Positive | Ncnativefan (3 reviews) | On Nov 10, 2014, Ncnativefan Charlotte, NC wrote: This company is closed due to the owners death 1-2 years ago. They sold what remaining plants they had left in 2013. I ordered jap maples from there for over 10 years. They were hands down the best place to get 1-2 yr old grafts. They had several hundred varieties and were very fairly priced $15-$25 per tree. The website, which is now down, was a great source of information and photos. I have many nice trees thanks to this wonderful company. I wish the family and all their employees the best. |

All arrived in perfect condition. Plants were well-packaged inside box. If anyone is looking for rarer plants at fantastic prices, I suggest checking out Trans-Pacific. Toni On October 3rd, 2007, Toni05 added the following: Received 3 more plants today...all were much larger than anticipated considering the time of year. Foliage has huge leaves and vibrant colors. Once again, plants were carefully secured so they wouldn't bounce around during shipping. The Leopard Plant, (Farfugium) an exceptionally rare plant, is worth every penny and more. On July 4th, 2008, Toni05 added the following: Received 7 healthy, good-sized plants from World Plants/Trans-Pacific Nursery. 1 Excoecaria, (Fire Storm) a very colorful foliage plant in the Euphorbia family. Also got 5 hardy (zone 5) orchids, and 1 Musa Basjoo. Plants were well-packaged and arrived fast. Emails were answered, (within a reasonable time after submitting questions.) Toni PS..I love their new website.. On June 28th, 2009, Toni05 added the following: Got two beautiful, good-sized plants. Vancouver Pelergonium is very colorful, deep red and green foliage. Was covered with buds which have opened..Flowers are single, orange in color. Plant stands 10" in height. Galapagos (Oxalis) Sorrel, 9-12" tall, healthy green foliage, semi-thick trunks. Order arrived super-fast. Emails are answered the same day. World Plants/Trans-Pacific is one of my favorite nurseries. Their prices are reasonable and they sell both hardy and non-hardy (tropical/succulent) plants, a little of each. Toni On November 16th, 2011, Toni05 added the following: Received three, healthy plants from Trans Pacific. A rare Yucca 'Color Guard.' Colors are beautiful. Klenia, healthy stems Aeonium sedifolium. Different from other Aeonioums. Plants, securely wrapped...prompt shipping. |

They arrived in good shape, despite the box looking like someone took a hatchet to it. The sizes were comparable to what was depicted on their website, or perhaps a bit larger. |
Positive | cornea503 (2 reviews) | On May 26, 2009, cornea503 Spring Hill, TN wrote: I am giving them a Neutral because the first time I ordered from them I got great plants. The second time, however, was a different story. I ordered about $40 worth of stuff and here I am almost 2 mos later and no plants or correspondence from them. Sent them an email inquiring about my order but never received a reply. I have sent them a second inquiry and hopefully they will be able to resolve as I love their unique selection and would hate to stop doing business with them if I cannot trust that I will receive what I order. On May 28th, 2009, cornea503 changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following: I am changing my review to positive. After emailing them they explained the issues and promptly shipped the plants within 24hrs. I will definitely be buying more plants from them. |
Positive | lakesidecallas (20 reviews) | On May 14, 2009, lakesidecallas Dandridge, TN (Zone 6a) wrote: I've been a customer for years, and consider this nursery to be one of my "hidden secrets". They offer unusual and exotic plants that can't be found anywhere else. |
Positive | balberth (18 reviews) | On May 3, 2009, balberth (Zone 9a) wrote: I have to say that my positive rating in this case is not very emphatic, but it's still positive. These folks offer reasonably priced plants, some at bargain prices. My last order a month ago included a Brugmansia, an Oxalis, Stapelia, Stylidium and Selaginella - an entertainingly wide range of uncommon material. |

Highly recommend this nursery |

Everything arrived in good shape and was packed well. I'm very pleased with the service and will certainly order again. |

Some were going dormant for the season and this was noted on my order form. All plants look good and the packaging was excellent! They are very conscientious folks and I would definitely order from them again. |
Positive | wrenhill (7 reviews) | On Jul 21, 2007, wrenhill Decorah, IA wrote: I purchased 3 Japanese maples from this company earlier this spring On May 5th, 2008, wrenhill added the following: I ordered 5 more Japanese maples and again I couldn't be happier with the plants and the packaging. I am ordering plants from them that are not hardy in my zone 4 area and overwintering them in my unheated garage. This spring everybody (10 maples) looks great despite an extremely cold and long winter. I would order from them again and again, but just how many Japanese maples can one have in the middle of Iowa? There prices can't be beat--I have in the past paid $45-$100 for maples of no better quality. At $15 what have you got to lose? |

Very healthy looking and packed very well. Took a week to get here but they say up front they are a week to 2 weeks out on shipping. I don't mind waiting at all if I get a nice healthy plant. |

I am very impressed with the packaging, and the size of the plants. The shipping charges were minimal, and I feel that this is a quality nursery that provides such good mail order service (this is rare). |

Positive | Amunhotep (6 reviews) | On Apr 29, 2006, Amunhotep East Central, MS (Zone 8a) wrote: I ordered 2 japanese maples from World Plant and were received in about a month. I was shocked at the care my order was packed. They were so carefully and snugly packed it would have taken much to have damaged my plants. Not many firms will go to this extreme in the safety of packing orders. The order traveled from Oregon to Mississippi, a distance of some 2,600 (driving) miles. |
Positive | ladyisle (34 reviews) | On Apr 26, 2006, ladyisle Bohemia, NY (Zone 7a) wrote: I just got my order yesterday. The plants are very good size for the price. Healthy, and packaged very well-nothing moved, not even the soil. The Geranium plants have buds and even a full bloom ; one was in a bigger pot than specified, but the same price. I would definitely order from them again. |

Now if the slugs dont eat them I will relly be happy. Time to get the bait out. The only thing i would recomend is that they have a little bit more variety. But most of the plants are hard to find and at great prices who really cares! |

Positive | acwtim (16 reviews) | On Sep 17, 2005, acwtim Acworth, GA wrote: First, I must say that this nurseries prices are what led me to purchase from them. Beyond that, the shipping was very fast(2 days from the west coast to the east) and reasonable. The plants were in good condition and packaged well. If all nurseries would use them as an example, and ship priority mail, then shipping would not cost the consumer so much. On March 18th, 2006, acwtim added the following: This company is outstanding. I ordered a Banana tree and the packing was the best I've seen. The plant arived healthy in 2 days(Impressive consider their reasonable shipping) All e-mail submitted was answered immediately. Top rate! |

Positive | Zuzu (38 reviews) | On Mar 11, 2005, Zuzu Sebastopol, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: I'm surprised by all of the comments about small plants on this page. I received my first order from this nursery recently, and the plants were quite large for the price. The ones that are just breaking dormancy don't have much showing above ground yet, but their root systems are quite substantial. I found several plants on this site that I had never seen anywhere else, and at prices that seem incredibly low for exotics. The packaging system is the best I've seen, the shipping method is extremely quick, and the plants arrive without the slightest sign of stress. I would recommend this nursery to other gardeners without hesitation or reservation. |

Positive | ameliawr (8 reviews) | On Jun 26, 2004, ameliawr Montauk, NY wrote: I ordered two varieties of Japanese Maple from Trans-Pacific earlier in the Spring, and will probably order more things from them in the future. As others have mentioned, their site and ordering system are a little funky, but just go with the flow and you will not be disappointed. Shipping did take a couple of weeks, but they announced that clearly, and when the little trees arrived, they were in lovely, moist condition. |
Positive | hikaede (1 review) | On Dec 21, 2003, hikaede wrote: I ordered a couple of hard-to-find Acer palmatum cultivars for my collection from World Plants last Tuesday. Their on-line ordering facility is a bit novel -- but apparently functional. Within two hours, World Plants had contacted me via e-mail to ensure that I was prepared to accept winter delivery. They shipped the trees on Wednesday and I had them on Friday. |
