    $40 dragon fruit
    Graciela C.

    Finally found a 20 gallon plastic planter for my dragon fruits. They were plastic of high quality (unlike Home Depot's cheap ass planters). They cost $15 which I found to be very reasonable. This place has a wide variety of plants and although I am not a connoisseur, I saw longan trees, other fruit trees and two varieties of dragon fruit (yellow cost about $40) and the pink one (cutting about 2-3 feet tall) with budding beginning to appear. Will come back for more planters soon.

    Just look at the root. How could they sell this and charged $115 for it?

    The fruit trees I bought from here kept dying. I asked the old guy working there. He rudely said it was because of the cold weather. I've been watching videos about soil from Gary's Best Gardening. He made a case that trees are dying because all nurseries are planting them in organic matter. I have first-hand proof that Gary is 100% correct. I pulled out the dead trees and the root had dried up from being suffocated by the rotting compost. I paid $115 for a 7-gallon green wax apple and another $115 for a sugar apple. Both are completely dead. Here are the pictures. The reasons for the 1 star is the owner is ahole. His answers were short and condescending. The old man who worked there was borderline crazy. They charged premium for trees that couldn't make past 3 months.

    Much better than Arcadia Garden!老罗苗圃, Great olace to buy tropical fruit trees. I am satifised. Again... always visit several nurseries, Then, make your decision about where to buy! Don't spend 2000$ , then get all dead trees from Arcadia Garden.

    $8, i forgot to ask how much

    On the last 30 minutes before they closed, i went in to look for my pandan plant. Luckily i located the lady I spoke to before arrived. I got my pandan plant in a jiffy. Since I only had limited time I was only able to see a small part of the nursery & all it has to offer-bummer! i'll definitely come back next time for other hard-to-find plants. The staff were attentive & helpful. There was this Rainier Cherry tree about 16-20 feet tall for $350, so...price-wise I can't give it a scale in terms of affordability. Variety on the other hand, they have in spades! I want to return just to see what else they have!!

    Terribly rude customer service, I was there to see a Black Tulip Magnolia tree and I asked the Vietnamese guy which I believe he is the owner of this place for the price, he said $200, and I said it's a bit higher than other places, then he said to me in a ver rude way "don't buy it ". Very disappointed with his nasty attitude I bought it at San Gabriel nursery for $160 same size and same height. See Photos below

    He's a friendly and warm person, and my uncle told me if Newman's not there then we won't buy anything.

    After visiting Present Perfect in Pasadena, I drove from north to south through the middle of the…read moreSan Gabriel Valley. There are several major north-south roads in this area, and Rosemead Boulevard is one of them. San Gabriel Boulevard is another. The road is wide and easy to drive. The nursery is right across the street from Com Tam Kieu Restaurant, one of the better Vietnamese broken rice restaurants in Southern California. On the way there, I passed a construction site, probably a new apartment building. It strongly gave me the impression of an EB-5 green card project, the kind of real estate development marketed less as a normal apartment building and more as an immigration investment package for Chinese buyers. In the middle of the SGV, that feeling was hard to miss. After that came the nursery. I drove from north to south, made a left turn onto a smaller street, and parked outside. The entrance is tiny. You walk through it and immediately reach the counter, where there was even a line. After that, you pass into an indoor room stocked with fertilizers, plant stakes, soil, mulch, and other gardening supplies. Beyond that is the back garden, which is much larger than expected and quite elegant. The plants are clearly well cared for, and the stone sculptures give the place a strong hint of Chinese culture. Along the edge of the main building, there are stacks of Buddha heads, seated Buddhas, and other stone figures, mostly in Chinese Buddhist or imagined Buddhist styles, though not necessarily following any strict traditional standard. There are Chinese signs everywhere, which makes sense for a nursery in the middle of the SGV. Many of the plants have bilingual names. The prices are not cheap, but they are fair. The orchids are much more expensive than what you would find at Trader Joe's or Costco, but they are also more beautiful and much stronger, so I would not call them overpriced. The plants use different colored tags, similar to what you see in many American discount stores. Some are very cost-effective. It is definitely worth stopping by, and even more worth it if you happen to find some good discounted plants. The cashier was a little rude, but as a Chinese person, I found it completely acceptable. I have seen much worse. Even though she was in a rush, the service was not bad. She even gave me an extra bag so the soil would not spill in my car. Overall, this is a good nursery and I would recommend it. It is even better if you understand Chinese culture, because many of the details will make more sense.

The original owners are now long gone, but Mike has continued running the business in the same style and fashion as the original owners. Mike is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The company doesn't need to advertise; his customers' good words does that. If Mike doesn't have what you need, he can get it for you or send you to another nursery. The nursery is not a retail establishment; however, if you are planning to redo your yard and need a lot of plants, you can send your landscaper to Sakaida and Mike will work with him, or you. Or if you want a couple of big trees. If you want just a few plants, go to San Gabriel Nursery; they are a great outfit. Sure, you can get plants cheaper at Home Depot, but their sales people aren't nurserymen and they really don't know anything about plants, soils, fertilizer, growing seasons, watering, etc. If you want to buy a tree, Mike is going to ask "Where are you going to plant it?" I was going to buy a couple of large mulberry trees and plant them in the front yard and he warned: "Don't plant it near the driveway or sidewalk...as it gets older, it is going to raise them!" Mike saved me from a disaster. You won't get this kind of advice at Home Depot.
