Comments regarding Jung Seed

I have been dealing with Jung's for over 10 years. I find they are an excellent company and their prices are better than anywhere else I've tried. I usually travel to Randolph to get the bare root stock, I think you get bigger trees and bushes than by mail. I've recommended them to many of my friends, and we've all had good results. If a plant doesn't make it, (you have to expect that once in awhile) they replace it readily.

I ordered a dwarf Korean Lilac from them this spring. For the price I paid, I was surprised at the size of the plant (larger then expected.) It is doing well.

I've had great success with Jung's plants! I just placed another order. And being only 16(With a very limited budget!!), their prices really help me buy what I'd like to buy! And the shipping prices are lower than any other catalog I've ordered from. I love them!

I've ordered from many different seed catalogs for just under 30 years. My overall experience has been favorable. I would rate Jung #1. As I type this my 1998 order to Jung is on my desk ready to be mailed tomorrow.

I live in Minnesota & have ordered from Jung's for the past few years (Hostas, daylilies and bleeding heart). I have had excellent experiences with this company- great service and value. One of my three bleeding hearts didn't come up the following spring and it was promptly replaced, no hassles.

I've placed an order every year for the past 5-6 years. Each year, also place an order with a new catalog. I've NEVER been as satisfied with ANY other company.

I ordered from this catalog in the spring of this year. Almost everything (which was quite a lot) has survived. The best was the David Austin Roses. They have grown beautifully!! I did not get the high bush cranberry bushes and when I called to inquire, they quickly sent replacements. No complaints here and I will buy from them again.

Ordered for spring of 96. Mostly seeds, one rose. 'Seafoam' Rose turned out to be wholesaled by Jackson & Perkins Actually made the trip from California to Wisconsin to Oklahoma. Had a few pale, sun-starved sprouts. However, it quickly recovered and was one of my best rose plants by mid-summer. Price was also lower than J & P's retail catalog. Plan on ordering again.

I have ordered from them each year for about 15 years. They are most helpful on the phone and the quality of the seeds and plants are most satisfactory.

I read some of the comments on the nursery. I've had nothing but good dealings with them. All of the bare root plants were in gook condition, although at the time they were shipped, we had nothing but downpours. I kept them in a little compost in a green house type container. This forced them out of their dormant stage. When I was able to put them into the ground, they already had a few leaves. All are doing well and should double in size this year. I am ordering from them again this summer for August and September plantings. I was particularly satisfied with their Hosta offerings and varieties.

I have had very good results in ordering from this company. I have traveled to their retail outlet in Wisconsin and have visited their test gardens as well. I have ordered from them by mail as well and was always pleased with their products, both seed and live plant. I like the hardiness factor of their line.

I have had good luck in this area (SW WI) with Jung's seeds. I am close enough so that I can travel to the Madison location and pick up bare root and nursery stock, so I don't know how they do mailing. I think that their merchandise is best suited for this area; when I lived in California, I had poor luck.

I live in the Minneapolis area and my family has ordered materials from this company for over 30 years. Hardiness is a special concern in Minnesota. Jung's is a pretty conservative company that doesn't introduce new developments as some of the other nurseries to our immediate south. The stock they send me has always been very good for me. The small bushes, fruiting trees, and whip trees have been larger and of excellent quality. My father and grandfather who came from North Dakota were quite conservative in ordering out of seed catalogues that had great pictures and new introductions. Over the years as I have ordered introductions from other nurseries who stock items not stocked by Jung's, I appreciate the wisdom of my father and grandfather who knew what would grow in Minnesota and what would not. I have fond memories of Jung's bare root stock on my step in the spring.

I have been ordering from Jung's for over ten years. I have ordered both seeds and fruit trees. I have not had any problems with the trees nor seeds. Fruit trees were better than from other companies.

This company should be on the five worst list. I got their catalog unsolicited and ordered because the prices were low - BIG MISTAKE. Many plants didn't even make it alive to my house - their stems were damaged due to poor packing. They did replace them, but even these plants took three years to develop to the same size as good plants take one. BUYER BEWARE!
