These were shipped to me DOA with brown leaves and branches, and some had no leaves. These are supposed to be EVERGREEN...I was given a b.s. statement that these were "dormant". I have many of these in my yard, and they do NOT lose 100% of their leaves in the winter...what evergreen does? I gave them a month of TLC, but they did not resurrect (what a surprise). Contacted Moonshine for a refund or replacement and received NO response. Nice way to treat a repeat customer! Will take these guys off my list permanently. Will NEVER order from again. I suggest you do too. |

I purchased 4 trees from 4 different nurseries - only Moonshine's arrived in a very stressed state and it may not take. Shows this tree was in a sad state before they shipped it. I ordered a Witch Hazel from Moonshine. I ordered a Witch Hazel, a Walking Stick and a red bark maple from 3 other places. The other 3 arrived as if they had never even been sent they were in perfect shape. Moonshines tree ball was wrapped in saran wrap and the soil was all over the box and the leaves were either dead or dying and the root ball was dry. As I said, I wrote but have heard nothing so I'm forced to post a warning. Be smart and purchase elsewhere - for me, I'll stick with Wayside, Jackson and Perkins and Rarefind since they have superior shipping methods and first class product - oh, I even paid extra for my moonshine purchase - what a waste of money. Had they sent a replacement or refunded me, I'd then have said they were true to their word and worth purchasing in the future from. Oh, I'm 69 and have purchased many trees in my time and never have I been ignored by a nursery if something arrived in the state that this purchase is. I did plant it but it sure looks sickly.

Very early in the morning the next day, a representative tells me that she will ship the plant with the shipping I selected but it is probably going to arrive dead. Why would they offer that method of shipping for LIVE plants if they know it is very likely they are going to die anyway? I immediately returned her email that morning requesting a refund and to cancel the order all together. The next day she then tells me that the order "already went out" (that morning) and it's too late to cancel my order but they did not give me any time to respond to her warning that it would die (which any logical person would then cancel the order). Come to find out my order was not shipped at the time they claim. Number one, the postmark on the package and number two, their shipping notification email did not go out to me until around 3pm. There was no tracking info provided but they did not provide this to me. The plant arrived our was already shipped dead. It is in really bad shape and it looks like it was cut up pretty bad before being sent. Poorly packaged just thrown in a box. Once she told me it would likely die with that shipping method, they gave me NO time to respond. Any sane person would cancel and not waste the money. I question the ethical practices of this business for telling a customer that the plant will arrive dead, then give them no time to respond, and ship it with that method anyway knowing it will arrive dead after they have warned the customer with no time to respond!!! On Aug 14, 2009, Moonshine Designs Nursery responded with: "On Aug 13, 2009 9:15 PM, Moonshine Designs Nursery responded with: We expected this from a person that cannot read or follow simple directions. The shipment was made a different method with no added charge to the customer although it cost us more to send it this way. You just can't please some people!" |

The blackberries they sent were small and didn't all grow, but there is no way to get them to respond. I didn't even ask for a replacement, but just wanted further info on my purchases. I won't be buying from them again; wouldn't have found them except for this site and the glorious reviews. Don't count me in on those--I'm not enamored by them or the merchandise.

I got them fast and was a little surprised that they were bare root twigs. I planted both and one is showing growth and the other isn't. I sent two emails asking if the one that is showing no growth is all right and have heard nothing back. They were fast to answer when i was asking about them when buying but now they aren't when it comes to a problem. If i need to replace the one l'll get it from another nursery and never do business with this place again.
