Mimosa Nursery is one of those places you almost have to experience for yourself. The inventory is impressive. I've picked up a miracle fruit tree, passion fruit, and wax apples here, and I'm already planning to come back for a sapodilla and sugar apple if he has them in stock. If you're into rare fruit trees, you'll probably find yourself wandering around longer than you planned. The owner reminds me of Deebo from Friday (the movie). He's usually cruising around the nursery on his beach cruiser with a serious look on his face, making rounds and checking on the trees. He isn't the type to walk you through the nursery or give you a guided tour. If you have questions, you'll probably need to flag him down yourself. The funny thing is he kind of grows on you. His answers are usually short and to the point, and if you're serious about varieties, you'll want to do your own research because the labeling can be a little sketchy and his answers aren't always crystal clear. What won me over is that he's fair on pricing and willing to negotiate. On larger trees, I've been able to bargain him down close to 30%, often even a lot more. That's getting harder and harder to find these days at other nurseries. It's definitely not the polished nursery experience you'll get at some of the other places, but that's part of the charm. Good inventory, good deals, and a memorable owner. I'm not making this stuff up. You just have to come experience it yourself. Maybe go on a Friday! :P read more

Came here to pick up some fruit trees for my fiance's mom. We tried calling first but no one answered, so we planned to stop by instead. When we arrived, we realized we went to the wrong location (our first visit to Mimosa Nursery was somewhere else apparently!) But we still found what we needed. It was a little hard to find at first, so when you arrive, you might not really see the entrance, so I'll attach photos of what to look for. We were the only ones there, got help when we needed it, and found what we were looking for. It's self-guided; no one greeted us or spoke to us until we needed someone to talk to. The people we were speaking with were knowledgeable about their plants and helpful in packing it so dirt wouldn't fall out. Super easy for us to get in & get out, and I'm sure we'll be coming back again for more! read more

Have a huge selections of exotic fruits , cherimoya, wax apples, etc. and common ones such as apples, cherries and guavas etc. This is obviously not the type of nursery where the employees greets you warmly , self guided and self perused through the nursery until you find what you need. read more

For the people in the reviews saying their trees died I think some don't understand these tropical trees that are being sold are grown mainly in Florida and need extra care in a different region. So my purchases have not been the case the owner was nice and showed me around to the trees and his helper helped to bag them up and placed them in my vehicle for me. Don't be thrown off by others this place has a great selection of exotic fruit trees like to other and the prices are comparable. read more

The Vietnamese guy working inside that place is unfriendly whatever you asked he seems don't want to answer or help, he tells me there you go to look very bad attitude read more

Horrible customer service! They close earlier than advertised, the only help the owner is able to give is come back tomorrow. And they do not pick up their phone when you call nor are you able to leave a message. I think the overhead powerlines that this nursery is under a really fried the owner's brain. read more

The Asian guy, maybe the owner, was arrogant, rude, and condescending. We stopped him to ask questions, and rather than getting off his bike to talk to us, he started biking in circles and answering our questions with attitude. We asked where one type of plant was and he pointed to the front of the store over 100 meters away and said "it's there." It's a nursery! With hundreds of plants. Where is THERE? A lot of the plants don't have prices on them, some don't even have names, and the nursery isn't well marked with signage. The only reason I'm not giving this place 1 star is that I ran into another customer who was a regular there. HE was nice and friendly. He told us we should negotiate the price down, and gave us planting tips on what not to do with the jujube tree we bought (don't plant it near sewage lines). read more

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. read more

This place is my mom favorite place to get fruit plants. The price here is really cheap compare to down in Orange county. The workers nice and knowledgably. We never had any problems with the workers or plants. I suggest buying the fruit plants when there is a sale, its a lot cheaper than buying it down in Orange county. read more

I come here occasionally with my classmates to look at plants to purchase and it's been a great experience with the latino gentleman, I don't know his name, I'm sorry. I went again today and had a price question about a plant, I took a photo of it and went to ask the Asian guy about it, and before I even spoke he immediately said "no we don't sell plants back here." I was taken back because I didn't even get a word out. I continued to ask him how much this plant was, and then he yelled at me saying "WE DONT SELL PLANTS BACK HERE" kind of scared me and my classmates so we ended up leaving. He then followed us to the exit on his bike. Oh and also, he was also following us everywhere we went. Pretty creepy. read more

I love this nursery. Excellent variety of exotic and hard to find trees and plants. Very knowledgeable staff. Good prices.

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

The good: My family in NorCal heard about this place and introduced it to me. It is much more difficult to grow certain fruit trees up north so my parents made it a point to visit this place when they visited me down here. They have a dirt parking lot out front. The workers here was friendly and told us about discounts that they had. The worker we spoke with was knowledgeable about the fruit plants we inquired about. There are many tropical fruit trees and rare plants. My mom came looking for white pomegranate trees and she saw plenty! It is very hard to find tropical fruit trees but they have every kind you can think of here. There are trees for avocado, papaya, jackfruit, plums, grapefruit, starfruit, apples, cherries, Asian pear, lychee, longan, soursop, sugar apple and much more. There is so much to look at here! Many of the plants looked great and healthy. The bad: The place is narrow and long. The interesting: You can have plants delivered/shipped! They also have lots of gorgeous bonsai plants. read more

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 read more

Came here with my mother looking for plants for my back yard. They have a large selection including Vietnamese fruits, which my mother preferred. I got a wonder cherry blossom and a sweet love plant, which smells divine. Newman was really helpful and very enthusiastic. I will definitely ask for his help next time. He taught us alot about planting. read more

I bought African Pride online from Mimosa. While shipping is fast and on time, I can't say anything else positive. The price I paid and what I got was a rip off. It is so small and lack luster, not very healthy, some infestation on it. Seriously this business has no conscience selling this plant for a very high price. When I received it, I had to curse out loud. Thats how ridiculous this plant was. read more

Came here with my mother to purchase two plants. The nursery is really big a little pricey. The reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because the older man who helped out my mom was so rude. Won't come back read more

Love this place.. finally I got a ruby supreme guava! They are super nice. Definitely will return if I can create more garden space for exotic fruit trees. If you are looking for fruit I highly recommend checking this place out even if you just browse. read more

Mimosa Nursery - Entrance - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Rosemead, California

THIS BUSINESS DESERVES A ZERO STAR. THIS PLACE DOES NOT DERSERVE BUSINESS FROM THE COMMUNITY. The old man speaking mandarin was very rude. We asked him some questions and apparently he did not know how to answer those questions, so he started to talking about "Why you guys have so many questions and I am very busy, don't waste of my time." That is not the worst. If you end up not buying any plant, the old man will start yelling at you and being mad at you. There are a lot of nurseries in the area. Definitely DO NOT go to this place. read more

It was a nice walk through the nursery. A gentlemen working their gave my husband many tips on trying to grow plants. Very helpful.

Good place for fruit trees with reasonable prices. Had a bit of difficulty in communication but all went well finally. It's been a year and my trees are growing great. Highly recommended. read more

The service was great and plants are priced even greater. I purchased a mango tree and they helped me load it into the vehicle. I'll be purchasing more from Mimosa Nursery soon. The owner is also very nice and cool to talk to. He will share you different ways to care for your plant. read more

Price is very competitive. I've checked in several nurseries (local retail business, online business, as well as some backyard nurseries) and I chose this place as they gave me good quotes on the plants that I wanted to buy. The old skinny man helped me pick out the best available pots, he explained how to choose a good plant that would grow better and yield more fruits, he also showed me how to prune, water and fertilize them. He was funny but sometimes I found it's hard to understand his jokes also, lol. If you're looking for fruit plants (especially tropical ones), you should come and check this place out, the nursery is huge, you can walk up and down the rows to get enough daily walking steps, lol. You can check out their website to see the price online first, go to the location to look at the plants, and start negotiate from there. Last visit I saw they had jujube (Li, Honey Jar, Sugar Cane), avocado (Lamb Hass, Hass...), guava (Taiwanese, Thai seedless...), Thai green jujube, sapodilla (Alano, Silas Wood - some already had flowers in 15 gal pots), green wax jambu, rose apple, yellow dragon fruit, stone fruit trees,... a lots of flowering plants as well (wisteria, peony, peach, almond blossom,...) read more

This Mimosa location is the best! Chú Thu was the most amazing part. He was incredibly kind, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable when helping me pick out fruit trees for my garden. On top of the excellent customer service, they had a great selection of tropical/Asian fruits and plants that I haven't been able to find at other local nurseries. Prices were also really affordable. I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer here- can't wait to come back for more trees and plants to fill up my garden Thank you so much for everything, Chú Thu! read more

Went to this nursery and received great customer service and a very good price. Left a happy customer and will be back

I love this place. I go with my uncle here to purchase plants when he's looking to expand his garden. Beautiful and wide selection of plants. We only like to deal with Newman whenever we come here because he's very knowledgable about plants, and he's not pushy about buying anything. He's a friendly and warm person, and my uncle told me if Newman's not there then we won't buy anything. Thanks again for the great selection of plants and the A+ wonderful customer service!! read more

These guys are helpful and have a lot of exotic type of fruit trees. Not a huge number of trees, but a lot of variety of different types of tree. read more
