I was looking to purchase some guava trees for my home orchard, when I stumbled upon this forum and am I glad I did. After doing my research I have decided to not purchase any plant material from Willis Orchards. I have found that they have a F rating on the Better Business Bureau which indicates that they do not even reply to customer's concerns at all. After checking with the Colquitt County Court House it revealed that there are several companies currently suing Willisorchards.com. After seeing all this, I decided to do a simple search for Jason Willis, the owner, on Google to see what else I could find, and I discovered where he has put Willis Orchards and Paradise Palms Co up for sale at the price of nine million dollars, here's the link, (http://www.buybusiness.com/Businesses/13803/Multi-Million-Dollar-Mail-Order-Nursery-for-Sale-Top-Nationally-Recognized-Company). The reason for the sale is the owner, Jason Willis, wants to pursue other interests in a foreign country. I hope this means, he is not planing on going bankrupt and leaving all his customer's on the hook. Boy, am I glad I did 15 minutes worth of research it saved me $65.00, and in this economy that can go along way. Here is a link that might be useful: Willis Orchards For Sale

Jamie, For small fruits, Nourse out of Mass. is tops. I also have been extremely satisfied with Indiana Berry Co. I have also used two places out of Arkansas that have been very good--cheap too: Pense and Simmons. Pense had some personal tragedies that ended up in some company issues, but he made everything right with me. I certainly will use him again. I second Joe's suggestions on tree suppliers and would also add my favorite--Adams County. You are going to have an enormous investment of time with fruit. DO NOT go cheap on trees. You will end up with wimpy sticks that take years to begin to produce. Brook

Governmental agents have leaked a report of a widespread, ongoing investigation of Paradise Palm Co. Nursery and Willis Orchard Nursery, and that the owner of Willis Orchards has panicked to rush to sell out his company and to flee the United States. This result of this online information has been published at (www.buybusiness.com/Businesses/13803/Multi-Million-Dollar-Mail-Order-Nursery-for-Sale-Top-Nationally-Recognized-Company) Authorities claim that Paradise Palm Co. was formally a website operated under the Internet address, www.paradisepalmco.com owned by Jason Willis, who also owns www.willisorchards.com, and the closed down company, Paradise Palm Co. has been forced off the INTERNET due to illegal activities. Rumors fly, that the U.S.D.A, recently fined Willis Orchard Co. for illegally shipping infected citrus into Texas and other States. Jason Willis was forced to destroy all his on site diseased citrus trees and then to "Cease and Desist" the selling of citrus on the www.willisorchards.com website. A garden watchdog website, is reporting that Willis Orchard Nursery has compiled more negative complaints that positives, and the B.B.B. after three years is still showing an 'F' rating for www.willisorchards.com, a rating that is so bad. that you cannot even bring up the name Willis Orchards unless you type in the now defunct company, Paradise Palm Co in Moultrie, Georgia. It is unclear. whether or not, the greatly indebted and empty pockets of former suppliers of Willis Orchards will seek a Court intervention to block the sale of Willis Orchards, before the owner, Jason Willis, has a chance to flee the United States and pursue his other interests in a foreign county. Website investigators have advised present and past customers of Willis Orchards and Paradise Palm Co. to complain to the following agencies, if they have any complaints against the Willis Orchards complex, or if the customers are owed free replacements resulting from dead or infected plants.
