Interesting variety selection, but completely unknown to me. Anyone know anything about them?
Full on Scam.
Im hoping that someday a very good lawyer buys from places like them, TyTy and Willis.
So far its not happened and for decades it must be totally legal to rip people off and get away with it.
I did a deep dive into them a couple of years ago and they had several sites going with handbags, jewelry etc. The other sites have been removed due to ripping so many people off.
Plants seem to be the best scam… as it takes a few years if not longer for the customer to realize they got scammed. Then there is nothing anybody can do about it.
The European things that they sell are a dead giveaway… most of that stuff isnt in this country at all.

I have ordered for years from Willis with never a problem. Isom’s too. TyTy I avoid.
I’ve ordered 4-5 times from Willis also. My results ranged from excellent to absolute trash.
@krismoriah Is it part of the long list of TYTY scam sites or is that what you were talking about with the handbags?
Im not sure… maybe the tyty guy creates other sites in his spare time… or has employees that create them. He is above the law and so is rootsplantsshop as far as i can tell.
They may be gone now, but TYTY had about 5 other sites. They would create websites with different names, but they were all TYTY. Wonder what happened to the guy that came on here saying he bought them? He got crushed like the fig king and never came back. Me and others advised him to change the name, but our advice meant nothing to him.

He apologized to some of us… he refunded me in full for two orders.
I think a few folks tried to ‘help’ him by convincing him to just be honest about what he sells.
In the end he like several others do what is best for them and it seems to work… as there are new customers all the time for them.
If you flaw him… you will have to flaw most used car lots and marketplace sellers. ‘Ran when i parked it’ etc.
Its human nature for some people to just take advantage… its a shame there is no law against it… but in all fairness the internet is rich with stories going back decades of how they operate.
There is truly a sucker born every minute. I was one of them and i also did not do my due diligence.
So to answer your question TyTy and Willis make millions of dollars and their business model works for them… im sure that they get chargebacks and nasty emails and probably lawsuits… but thats probably factored into the cost of doing business.
Doyle’s Thornless Blackberry still lies just about every day on facebook… but they are still going.
FAQ should tell you all you need to know. Are you buying plants or something you have to self assemble?
I think where i was last with it in my thinking was that someone here spoofed the real nursery website. Not sure why anyone would go thru that amount of trouble but it made the most sense to me.
This is a legit UK website and nursery as far as i can tell.
The USA one is not.
