Re: Ty Ty nursery?

Re: Ty Ty nursery?
Not only here but just about everywhere LOL. If you look above here on that long blue bar - at far right, click on 'search' and type in Ty Ty & you'll find a bunch of stuff about them. Their ads are hilarious.

Re: Ty Ty nursery?
I've never bought from them either but it's impossible to take them seriously because of the "risque" pics- seems to be a stupid marketing move to try to sell landscape plants with sex...I just can't see the connection. Plus their prices aren't exactly "wonderful"

Re: Ty Ty nursery?
One of the members here, I believe it was Ron, actually went to the nursery. You need to read his account of what happened. I think you can view it under Texas Star and a Carolina King search.

Re: Ty Ty nursery?
Basically, all you need to know is that they use photo-shopped pictures in all their advertisements, rely on sex/glamor/status to sell their merchandise more than legitimate/truthful marketing. They also have prices that are higher than they should be, incorrect information in their listings and honestly, I really don't know if you'd actually receive correctly what you ordered from them. I would highly advise against ordering from this nursery if I were you.
That's my two copper Lincolns, anyway.

Re: Ty Ty nursery?
WOW! Really? This is crazy. I didn't know that DG would allow someone to delete complaints. I would have guessed that they would be a little more business and info fair than that. If a business could delete all of the complaints, then it seems as though DG isn't really a great place to go to find out the good OR bad on a business. Hmmm.. now I'm perplexed about DG. Shame on them too!

Here is some feedback I found from Amazon: Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: TyTy Nursery One of many threads discussing Tyty: Everyone's favorite nursery is posting tons of videos! I don't think I've ever seen any company with such an incredibly high percentage of negative feedback. I stumbled upon their joke of a site a while back while looking for information on the 'quince'. I saved their site as a source of entertainment. How they have made a single penny over the years is completely beyond me! You can't even email them!! |

Re: Ty Ty nursery?
Ty Ty has a wholesale side to their business as well and their ads in the trade magazines look nothing like their website. I was quite surprised when I checked out their site.

Re: Ty Ty nursery?
My family and I decided one weekend to drive a little over two hours to TyTy to visit the nursery. My thinking all the time put into the web page and all different items they have this would be a treat. I never was so disappointed in my life. I first started thinking this is just where their office is and they kept some of their plants here. There is no way this could be it. I think I counted maybe ten banana plants none of them appeared to be in that good of shape to be the middle of the summer. I did not know what they were selling because there were no pups the grounds were very poorly kept. There were a lot of potted plants that did not look very uuuummmmm nice. The hole nursery was maybe an acre. My visit lasted about five minutes and I have seen all I could see and was afraid to look any were else. I am no pro and have not visited many nursery's but after months of looking at the web site I was crushed. I could not think about nothing else on the two hour trip back but WTF just happened. I still wanted to say that their plants must come from other places until I read all the negative reviews.
