Arbor Day FoundationReviews of arborday.org

Buyer beware: Bought a Chicago fig and sent to my granddaughter in Michigan as an house warming gift. Unfortunately, the tree didn’t make it through the winter. Of course It took till April to figure that out that the tree did not make it, however, since it was planted in October, the 6 month guarantee ran out before we know the tree died. I asked for the tree to be replaced, the response was no it’s out of it six months guarantee. I think that a tree that you pay $100 for should have at least a year guarantee with the purchase. Very disappointed.

I donated to Arbor Day Foundation. I'm disabled and low income earner. The deal was to donate and I would receive 5 flowering dogwood trees, 5 flowering Eastern Redbud trees, still don't get that cause I'm in the west. And as a bonus 2 free crapmyrtles along with the planting guide. I donated $50 dollars. Planted as per instructions. Three of the trees made it and still waiting for the crapmyrtles. As a forester, gardener, and lover of trees, I am sorely disappointed. Three out of 12 plants survived. I want my money back. Because I am unable to get this resolved I just won't ever donate again.

Ordered $200 worth of trees that either arrived dead or died days later

I filled out the tree survey and received 12 very small seedlings. They arrived safely and we planted them at the appropriate times 7 years ago. All of them did well. I have been happy so far until I realized that the 3 labeled as white flowering dogwoods are actually Bradford Pears! I would NEVER have planted Bradford Pears in my yard. They have been growing consistently but really took off in the last two years. One of them is about 15’ tall now. I was suspicious last year but they have the distinct foul smell this year. I went back and looked at the info the Arbor Day Foundation sent and absolutely everything said I would received 3 white flowering dogwoods. Nothing in their communication even mentions Bradford Pear. I even tried to search their website and they have nothing on the Bradford Pear. What a scam! Now we have to deal with removing them. We live on the SC coast. Bradford Pears are dangerous in Hurricane prone areas.

The trees I received were not red maple and not redbud but some unknown variety of trees.

Lol was about to waste my time and fill out the survey because why not i really wanted dogwood tree but 10 trees for 1 survey sounds too good. Decided to research and it seems like just bad reviews. Nope not doing it.

Received their mailing today for a "selected area survey" and at first glance at their survey package (which seems to be a very expensive package for a not-for-profit) it looked like you might get some free seedlings for you input. When I started to complete the survey, I realized they were after my....money of course. What a POS org. they wasted their money on me LOL.
