Very disappointed to walk in and the first thing you see is tropical milkweed. Reading through other reviews it’s clear that this has been brought up before and continues to be ignored by the owners. Tropical milkweed is a category 2 invasive species. It causes monarchs to linger longer than normal which disrupts their migration and allows the build up of the OE parasite which will weaken/kill the butterfly’s. I didn’t stay to look around but if they’re willing to carry this harmful plant without warning customers about its dangers, I’m positive they have other plants there that are just as harmful to your gardens ecosystem. A local nursery in our neighborhood should be aware of the threats certain plants present and they should CARE! I doubt they’ll stop carrying it until it becomes a category 1 invasive species which I hope will happen soon. To anyone reading this: pink swamp milkweed, white swamp milkweed and butterfly milkweed are all great examples of safe plants to have in your garden and the good news is that there are nurseries in our area that care enough to have these plants available. Hope this helps someone change their mind about buying tropical milkweed and I really hope the owners of this nursery do better in the future or are at least honest with their customers about the harmfulness of some the plants they sell. Proper education is very important and if willow tree chooses to do more research on the plants they sell and eliminate ones that are known and proven to be harmful, I will happily return as a paying customer and recommend them to others. Until then, it’s a no from me.

For the past 12 years this has been my favorite place to get herbs. Today, I was very happy because I needed to find some tarragon and nobody else has tarragon ever. I always check there first whenever I need anything, and 9 out of 10 times they have it.

We purchased 11 15 gal. Robellinis for our building in our condo association. They are stunningly beautiful and healthy! Willow Tree Nursery and Evan really delivered, figuratively and literally! Our condo is the pearl in the oyster of the association! Definately recommend and will purchase more plants! Willow Tree is a beautiful place to stroll. They have a wide variety of plants and trees. The staff goes out of their way to assist! Thank you!

Far superior to the big box stores. The prices are about the same but Willow Tree has more variety plants + shrubs and trees . They are also plant experts . They can answer questions with authority.
