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 MoreTyTy Nursery Georgia
Comments (14)There are no sufficient words to describe what a lousy reputation Ty-TY has with fig growers, and gardeners. Their claims are exagerated, and you will be lucky if you get what you ordered. Mislabeled fig trees are very common, and customer service handling complaints will cause you blood pressure to reach stroke levels. Big figs usually have very little flavor, and almost always, photos of breba figs are shown in the ads. Main-crop figs are usually much smaller. Don't be fooled by the thoughts of growing giant, delicious, figs. "Patrick's Super Giant" might be the over-rated "Texas Blue Giant". I spent two long years waiting for my "TxBG" to produce figs. They were horrible! Half the crop dropped off the tree, and the figs that did ripen, had an insipid, bland "flavor" if you could call it that. A real "zero" in my book. Save your money and buy a real tasty fig variety. Your "German Black Giant" might turn out to be a far superior fig. A forum search will give you plenty of information about fig varieties, and reading past postings is very informative. By the way, if not too much trouble...can you post more pics. of the "GBG" figs, and shots of your tree. I'm also growing this variety, but I'm finding very little information in print, about this fig. You ARE growing "German Black Giant" are you not? How old is your tree, and how many years did you wait for figs? Any critiques about this variety? Good luck, and happy growing. Frank...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
