Comments regarding Tree Seeds (aka treeseeds.com)

I recently put in an order with treeseeds.com. I was hesitant based on all the negative feedback. I feel it is worth putting up this review since my experience was not negative.

I put in an order June 25, I got a confirmation email. Then, it shipped July 8, and I got another confirmation email for shipping. The order arrived a reasonable amount of time later.

I will consider ordering from them again.

I saw some negative reviews here but decided to go ahead and give TreeSeeds a shot anyway because they have such a great variety of options. I ordered six different types of seeds in two separate orders because I found more I liked after placing the initial order. I received shipping confirmation for both orders the following day and within two business days the seeds were in my mailbox and labeled in small ziploc bags. All appear to be in great condition so I'm going to start working on them and hopefully I'll have some new additions to my garden next year. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Tree Seeds. They seem to have overcome whatever issues they had in the past and they're getting orders out promptly.

I gave this company a positive because I did eventually get my order from them.
It was not a large order ( around 35 cnd) nor were any of the seeds anything fancy. Most were native to my part of the world.
I order on the 21st of Feb 2020 and they order shipped on the 2nd of march and for to me in east coast Canada by the 11th.
The seeds came in individual bags that look like they should have contained something else from when i was a teenager...and all the smaller baggies were then places in a Ziploc baggie.The small baggies have the standard size labels used in a printer and have nothing but common tree name on them. I'll change this if none of the seeds germinate.
I still would not recommend anyone order anything from them due to the large amount of complaints against them.
However I did receive exactly what i order even if it didn't come as expected.

I've placed 3 orders with them for black cherry seeds and they came promptly each time.

I ordered 50 Colorado Blue Spruce seeds. I received them in 2 days! They came in a small ziplock bag with a label that says "Colorado Blue Spruce". I ordered 50 seeds, but received about 200 seeds... nice! The seeds were all dry and clean and similar in appearance. I then visited their site where they say no stratification is needed for Colorado Blue Spruce, so on Dec. 25th, I attempted to germinate 5 seeds using the damp paper towel in a ziplock bag method. It only took 3 days for 2 seeds to germinate, 2 other seeds didn't germinate, and the last seed began to germinate but then quit. I planted the 2 seeds that germinated, and both have grown now for a month and are about 1 inch tall. Both developed 5 cotyledons, but then 1 seedling dried up and died before developing any real needles. The other seedling is still going strong, and now has 9 real needles in addition to it's 5 cotyledons (which all 5 still appear healthy and haven't fallen off yet). So at the time of this review, in the dead of a Minnesota winter and with no stratification, my "Germination to 1 Month Old Seedling" survival rate is at 20%, or 1 out of 5 seeds. I'm currently trying to germinate 4 more seeds, in damp paper towels, but only 1 has begun to sprout so far, and appears to have quit sprouting. I've also been reading online about how others grow spruce varieties from seeds and so I am also trying the "soak the seeds in water for 24 hours method" before placing them in the damp paper towels. I started 10 more seeds soaking in water just 10 hours ago... 5 have sunk to the bottom and 5 are still floating at this time. 1 of the seeds that sunk to the bottom has cracked open and begun to sprout already, after only 10 hours in the water. So at this time I'm quite happy with my results so far and I'm curious to see if these seeds will spring to life and really start sprouting fast as we enter the warm springtime. If only the 1 seedling I have now survives to the plant in my yard stage, I'd have to say that this was money well spent. Not to mention I'm having a lot of fun doing this and find it quite satisfying. And I've still got about 180 seeds left that I can mess around with. So based on my experience with this company so far, I'd more than likely buy from them again in the future. It's been a good experience for me so far.

I recently placed an order with treeseeds.com and could not be more pleased. This was my first order with them and I will definitely use them again in the future. My order arrived very quickly. I ordered eight different kinds of seeds and they all look fantastic. I can't speak for the germination rate yet but assume if I follow their instructions, they should be fine. Every kind of seed had several extras in the bag. Super value for the money.

This was my first order - ordered 8 different seed types. My seeds arrived in 3 days, looked good and have started germinating. I'm placing my 2nd order today.

This is the second year that I have purchased maple tree seeds from treeseeds.com I have only positive things to say about their seeds and service. The seeds are plump and clean, with a very high rate of germination. This is a company that has earned my trust and patronage.

WOW :) I received my seeds in just 4 days (to Belgium) ! The service is excellent, the seeds look very good and you get more seeds in some packs :) I will order again

Seed are excellent. Meaty and a good size. When you order alot of seeds you can tell what's going to grow just by looking at them. This company is at the top of my list.

First time ordering from this company. Extremely fast response, excellent seeds,and fast cheap shipping. Will be ordering again .AAAA-rating.

Website easy to navigate. General index is in common names, not scientific (these are listed in each selection). Reasonably priced, and with a good amount of seed sent. Very fast delivery - seeds arrived within 3 days of placing order (East coast delivery).
Recommend for some one looking for seed for a mix of the more common native and non-native trees and shrubs.
