?22777

Do NOT DO BUSINESS with this company! They are scam artist selling trees out of a shell company in GA, but they really reside in Florida. I to was visited by the USDA who physically confiscated my plant (While I had my in-laws visiting) Imagine my embarrassment! The inspector was very nice, but determined to take the plant. After producing multiple legal documents, I was left no other choice but to allow him to take it. I asked him if I should call the company to try and get my money back or another tree and he told me to watch out because if he had to come back I could get a heafty fine. After reading the previous posts and a quick look up on the USDA website, I decided not to attempt get another tree because of the huge fines and possible civil lawsuits. Don't make the mistake of buying from this company!

I was told by the USDA agent that meyer is approved to replaced the trees. They apologized to me as they too were surprised by the confiscations. They sent me an email that allowed me to reorder my replacement tree. I was told that since this problem vendor they used they have had all their vendors approved by the USDA. They told me to keep my USDA approved tags that come on the tree with the tree Forever. This is so if there is ever a re-inspection by the USDA there would be no questions.

Posted on August 26, 2010, updated June 6, 2011 Posted on August 17, 2009, updated August 26, 2010 I am in between a high neutral and a positive as a rating for this company. I received a Satsuma orange and meyer lemon tree as gifts from a friend via this company. They were very green and beautiful but the orange tree never recovered from whatever shock it experienced via the delivery or the growing season. The reason for my feelings of a high neutral is because communication with them is difficult for lack of a better word. When trying to find help in regards to the orange tree, I've had to emailed and call and email and call before getting one response. When it still didn't improve the satsuma orange tree was eventually replaced but again only after my chasing them down.While I LOVE my trees I may think twice about going through them again. I kept the rating as a positive because their plants are truly gorgeous and healthy but if they could improve upon the communication they'd be above the rest in the field.

I purchased the largest, most expensive meyer lemon tree from meyerlemontree.com in 2009. It was confiscated by USDA from my home. It was a very traumatic and scary experience. I had no idea what was going on and was extremely upset since it was growing very nicely. I contacted meyerlemontree.com and wanted a refund. They convinced me to let them send me another tree instead of the refund promising that these trees are not diseased and will not be confiscated. They said they only do replacements and do not have a refund policy. What company does not have a refund policy? WELL a few weeks ago, my second tree was confiscated!! This time it was when I was hosting a family party. How embarrassing!!!! I will never purchase anything from meyerlemontree.com again! I do not recommend this company since obviously they are illegally sending diseased trees to unknowing consumers! I don’t want to even contact them again regarding this issue. All I want is my lemon tree back. I was looking on other sites to purchase a new one. I came across lemoncitrustree.com. Sketchy thing is that their contact phone number is the same as meyerlemontree.com. A lot of the pages on the 2 sites are the same. I just don’t understand that it says USDA approved – then why were my trees confiscated a few weeks ago!? They have very cheap prices for the lemon trees right now. Lowest being $5.99. BUT! The shipping cost is $26! I’ve seen other sites ship this same tree for half the price. Obviously, they are spiking up their shipping cost to make up for their cheap prices. It seems like a SCAM to me and I will not be buying anything from either of these sites. Does anyone know of a reputable website?

I ordered a few small citrus trees from this website. Although the sight is very cheap and sketchy looking, I ignored my gut feeling anyway and ordered. To make a long story short i received my trees and although one of the trees were snapped in half I still re-potted them and they grew accordingly.. Well they had little white spots on them but I didn't think anything of it.. All seemed well until a USDA investigator showed up at my doorstep to confiscate my trees!! I asked him what the issues were and he informed me that there was a investigation going on and that they received my information via meyerlemontree.com files that had been seized. apparently they were or are shipping diseased trees illegally. Thank goodness I didn't put them near my other citrus trees. None the less I DO NOT appreciate the way they do business. It is not honest and it turns my stomach to think there are companies doing this.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!! I was just contacted today by the US Department of Agriculture - they have to SEIZE my tree!!! The Improved Meyer Lemon tree was purchased online in 2008, the USDA said the tree was illegally sold by this company from GA to avoid a FL quarantine! I can not believe the company has put my family in such danger! AVOID! Pay a little extra and do business with another company!!

Posted on February 21, 2011, updated February 21, 2011 I attempted to order a tree on 02/20/2011. I later received the following email. "We refunded your order in full. We cannot ship into your part of SC. Best regards, Meyer Lemon Tree //www.meyerlemontree.com To place an order or customer service please call 12-4 pm Eastern time M-F: 229-299-5555 If no answer, Please leave detailed message for a return call." I replied with the following. "Any particular reason?" They replied with. "Agricultural relations." So I have no idea what the real problem is with a reply like that. All I know is I can not order from them. I also know that I will not attempt to order from the in the future with such cryptic replies to my queries.

I ordered a tree as a gift for my brother in July from this company. Tonight, the Department of Agriculture showed up and seized the tree. They said it was sold illegally and is diseased. The Dept of Ag had seized the company's records and is now working at seizing the trees sold. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!

I ordered a meyer lemon tree that, according to the description, would be 4 to 4.5 feet tall. It was shipped on Monday and I received it the next day. It was healthy and full of dark green leaves with a good, strong root system intact. The tree is 6 feet tall! I potted the tree, following the instructions enclosed, and placed it in the greenhouse. It has been a week and not a leaf has dropped. I would definitely order from this company again.

While I am in no position to vouch for the quality of this outfit's citrus trees, I can say that much of their Web content is copyrighted material being used without permission. As the author of this content, I noticed it immediately upon entering the site. I had to go through a proxy registration service to determine the owner(s) of this place and now — meyerlemontree.com and keylimepietree.com are asking me to prove the work is mine. Before you order from either of these companies, know that either they do not know much about what they are selling; or they disregard basic principals of honesty and integrity. Either way, caveat emptor! ajholland

I ordered a Meyer lemon tree as a gift for my granddaughter and had it shipped to Birmingham, AL where she lives. The tree arrived today, Feb 12, 2009 and was very nice and in perfect condition. From my daughter's description by telephone, it sounds as though the tree was even better than I expected. All email inquiries were answered promptly and some were sent by me late in the day. I ordered a tree from them last winter and it produced 12 beautiful, delicious lemons the first year. I'm most pleased with the fruit trees and service from this company and will order from them again. My experience it that they try very hard to please customers.

I received my first lemon tree as a gift. I was impressed by its quality -- lots of leaves, good height and even a lemon. I have never received a bareroot plant of this quality. I have since ordered two more -- a lemon and a key lime. The lime was even better than the lemon that I received as a gift. The only issue I had was neither tree was marked. I e-mailed the company. They were very quick to respond, within a couple of hours. I sent a few pics via e-mail and they were able to identify the lime from the lemon. Now I can too.
