Ok, so inquiring minds want to know.
What is your favorite online nursery to order plants from.
If you order from several, what types of plants do you order from each.
IE: Trees at blah Perennials at hurm Bushes at wee
Looking forward to all your input on who you think is the best.. :)
Beyond the point that I asked?
Well, never mind.. I'll just stick with that I'd like to know, and I'm sure others may be interested in who people consider reputable merchants online for plants.
But whatever.
I've been pleased with trees from Stark Brothers.
Here is a review,
LOL.......

I just got the best plants I ever bought online from FantasticPlants.com. Big healthy things...conifers, maples, boxwoods and so on. Got some dandy azaleas from RarePlants.com too.
They will both be hearing from me again!
I like fairweather. They have open houses where you can pickup your plants.
Ps their catalogue is a great reference.
Looks like they have a big inventory.. Hard to follow the site though without images of the plants.. Keep having to google the images so I can see some of the ones I'm not sure of.
Huh, never heard of Witch Hazel before and they have a whole section on it.. Will need to check into that one.. :)
All in all good for their overall stock, if even you need to do a little extra searching to see what they look like.
Can see why you bring up the catalog.
Seems like a pretty good place with an OK selection.. Even brighter is their selection of grape vines, which I need to get more of.. :)
Wonder if I can still safely plant new vines (zone 6) this time of year.
I have one - it is a small shrub and has an interesting flowering habit.
Did it occur to you that nurseries specialize in different types of plants and online ones are no different? How can anyone give you advice when you haven't told us what kind of plants you want?
But, whatever. I guess your going to have to figure that out yourself.

Scott Hildenbrand expounded:
I prefer to hve a catalog in my hands. Easier to browse in bed, or in the...umm....library, yea, that's it! I'll order online, but give me printed material to get my order set.
Yes, actually it did.. Considering I'm not looking for anything specific I really feel no need to narrow it down. New home, new yard, so in terms of what "I" need it's wide open.
Thanks though, I will certainly enjoy figuring it out.. :)
20 years is a long time for them to realize mistakes and correct them..
Glad you said something about Gurneys.. Was looking through their stock just yesterday. Take it they're not great?
Forgot to mention that if you visit Fairweather gardens you may want to stop at Centerton Inn for lunch. Circa 1705 it is about 10 miles away.
Email me in the spring for a care box. Cost of postage only... C
Bay Laurel nursery, Raintree for fruit trees, Jungs nursery for cold hardy, Musser Forest for very inexpensive trees and bushes, Greer Gardens for all kinds of plants but especially flowering bushes. Ingrid
Another Tidbit I forgot.
Longwood Gardens may send some people over for the open houses to answer questions and local plant breeders help out too. They were there my few times I went. You miss all this online but if you are close to S. Jersey ? It may be a day trip the savings on shipping will buy you lunch and Gas.

Don't know about 20 years ago (I was only 4 then!!), but I ordered from Stark Bros. about 7 months ago, and was happy (& i still am!) with what I got. Personally, my favorite for other things is Spring Hill (springhillnursery.com). Love their sells & haven't had a problem with them yet. They have a nice color catalog also...
