In the past 2 years I have ordered about 80 rhododendrons from Singing Tree Gardens. Their rhododendrons are expensive, but they have a nice selection. However their plants are very small for the price, with underdeveloped root systems. About a third of the plants I ordered died after planting. During the same time I have purchased a couple hundred rhododendrons from other nurseries and have never lost one. I contacted Singing Tree, and they told me as soon as the order arrived at my house they have no responsibility over the plants or what happened to them in shipping, and it is the customer's problem.
I have been a member of The Rhododendron Species Society and the American Rhododendron Society. I have grown and cared for rhododendrons for sixty years. I have never had problems from any vendor before. I highly recommend to never buy rhododendrons from them. However, I have purchased heathers and grasses from Singing Tree that have been fine.

I ordered 12 plants (each one is around $15 ) and waited for two weeks ,but nothing came to my house. So I called and emailed them. In the sameday I called, they left me a message that they started to delivery it. And finally I got my order 16 days after the purchase. And that's not the worst thing. I bought the plants of 1 gallon size,but what the real size is less than 2.5Qt.In the picture, the one of half of my palm is theirs ($15) comparing to the 2.5Qt one from Lowes(8.98$,with flowers on) . I felt so dissapointed that I emailed them to complain and ask for solution. You know what, Sara responsed me quickly this time.She blamed the Covid-19 and me of not cancelling the order before it is delivered. How rediculous it is! After I ordered, how could I know they would spend such a long time to deliver and how poor the quality the products are! I know it's hard time for everyone in the pandemic. But I didn't only order from Singing Tree, I also ordered from other business but frankly speaking, nothing worse than their products and service.
