Hi All,
New to the forum. I’m wondering if anyone on here can recommend nurseries to acquire Nikita’s Gift Persimmon from?
I saw that tyty in Georgia has it, but I’ve had mixed experiences with them in the past.
I’m based in central CT, zone 6b - but mail order is fine.
@Incarnata, I bought my Nikita’s Gift persimmon tree from Just Fruit and Exotics in December of 2022, though they are presently out of stock.
Not to worry though, Plant Me Green has them back in stock at the moment:
You might want to hurry.
Wow thank you for the incredible and timely responses! That is a very affordably priced plant, I think I will order one from them!
And Plant Me Green is where I sourced my Saijo persimmon at that same time.
Plant me Green has massive plants so they have a massive shipping price. One Green World offers them but with a cheaper shipping price
@elivings1, my shipping charge from Plant Me Green on 12/23/22 for my 2-3 foot tall Saijo persimmon tree was $15.00.
@Incarnata, the price for the Nikita’s Gift is also significantly less that what the Saijo cost me at that point.
My shipping charge was also a flat $15. And not a massive plant. To ship to the east coast from one green world, now that is a massive expense!!! Often the shipping ends up being more than the cost of the plants and I give up on my order
I concur. My shipping was a flat $15 as well, for a 42" tree.
Maybe because I live in Colorado my shipping was so high
It may be. I just ordered 1 tree as well, thier rates may stack?
@elivings1, it could be related to the distance that the package had to go in order to get to you. Plant Me Green is in Florida, and I am in Georgia, so I could definitely see that coming in at a higher charge for you.
Alternatively, was this some time ago? Shippers oftentimes change their pricing structure on a yearly basis, so the cost that Plant Me Green was charged by the shipping company could have changed significantly.
Again, I just want to say thank you to everyone who replied to my post. I acquired a tiny Nikita’s gift from logees last year and it promptly died or was possibly dead when I purchased it dormant in the very early spring. So I really value your responses. Thank you
I have not had good luck with logees. I got a few hardy passion flower from them and all died quickly while the ones from One Green World thrived. What was the difference I don’t know.
For future reference, please stay away from TyTy nursery. It is beyond awful. If you search this forum, there are many posts about this nursery.
Most victims were those new to growing fruit.
@mamuang, I am so thankful that I bypassed TyTy when I first ordered muscadine vines in 2018. I just had an uneasy feeling about them and was willing to pay a little bit more in order to get mine from Ison’s instead, and I am thankful that I did after reading about how many people here had bad experiences with TyTy or their other sub-businesses that operate under different names.
I bought 7 trees, 5 grape vines from them 1 raspberry bush… all doing well. Always fast delivery, next day or so shipping. Always a person , a knowledgeable person answers their phone, always answer my follow up questions via email as well. No, I am not new to growing garden. I had bad experiences with other large and known online nurseries, over priced items, not kept promises on delivery window etc. my only advice is to buy 4-5 or 5-6 ft trees from them. The only tree I had a problem with was a 2-3 ft plum tree which was dead on delivery- o was given a full refund for it. So, since then I am buying only larger trees. I have to tell, every time i bought a grape vine from them- it was excellent! My only advice do it fall- winter season for all plants. No those July plantings. In any zone.
You are one of few who sang praises to TyTy. My suggestion to avoid this nursery remains.
New account, praising TyTy goes immediately to my personal suspicious and on probation category.
I have noticed that and have the same suspicion.
did it fruit for you? has it been confirm that they are selling correct variety? i haven’t heard much about that nursery that is why im curious. thanks!
