| I have ordered from them, but not trees. I have heard you have to dig to find what rootstocks. I ordered raspberries and blueberries. Even though they know my zone they sent them a month early. I would suggest to give them a delivery date in advance. The plants were very nice, healthy, good sized, all survived, all grew very well. I would order again, but only if they accepted my delivery date. I believe the original owners sold long ago, but the nursery itself is one of the oldest around. Founded in 1816. |

| They used to be mediocre but they got bought out a few years ago and since then I have been pretty satisfied with their stock. They just bought out Millers and its unclear how well they will fold Millers' operation in -- Millers was a notch or two down in quality. Scott |

| Miller was a notch down, but had some unique items. So far not offered at Stark Bros. It must be a mess! I find the plant guides useful for beginner's, I also like how you can adjust your order yourself online. They have one of the most advanced web sites for a nursery around. I cancelled one raspberry and ordered another one, without emailing, or calling, and they got it right. Impressive! I wish all nurseries had such advanced software. The web master set it up just about perfect! |

| I have ordered from both Miller's and StarkBros in the past and have been satisfied. Only one tree from Miller's did not make it and they replaced it with no problems at all. Mike |
