Fall planting in MD and TyTy Nurseries
Comments (9)They come by that reputation honestly.......or maybe I should say dishonestly :-) Seriously, the complaints and bad reviews about this nursery have been going on for YEARS!! I'm surprised they've even managed to stay in business with the amount of bad press they receive. And justifiably so. Before they threatened Garden Watchdog with a lawsuit resulting in the deletion of all reviews and any direct mention of the place, complaints were at about 5:1 versus any favorable reviews and were hliarious at best and heartbreaking at worst - bad labeling, dead plants, no plants, shipping fiascos, no refunds, overcharging, charging the account multiple times, sending things not ordered/not sending what was ordered......the list is endless. There was some evidence that the positive reveiws were actually posted by TyTy employees/management just so there would be some sort of positive remark about the nursery. If it was just an issue of shipping difficulties, that might be overlooked with adequate customer service but they've gone faaaarrrrr beyond that point. Stay away. Stay very far away. The trees can be ordered elsewhere and spring planting will be just fine....See MoreNero Caesar Figs From TY Ty
Comments (10)My "Nero Caesar" cultivar is now about 5 years old. The question about its hardiness has been answered. As the root system matured, the fig became hardier, which has been the case with several of my less hardy figs such as Black Jack (a dwarf variant of California Brown Turkey or San Peiro). The "Nero Caesar" is now a nice-looking little bush pruned to 7 trunks. The figs have improved in size as it has gotten older. They don't appear much smaller than a regular Celeste. There's not really much difference in my other Celeste variants (a couple of which are heirloom figs of Central Texas whose pedigrees date back many years - one found in south Austin, Texas and another in a Lutheran churchyard in Giddings, Texas.) Celeste, Eastern Brown Turkey and Magnolia (Brunswick) are, in my experience, the most common heirloom figs in Alabama or Texas. Leon's advice regarding obtaining rooted plants or cuttings from a reputable collector still holds true. On the other hand, if you are confident in identifying cultivars, you can sometimes pick up nice-sized figs at a bargain at Home Depot, Lowe's, or other chains. If the fig is labeled and fruiting and the fruit matches the known characteristics of the cultivar, then you can take a chance on it. Last year, I picked up a 5-gal. Eastern Brown Turkey and a Kadota for about $5.00 - $10.00 apiece. I only have about 6 or 7 Kadotas under various names (Banana, Binella, White Texas Everbearing, etc.), so, as a compulsive collector, it was absolutely necessary to acquire the fig!...See MoreIs TyTy Nurseries legit?
Comments (130)Several times throughout the years I made major purchases from TyTy Nursery and always had a good result. One day I saw this forum as I was looking for the TyTy site, and I read it. My own experiences were so different from most posted that I thought it was in the public's best interest to hear of my own positive ones, and so I expressed them on three seperate occasions in writing in this very forum. I have no interest in TyTy and do not know any of the people connected with it, even remotely. As the next person who reads this thread may see, what I did in sharing the truth as I actually experienced it brought down upon me personally the type of comments you can read above this posting. What you cannot read is the other two positive reports I posted over the years and the resulting vituperative attacks because the forum censor removed them, although my personal comments were truthful, informative, detailed and inoffensive to any unbiased reader. Because I think it is a good thing for folks to have all the information, good and bad, I shared what I personally knew. It seems that this forum itself is slanted in its viewpoint to the extent that it is not credible. This is not a comment on TyTy one way or the other, because obviously it has been problematic for other people, no matter how much I personally have been pleased. For a forum to pose itself as a place one can share experiences as to "Is Ty Ty Nurseries legit?" and then censor or redact unbiased positive comment on the nursery itself is simply unfair, and for that reason I will have nothing further to do with it and this is my last entry. I am sure this will come as a relief to some folks who comment here,many of whom have never made a single purchase from TyTy but simply love to express their opinions. If history repeats itself and the censor strikes again, these comments will simply be erased as the past ones were. I believe some folks complained that I was upsetting them to the forum, and so the censor was sent on a mission. The truth is hard for some folks to take, and where it troubles the ones in power by disputing the official line, ad hominem attacks and censorship are soon to follow. So, All the Best to all of you people of good will. May your gardens bloom and your hearts be gentle....See MoreTy Ty Nursery
Comments (11)Probably too late to dispute charges on your credit card. Most CC cos. won't accept disputes after 3 billing periods. You will need to try resolving a dispute directly before filing a report with the BBB or the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs. Check website below for information about how to proceed with action toward the company, including a sample letter. Was your shipment accompanied by a green GA Department of Agriculture Plant Inspection tag? Required by the Department's regulations. If not, email Tommy Irvin, Commissioner, at: tirvin@agr.state.ga.us and report failure of proof of inspection. Also, ask for determination of a valid Live Plant Nursery License. They were not listed in the current Book. Both of the GA Government entities have enforcement powers, the BBB does not. Good luck and Welcome to GW-Georgia Gardener! :-) BTW, Growers Outlet has 3G size CM's for $8 and had 4 colors, in bloom. Here is a link that might be useful: GA Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs...See Morewedgeworthp_comcast_net
