    Update: Jan 8, 2019- company did call me, refunded all costs and also shipped me the plants with…read morean apology for the problems. Brittany explained that there was some internal problem where it showed my plants had previously shipped, when they had not. I think Sow Exotic is aware of the problem and will get things resolved. The plants that shipped were healthy, strong and packed with the utmost care ---as they always have done. In fact one box was crushed by the post office and the post office put a sticker on it alerting me that they had crushed it, and the plant was still in great shape! I still have a tree that is huge from an order in 2015-16. It is fruiting daily and everyone loves it. This has been my go to shop for Tropicals...especially food plants. Past resolved concern: I have been with this company since 2015-16--they were with EtsyPast orders have been filled quickly. I placed an order in July 2019, they partially filled it. I've been waiting for 2 plants (Sapodilla & Yellow Dragon), my emails & phone calls are usually ignored. Occasionally I get a response that it's mailing out next week. I called and emailed the first week of Oct, they told me, 'next week'. In November, after several emails & a phone call, (because I understand things happen that are unexpected). They replied that an office worker had cut through their cable line, so the order would ship out next week. Still nothing. Something is going on with this company...please save your money and don't place any orders. This has been about 6 months of me patiently calling and emailing. There are a surprising number of tropical plant nurseries, if you just look. Logees has been used for decades in my plant club (gesnariads). They have potted tropical plants that can be brought indoors. TopTropicals is a Florida based nursery with everything, including great communication. You can also get great information through California Rare Fruit Growers...look them up on the Internet. This is really unfortunate.

    I ordered three different orders. A panadal, dwarf red lady papaya tree, and a Bearss lemon tree. I…read moretried initially to go pick up the first two twice. No one was at the nursery. I reached out to them to cancel the order. They responded and apologized saying that there had been a family emergency and wanted make it right with a gift card and to ship at their expense the first two. Okay, fine, I thought. Family emergencies happen. I used the gift card and ordered a lemon tree. I emailed back and emailed again that I understood and had placed an order. To save them costs, I would just come pick the orders all up in a week or two when they're supposed to be open. Unfortunately, here I sit in front of the gate...no one is here, it's closed, they're not answering the phone, and they don't reply to 99% of emails it seems. Sadly, I have to cancel the orders and just start over with another nursery.
