Good Asian Plant Nursery in NJ

16 years ago

Hi,

I am looking for good Asian Plant Nursery in and around NJ. Any suggestions?

Mainly looking for

Jasminum azoricum

Jasminum beesianum

Jasminum grandiflorum

Jasminum simplicifolium subsp suavissimum

Jasminum polyanthum

Nyctanthes arbor-tristis

Lawsonia inermis (Mehndi)

I know many online sites --but with too expensive shipping charges.

Thanks

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a nursery that caters to such a specific niche.

Your best bet is to inquire at the New Jersey Gardening Forum. And/or ask for those plants at the Plant Exchange Forum. You may be surprised at responses you'll get for who can send you a plant, certainly doesn't hurt to ask.

You can also go to The Garden Watchdog, particularly, this Search Page. Narrow the category by State.

I was just there this weekend. My second year buying plants, and, like last year, I got tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and basils....just more of 'em this time. :) I wouldn't hesitate to drive 45 minutes to a place like this. I'm sure you know that you can also do mail order....me? I really enjoy browsing in nurseries and gardens. Of course, it's a far easier decision for me than for you, as I'm only about 15 minutes from them If you just want to order plants and don't mind the additional amount charged to have them pick & pack them for you, then I think you can mail order with total confidence. OTOH, I believe neither the basils nor the cilantros (and they have several varieties) are available via mail order. Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to mail order -- but I also wouldn't think twice about driving the 45 minutes and wandering the greenhouses and picking out my own stuff. It's a lot of fun, you get to pick the particular plant you want, and you get a kind of hits-you-between-the-eyes sense of just how many choices you actually have. If you want just a few things, I'd say do it via mail. If you want to back up the truck and use a forklift to get all your stuff into it, then it's probably both cheaper and more efficient to stop by and pick them up. :) And BTW, despite coming home more than enough plants, I'm going back for more! I've decided I "need" some hot peppers and a lot more tomatoes. :)))

Asian Pear - Any Experience With Miller Nurseries
Q

Yeah, maybe they've changed, or maybe knowledgeable people don't order from them so the wool stays over customers eyes longer. I want to hear from a customer who bought a wide range of varieties from them and found them to consistently be true to name and at least 1/2 inch caliber at time of purchase. When I started my nursery business I ordered things from them I could not find elsewhere and it was terrible how often I didn't get what I ordered but had to wait 6 years to find out. I've dealt with many, many nurseries and none has approached their carelessness. I only wish those mislabled trees had died! So maybe they've become a better nursery in the last several years, who knows? Let's hear from some others who have had enough time to know if the trees they ordered came true to name. I admit that my experience with Miller is ancient history by now. But do they still claim that their clones are somehow hardier than those from other nurseries?

This book is excellent. I had the good fortune of reading a copy given to one of the nurseries listed in the book. The information is accurate with a touch of humor. The author has included personal stories and background information about the nursery owners that give this guide a friendly feeling. The included directions are right on and include hours of operation. With this guide, searching for new places and plants will be as much fun as enjoying them after they are planted. Kirk

Who can recommend a nursery in Nothern NJ?
Q

I would suggest Metropolitan Plant Exchange (they are located in Fort Lee, Paramus, and West Orange). Also good is Strawberry's in Wayne (I have found many more rare exotics there). Also good is D'Angelos in Dumont (especially for winter hardy plants) Also, try Corrados in Clifton (I have bought citrus and banana trees in addition to hardy Southern Magnolias here). Finally, try DiPiero Farms in Montvale, NJ (near NYS border). Good luck!

I am ordering some plants from www.Bhatia-nurseries.com

i have not received any yet, i will let you know.

Yes i know shipping is expensive.they are located in New york, maybe you can drive & find out for yourself first hand.

i live in wisconsin so i have to have them shippied.

Did u have any luck with Nyctanthes arbor-tristis ? Bhatia has this plant (2.5" size is 10$) i understand it is a rare plant they are making available for us in USA. i am ordering jasmines right now . Seeds are available at bananatree but i have heard a few bad reviews about that site, their minimum order is 15$.so i will think about Nyctanthes arbor-tristis(parijat).

The other plant Lawsonia inermis (Mehndi), seeds are available at www.tradewindsfruit.com , they have no minimum to order & .25cents shipping per seed packet. that is WOW, i would say, they are a reputed company to order from.

If you email me ,we can keep in touch. thanks for your time. Malini.

Hi,
I did order few plants from BN-like--Jasminum Sambac "Grand Duke Of Tuscany" (Butt Mograw), Piper Betle (Pan), Crossandra Infundibuliformis (Kanakambra), Rajanigundo Single Tuberose. Although I got what I wanted I am not satisfied with the plants. Jasminum is quite good. However, Pan--is almost at the verge to dying, Crossandra- did not survive and Tuberose did not produce flowers even after almost a year. I also visited BN few weeks ago and bought 'Ajmo'--is doing quite good. When I visited BN--it is not that impressive and feel plants are quite weak.
I am not sure where you live--it is better for you to visit BN before ordering any plants--this is my opinion. Even 'Currey Leaf' plant looks very dull, where as at logee's and else where they look quite healthy. Hope this helps. As a person I am very particular with my plant collection and their healthÂI believe that good roots produce good plant.
