For anyone considering buying citrus online I would highly recommend you research the seller here before you purchase anything.

I've used this location/service many times. You can research the seller, see their history, read buyer feedback. Matter of fact, I've left comments regarding sellers, both + and -. It's called Garden Watchdog and once you get to the site you can research the seller. You can either ask for them specifically or by the first alphabetical letter of their name.

I use it also and find it useful. Two comments though. The second worst of the two most notorious nurseries known to me is not listed (no doubt by some shenanigans; it sure used to be there). And some and perhaps many nurseries seem to be listed under "T" for their initial "The" in the name and thus might be easily missed.

Gonebananas, Welcome to the Citrus forum where you will never ever be sent on a vacation to Disneyland! If you dont know what I mean by this comment, just ask the moderators of this board! Laughing
The Garden Watchdog is a valuable service to anyone thinking of ordering plants or seed from a mail order nursery. The World Famous Nursery you are referring to that is no longer listed with them got some high powered lawyer and they threatend a lawsuit with Garden Watchdog if they didnt remove their name from the site. Last time I looked, (before they had their company pulled) they had like an 80% dissaproval rating. I dont know how they can fraud and rip off that many people. Looks like after the first few negative comments that they would have tried to clean up their act. Just wanted you to know why they are no longer listed and are free to scam unsuspecting gardeners. Just yesterday, I was talking with a guy who just got a PC for Christmas and he was telling me about this great website for a nursery he had stumbled onto.. You can guess who it was! Exclamation

Not mentioning any names but I believe it is located in "Ty Ty, Georgia"...

And yes I have heard many horror stories concerning this company...

Best I can say is do a google search on "TyTy rip off"
