The bushes arrived in a single cardboard tube, stressed, piled up. very bad customer services, they respond late. They sent my order late. 4 of the bushes did NOT survive, and I asked them by email to replace at least two cherry akebonos that did NOT pass the scratch test. They replied two weeks ago that they sent me the two bushes, and they never arrived. I have bought trees in many places online and these people are not even trustworthy, don't take the risk.

They didn’t process my order for a very long time and then sent the package without enough postage (even though I had to pay over $60 for shipping) so the items were never delivered and Green Thumb isn’t answering my emails.

Bad company, would never order from them again.
Green Thumb, if you refund me in full for my $260+ order I’ll take down these reviews

Could not be more satisfied

I was very impressed with the care and condition these trees were received as. Still moist with no sign of damage. I think the best part of it all was the ease of planting them thanks to the well written planting and care instructions that was included.
I will definitely order from Green Thumbs Garden again.
