RCW is the best there is and I would never shop anywhere else. I took grass samples in and they even did a test to find out what was wrong. My grass is awesome now. Highly reccomended.

A little patience on the road to find a great Nursery would do you good. RCW is the best.

My recent trip to RCW was disappointing. Everyone was nice and all that, and the plants seemed in good enough shape, but everything was really expensive! $40 for a 3 gallon citrus? $2.50 for a 4" vegetable or herb? It was also really difficult to get out of the nursery with all the traffic backup from 249/beltway 8 interchange. I don't think I'll be back.

Thank you

I Googled the magazine and found it at www.hortmag.com. A years subscription is about $20.00...far cheaper than off the rack. Also you can check the local library. If they don't have it in...you can request they get it in for you or try your favorite book store. We no longer carry it, as it never sold well since our climate is so different from most of the country. We do, however, carry Texas Gardener. A great magazine which covers the whole state and lets you know how plants will do in our area.

Happy Gardening
Mary and the staff at RCW Nursery

Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of Horticulture magazine?
Thanks

We purchased a Nuttall Oak and and a Red Rocket Crepe Myrtle and had RCW deliver and plant them in early June. A week later, because of the blistering heat, the leaves began falling off. We called RCW to find out what we were doing wrong. Within an hour Patty was knocking on our door to check it out. She left us some chemicals and told us what we need to do. It seems to be working.
We have never had such service. All the employees we have talked to were very friendly and knowledgeable. Even though there location is not all that convenient, we will continue using and highly recommend them.

Heidi owns Treesearch Farms and Beverly owns Arbor Gate. They are two seperate businesses. They are in no way owned by one another.
Citrus can only come from inside Texas. The Texas citrus growers association will not allow citrus from other states to cross state lines. This protects the lively hoods of many farmers in Texas.

One of the best place to buy trees and roses. Employees are very nice and helpful.
Most of the citrus trees sold in this area do come from Brazos Citrus. They
do a real good job...much better than Treesearch Farms.All of the
Avacado trees sold in this area came out of Florida...even the ones sold by Brazos
Citrus and Treesearch.

The real experts would be Heidi and the Arbor Gate. They are owned and supplied by Treesearch Farms. RCW's citrus comes from Brazos Citrus Nursery. Most nurseries carry either Brazos citrus or Hines. Arbor Gate is cheaper too. Plants for all seasons carries the same avocado varieties for much less than Rcw.

RCW had nicer trees than Plants For All Seasons. Worth the money to go with the experts.

Thank you for your condolences. He will be missed by all who knew him.

So sorry to hear about Tom. He was such a good man.

We have more Kiowa blackberries coming in this week...we blew through our first crop in 3 days. We try to use only local growers and I have only found one that grows Kiowa. Our citrus are grafted on either trifoliate (for the standard varieties) or on a 'Flying Dragon' for the dwarf varieties. And, as always we appreciate your comments.

Enchanted Forest in Richmond has Kiowa blackberries. Not too close to RCW but still...

Correction:

Plants for All Seasons currently carries citrus on both trifoliate and sour orange rootstocks. The staff has been very happy to answer any questions about what varieties are grafted onto what rootstock.

I thought the Arbor Gate'!s fruit trees were pricey! Phew! RCW's citrus trees are at least $10 more expensive than the Arbor Gate, and they don't list whether or not they use trifoliate orange rootstocks. Everything I saw looked like it was from Brazos Citrus, which I think uses trifoliate, but you can't be sure unless it is labeled as such. They didn't have any Kiowa blackberries (but no one does right now). They did have a very large blueberry selection.

If your buying fruit trees and plants in the 249 area, you'll get more bang for your buck by driving up to Tomball and going to the Arbor Gate, or waiting for Mercer Arboretum's 'March Mart' plant sale. Plants for all Seaons is on 249 and Louetta, but as of this writing, none of their citrus is on trifoliate rootstock.
