Comments regarding England's Orchard & Nursery

I ordered several trees from England's for pick on the last day of February. My order was ready when I arrived and I was also able to buy some extra trees before I left. The owners were very hospitable and answered all of my questions patiently. Recommended!

I ordered seed and tools from Cliff for the first time this winter. He was very responsive to all my questions and quickly and effectively changed my order at least three times before my material shipped to me in the early spring. The material is very high quality, the seeds came stratified, and all was very reasonably priced. Cliff's personal attention and advice is priceless.

I ordered three persimmon trees in March 2019, and received Two trees in early April (one variety was sold out, only charged for the two of course.) I was pleased with the packaging and quality of trees, as well as the price ($45 is about average in our area for a 3-5 foot fruit tree.) The shipping was expensive to our area (KY to Utah) but that's beyond their control and I'm glad they were able to ship them at all. The trees appear to be spring dug, which is my preference, and they appear healthy with large, full buds. A pleasant difference from the usual "dried sticks" many of us get through mail-order of fall dug plants. Bottom line is the plants arrived in good condition, now the rest is up to me. I hope they'll do well in our area, but if not, it is not England's fault. I hope to enjoy my Utah Persimmons in a few years! Thanks England's Orchard & Nursery!

England's Orchard is one of my top nursery picks. I've made multiple orders including scion wood, pawpaw seed, and grafted pawpaw, Asian pear, hawthorn, persimmon, quince, and Che. Have never had a problem. Many many times I've emailed asking for advice or information and have always received an honest and timely answer. Cliff England is very valuable resource of knowledge and experience for those interested in growing some of the less mainstream fruits.

I visited the website of England's Orchard & Nursery, nuttrees.net, and I was impressed by the complex persimmon hybrids in stock. England's customer service is quick & excellent. I placed an inquiry about their persimmons, and I received a quick & very friendly response, an e-mailed invoice, & a quick shipment. nuttress.net excels on all counts: Excellent customer service--excellent packaging & shipping--and excellent stock. I was highly pleased with the arrival of my order, so I placed another persimmon inquiry to which I received another immediate response, and I look forward to ordering from nuttrees.net again this fall.

Near the end of the season, both of my new jujube trees are still going strong.

This despite the cool, wet spring, the minor flooding that required me to relocate one tree while ankle deep in water (and the tree in full leaf), and deer nipping off the new growth.

When contacting the business regarding my order, the owner answered the phone, and all my questions. I haven't had a need to contact him again, because the quality has been great.

Overall, I had the best possible experience with this business.

My order--two goumis and an aronia--arrived when expected, was as ordered, and the little trees were healthy, clearly labeled, with a fair amount of dirt and that gummy moisture-retention gel on a sizable root mass. I would not hesitate to order from these guys again. Even if they are severely spelling-challenged.

In April of 2014 I purchased 20 paw paw trees from Cliff. Great guy and wonderful plants. They were healthy and in deep pots. He even gave me the milk crates that he had them in so I could transport them. All the trees continue to thrive.

I bought eight persimmon and four pawpaw trees in the Spring, 2011. I picked up the trees and Clifford England was cordial and knowledgeable. Ten of the trees prospered during the first year; two persimmons died. Clifford replaced the two persimmons that died via UPS in the Fall, 2011. As of the middle of May, 2012, all the trees are healthy and doing well. I am happy with the planting stock and service and highly recommend England Orchard.

Ive ordered trees from Clifford England and WOW, what wonderful size and health! The man is super friendly and even gave me his own personal cell phone number to call if i had any questions. Very knowledgeable and really wants us young future nursery guys to succeed! I give him a call frequently and he always takes the time out to answer questions and offer advice. These were definitely some of the nicest trees I've ordered. Talking to the man, you certainly realize that he doesn't sell a product he doesn't know inside and out. The man is brilliant and has been had his knowledge passed down from previous generation. definitely look forward to doing business with England's Orchard and Nursery again in the Future! Highly recommended!!!

I ordered several Asian pears and some grafting scions in February, they were shipped quickly and well packaged. All are healthy and doing well. Great service, great products at a great price.

We were able to visit this nursery last weekend and had a great time there. Brought home 9 trees and couldn't be happier. Clifford knows his stuff and is happy to share his knowlege. We look forward to ordering more trees next spring, once we figure out just where we are going to plant more. Thanks again Clifford for the tour.

I lamented not being able to find some kinds of American Persimmons on gardenweb and in a NAFEX posting. The next day I received an email from the proprietor of England's including a current catalogue.

I spoke to him on the phone, emailed him that same night and placed my order and the trees were in the mail a week later (which was appropriate for planting and when I would have wanted them).

I got 2 jujube's unavailable elsewhere and a persimmon I've never seen anywhere else either (though it was listed in the fruit and nut inventory from 2000).

Great communication, plants and reasonable shipping!

No complaints here! I just hope he re-opens his site so others can order from him.

In the past I have ordered from Englands. I was very happy with the heartnut seedlings and a few other trees. They have been very nice and are growing well. I have read that Mr England has been called up to service to our country. My prayers go with him.

While I have not purchased from England's, Clifford England and I are fellow nut & fruit growers, and we have 'traded' plant materials on several occasions, so I have grown out a few of his 'First Stage Trees', as well as stratified seednuts, etc, and can attest to their quality.
Cliff is very knowledgeable with regard to nut trees and the minor fruits he offers, and I recommend this nursery highly.
