I just ordered a catalog from them. Already making my wish list. They came highly recommended by a professional horticulturist friend.

Not only have I been very pleased with them, but recommended them to some friends locally who were also extremely pleased.

I have ordered from these folks several times. Nice plants and packaged very very well. Love their catalog too!!!

Sometime the plants are smaller then expected but I think they are great, excellent coustomer service, just order early. They have stuff that can be had no place eles and they say they are a very small operation.

I just got their cataloge in the mail. I thought that someone had sent me a book! They have an amazing selection. I'm glad to read that they have a good reputation.

I am one of the few who begs to differ. I was a big customer for several years, but Forestfarms sent me 3 wrong plants and stubbornly insisted that they were the right plants: an 8ft Philadelphus vs a dwarf, a yellow Aster vs a Monch and a totally different conifer from a Picea arbies I wanted. I have not ordered any plants from there since. It's not worth the aggrevation and the exhorbitant shipping and handling.

Their plant material has arrived in perfect condition. Their catalog and on-line service is remarkable. My one is the cost of postage. I guess they are only charging what the USPS is charging them. I live in Oregon and no matter how close the postage is the same. Hmmm... I do think they have greater costs for those customers furthur away. Being a customer I would like less of a cost because I could buy more plants. It's a rotten dirty cycle if you ask me. Sherry

I rec'd my latest order from them this week. I think they are a good deal considering the number of plants they offer. Plants don't always look the best, but they are well packed and resonably priced. Shipping is high, but no higher than most other places, and I can get plants I wouldn't be able to otherwise.

After perusing their catalog during the winter I placed a order for nine tubes. The plants arrived in excellent condition and extremely well packaged. They have an incredible selection of plant material. The plants in the tubes are small but I expected as much. I plan on ordering from them, again, in the future.

I've had good luck with Forestfarm plants--although I've also killed my share of them. It's not Forestfarm's fault, though. I have this thing about trying to grow things that aren't hardy here (well, officially), or that don't necessarily do well in this climate because it's so dry. I can't blame Forestfarm for MY crazies.

Yes this is the GO-TO company for those in the know. They package all their trees extremely well and have actually invented their own method. Not to say that packing trees/plants is hard, but you'd be surprised at how many stooges just toss a plant in a box and don't care to protect it from damage. Forest Farms has a great selection and astounding customer service. You can tell they actually care and they are in my home state, Oregon.

I've ordered many times in past years but the last couple of years there are way too many *Out of Stock* messages when I click on a plant I want--I mean many, many. IMO. Also, their website is very old fashioned. Please take your out of stock plants off or put them in one section. I've wasted so much time searching their database only to find yet another *Out of Stock* notice where the price for the plant would be.

The customer service and packing is good but many times they *have no idea* when a plant will be back in stock.

I have ordered from Forest Farm for over 15 years. I initially picked them because they offered several varieties of mock orange shrubs. They are a great company and I still order from them.

Old thread, I hope they are still getting good reviews somewhere. I have ordered some plants. They shipped last Thursday (why on Earth before a weekend) and per the tracking number will not be here until next Thursday. I will update how the plants look.
