Positive | ehearn58 (6 reviews) | On Oct 30, 2012, ehearn58 Houston, TX wrote: Ordered a dwarf bottlebrush plant from Ecolage to replace one that my elder sister had recently purchased from a local nursery that had died within two weeks. Had read the review about the cost of their plants, but decided to purchase it given so many positive reviews. The plant is incredible. The leaves are twice the size of the other one when purchased new and it is blooming. I have since purchased another bottlebrush and gardenia for myself and each are full, healthy and beautiful. Also, they are very well packaged with sturdy box tape and the pots have stakes inserted in heavy plastic to prevent damage. I will continue to order plants from them based on these two experiences. |

Mom got a Gardenia Azalea, and it was shipped to her just as green and healthy as can be, a nice round ball of a shrub about a foot tall and round. She planted it and It looks great! The folks at Ecolage are great to work with and they're prompt and friendly. Thanks guys! |

Everything I've ordered has survived grandly (before I retired, I had a Zone 8b-9 Mississippi climate; now I have a North Georgia Zone 8a climate). I grow lots of things that I used to see when I lived in New Orleans years ago, and I appreciate the fact that Ecolage carries a lot of these plants. I have a Ecolage-purchased Vitex that came in a 3 gal. pot in one fall, and now that thing is easily 12-15 feet tall with a 10-12 foot spread now after just three years! Everything is huge at the start - 2-3 gallon typically (it's actually hard to find plants like this in many local nurseries) and the plants are packed professionally. Their customer service is outstanding too. And they carry lots of hard-to-find stuff - particularly Zone 8-9 plants, heritage-type plants, and even rabbiteye blueberries and figs. I can't really say enough about this company (except I wish they could accept custom orders for things not listed on their site (hint, hint))! If you're a Zone 7-9 gardener, try them out - you can't go wrong! |
Positive | twoheartsfarm (1 review) | On Oct 13, 2009, twoheartsfarm Concord, NH wrote: I just received my first order from Ecolage - a bay tree - that was a beauty. About 3 feet high, healthy, appropriately watered and not a branch was broken because of the excellent packing technique used by this company. I have ordered trees from several companies over the years (we're up to an orchard of over 40 trees, as well as numerous berries and quasi-exotic (by NH standards) fruit trees (and a few babies like this bay that have to live inside for the winter). Ecolage is a standout from the crowd. |

I have never had such a high quality experience with any other online plant seller. I will definitely order from this company again and again. They give you the impression that real people work there. I am delighted! |

They arrived looking very healthy though they clearly had a rough trip as 2 were almost out of their containers. They are doing very well right now and showing new growth very quickly. |

I ordered 3 frostproof gardenias on April 21st. The ordering process went smoothly, the order confirmation told me when the plants would ship and when I could expect them to arrive. I received a shipment notification and UPS tracking number when they shipped. They arrived on the expected date (April 30th). The plants were well packaged, large in size, and in perfect condition. I have absolutely no complaints and look forward to ordering from them again. |

They arrived at my house very quickly and in great condition. The soil was moist, the leaves shiney and they were healthy. Because of their excellent condition, the plants transplanted to my garden beautifully. |
Positive | mlwmaine (1 review) | On Apr 28, 2009, mlwmaine Saco, ME wrote: I ordered a Pink Stardust Magnolia several weeks ago & requested a May shipping date. I moved the date up twice & Ecolage was very happy to accomodate my requests. My tree was shipped on the day promised and arrived fully leafed out (the Magnolias here are in bloom now, but are not leafed out yet). The tree was packed so well, that upon opening the box we found the tree was as fresh as if we'd just gone to the local nursery to get it. It didn't even know it had been in transit for several days! The tree was also very full, nicely branched and shaped. I say, Well done Ecolage!! I wish they had more items hardy in my zone, as I'd definitely order from them again. |

Positive | RMSsilva (3 reviews) | On Apr 4, 2009, RMSsilva Bush, LA (Zone 8b) wrote: I ordered two pineapple guava plants from them on 3/05/09. They were shipped on the following Monday and arrived Tuesday: Only six days between order and arrival. The plants were both very, very well packed in boxes that were large enough to not bend any branches. At first the prices seemed a bit high, but both were extremely good-looking, decent sized, healthy plants...so worth the price in my book. They have been in the ground just short of a month and are growing well. I will definitely buy from this nursery again. |

I ordered two Windmill Palm Trees and they blew me away, as they are large in comparison to what other companies have offered. I would highly recommend Ecolage to anyone that wants hardy and healthy plants. Thanks Ecolage for being such a great company to do business with. |

I Googled and found the Ecolage site. I called and asked questions and Steve was very informative. I ordered a plant and it was shipped overnight delivery and arrived in great condition. I called to make sure I understood the correct planting insructions and again spoke to Steve. He gave me simple instructions and some great tips so my plant would thrive. I am very happy with the service and the quality of the plant when it arrived. I look forward to ordering more plants as I establish my new yard. |

I needed a Butterfly Ginger with blooms and Steven and the team at Ecolage found one for me even though it was late in the season for blooms. The packing and shipping was fantastic and it arrived exactly on time as promised. This plant was for my wife for a very special occasion and she was overwhelmed with it's arrival. I will definately order from Ecolage again and will recommend them to everyone! Thank you SO much Ecolage for your care and concern with my somewhat special request! |

Ordering was a breeze and my Texas Mountain Laurels arrived in beautiful condition. I also appreciated the care they took preparing them to be shipped, as well as the organic materials in which they were packed. I can't wait to order more! |
Positive | dunwil17 (1 review) | On Aug 11, 2008, dunwil17 Bethesda, MD wrote: The communication with Ecolage was outstanding and very informative about the Crape Myrtle that I wanted to order. They gave me advice on the size I should get for the space where it was to be planted -- even helped me with the color decision. Prompt responses to my questions. Then the tree arrived in beautiful condition -- expertly packed and protected from any stress during shipping. It's a very well-developed perfect tree about 4.5 feet tall with a wonderful shape, pretty bark, and buds all set to open. |

Not only did the quality and size of the plants exceed my expectation, but the care taken in packing and shipping was great. I have purchased from 2 other vendors, but none compare with Ecolage. On August 4th, 2008, jthompsonmd added the following: Placed a second order that arrived just as promptly. They substituted a larger size plant at no cost to me as they were out of the 1g size. My bleeding heart vines have settled in and our absolutely beautiful. I couldn't be more happy. Thanks again!! On April 18th, 2009, jthompsonmd added the following: I'm not sure how many orders you have to place to be a regular, but I feel I've become one. I occasionally buy trees and ground cover from other top 30 sellers, but all my plants come from this wonderful Louisiana nursery. Every time I visit the local nursery or "hardware" store, I always smile knowing how much better the quality and variety I can find at Ecolage. Shipping is wonderful, and Steven is always there to answer questions and find the right size plant to fit your needs. Thank you again!! |

I ordered a Grancy Graybeard aka Old Man's Beard in NC, and now have neighbors asking me where I got this plant! It is a Carolina native but thanks to heavy logging and plant plundering, it has become scarce a hen's teeth around here and NO nurseries have it! When I saw the Louisiana connection I knew my search had ended and, thanks to Steve (you doll), every promise made to me was kept! The plant was well-packed, arrived in a very timely manner and not one wilted leaf...my only complaint is that I unpacked it on a windy day and chased popcorn for a while! Small price to pay for a company who is so courteous, helpful and customer service oriented! Kudos!! |

I found Ecolage on the web, called them and in two days my husband's mother was delighted and surprised with the frost resistant gardenia plant that we had chosen for her. She said the plant arrived in excellent condition and was beautiful! It was a huge hit with her. I priced similar plants/shrubs on line and could not find anyone who came close to matching size and price of the plant. The gentleman who helped me was kind and followed my instructions to the letter. For that, I thank him. I will definitely use them again and actually forwarded their web site to a close friend who's mom lives in AZ. Thanks again, Ecolage, you are a great find! |
Positive | seagardener (42 reviews) | On Apr 11, 2008, seagardener Southport, ME wrote: We ordered two 3 gallon windmill palms (Trachycarpus fortunei) for shipment to Maine. We received an e-mail to track the shipping. They arrived in great shape, really nice, healthy plants. The pots were wrapped in heavy, clear plastic bags tied with jute ties and the boxes were filled with biodegradable corn starch peanuts. A bamboo pole in the pot protected the foliage from being crushed in transit. We're going to grow them in containers outdoors for the summer. We compared prices and plant sizes with a lot of other nurseries and this company provided much larger plants at a competitive price. Highly recommended. On December 31st, 2008, seagardener added the following: Our windmill palms have done fantastic and have doubled in size with no pest problems. Excellent quality stock. |

This was my first purchase of plants of this size--3 gallons, 4 feet tall--over the internet, but after talking with Steven, I was convinced it was worth the risk and I am thrilled with the results. Would gush more but I have planting to do... |
