I have purchased Japanese Maples from John Herter for several years. I currently have one "fluffy" maple that I love; two in pots that should be small; one next to my house that needs transplanting (too large for spot). Also, I sent one to a friend in memory of his mother. That Japanese maple is now next to his mom's grave. Beautiful. Each time that I have purchased from, or communicated with John I was especially pleased. The shipments were always carefully packed and arrived without incident. I love the selections of Herter's Nursery. If something is out of stock, I compliment them that they have done well with an exceptional species.

I recently purchased 12 pink pampas grass plants from the Herter Nursery listing on e-bay. The plants arrived in great condition and within three days of payment. They are now planted and doing very well. The plants looked exactly like the pictures in the listing on e-bay. The communication was timely and concise regarding the shipment. I plan to continue to do business with this company.

I made my first order to this company about a week ago. I received the tree today in excellent condition. The container the tree was in was bent in the center and I was dreading what I'd find when I opened it, but the tree was secured inside well enough that it hadn't moved and was perfectly fine. I'll do business with them again.

I have ordered many grafted Japanese maples and wisteria from John over the past 10 years. When they came, they were nice form, but rather small (but what did I expect for under $15 each). You should see every one of them now. They are all beautiful trees.

I just sold one of the trees he sent me for $9.99 for $150 only because I am moving and won't have room for it. And they lady who got it is thrilled. I probably should have charged more.

He has also been quite helpful to me over the years with my plethera of questions.

I would not hesitate to order from Herter's Nursery. As a matter of fact, I am looking forward to it.

I purchased 3 seedlings of variety "Acer Palmatum Atropurpurea."
Good communication with John Herter about delivery via email. My new JM trees are very healthy and look great. I will consider making additional purchases from this mail order company. Overall, good experience with Herter Nursery!

I bought three three year trees all come express mail in two days in great shap some dirt removed wrapped in plastic as I was told they'd be. From payment to shipping 2 days fantastic. Quick response rate to my questions and all questions answered accuratly. Resonable shipping tree cost and quality merchandise. The boxes were a bit flimsy but adequate and more importantly the trees were in perfect condition ... a great source for a wide variey of JM's... David Myers

I have continued to buy trees from john and have continued to be satisfied. I do agree he is a bit stretched to thin at times and you have to be patient with his email responses but the product I have recieved as been excellent ( japanese maples named cultivars only) and priced reasonably and cheap and fast shipping . Leaf loss as stated by another post here is NOT unusual with semi bare root Jm's especially after may it has ahppened to me with potted JM's...if tree is put immediatly in sun . You CERTAINLY DON'T loose a years growth!!...the leaves just grow back period. I do NOT find this statement paticularly alarming but rather typical cause I have learned to harden a tree for a couple of weeks in the shade especially that time of year and into the summer...It is more difficult with semi bare root the John ships because you have to temp. pot it...or plant in a afternoon shaded area or just live with leaf loss . I would say I have had maybe ten trees do this and do just fine with the second leafing but NONE from John so I don't think it is a valid gripe.
