    We went on a nursery tour today and this was stop #2. We loved the selections of the different types of yucca plants here. The ones they had at the entrance were very nice and about $150which is a reasonable price for the size. We ended up finding a dwarf olive tree which was $20 cheaper than what we had found in San Jose. So that was exciting. They have lot of different kinds of trees and shrubs. While there, the employee told us that they would be getting more flowers in the next couple of weeks and because of the storms they have been a bit delayed in blooming and being ready for sale. I would be interested to return to see what kinds of flowers they bring in. They did have rose bushes and rose trees which ranged from $80- $110.

    This nursery is located very conveniently right next to the 680 freeway in Sunol. There are two nurseries located almost next to each other this is the second one that is further back on Calaveras Road. This nursery has better prices than the other one closer to the freeway on Calaveras and it has a very large selection of local trees. They also provide discounts if you buy a larger quantity of plants of the same size.

    This is a really nice, large nursery. Many of the plants were very well labeled with detail care instructions, but there were also large sections that were not labeled at all. However, just ask someone and they are very nice to answer your questions. Minus 1 star for sparse succulents section and indoor plant section. This is a great place if you need a lot of plants because they have bulk discounts.

    Bonsai that Dylan worked on! He's amazing.

    I wanted to buy my first bonsai tree and the Bonsai club recommended I check out Calaveras Nursery, where they said most of their members go. It wasn't because of Cobra Kai that I wanted a bonsai tree;), but I do wonder if there will be an uptick of desire for bonsai trees because of that show! The club recommended I start out by getting a bushy and full juniper with a really interesting trunk. The members usually get a junket with a twisted trunk or a fat trunk and the more footage is good as it indicates vigor. When I called the nursery to make sure they had junipers in stock, Dylan answered and was very kind answering all my questions. I came today to the nursery and Dylan was amazing! He showed me many different junipers they have and even helped me choose one bonsai that had a thick trunk. He also showed me the bonsai that he worked on and they were incredible! You can even buy the ones that he has worked on and I've added those photos here. Just looking at the ones he worked on made me smile! I would definitely recommend checking out this nursery if you're looking to get started with bonsais.

    Extremely positive experience, owners were super helpful and friendly. We purchased the most beautiful pistache tree to replace a huge shade tree or neighbors removed leaving our home full sun all day! The 24inch box was perfect for us very very well priced and they helped us load it onto the Home Depot flatbed I rented. I will definitely be going back. After hours and day and weeks of research online for the best full sun trees to grow in our area I went to this nursery and they carried every single one! They know what grows well in our area vs carrying items that are tempting and gorgeous and then die in the heat. Can't say enough if you need really large trees this is the place

    This is a fantastic nursery. It's located in the middle of nowhere, and pretty easy to get lost - so be sure to download directions from their website. This is the place you see while driving 680 through the sunol grade. We made the hike here, as their prices are WAY better than our local nurseries. They're not set up as a pretty little garden shop, they're more like the Costco of plants and trees. They have a large, almost overwhelming variety to look at. This is the place to go and get a mature japanese maple (about 5 varieties), or some border shrubs that you need to buy a bunch of. They supply many of our local nurseries - so here you're really getting straight to the source. The staff is friendly, patient and helpful. I say patient, because I was completely overwhelmed. I went in thinking I knew what I wanted... and then as the options unfolded I was crippled by all the options. I was dazzled by the flowering magnolias... (see my photo). Borrow a truck, make the trip - but set aside enough time to meander the place and really see all of your options!

    We absolutely love shopping at the Plant and Pottery Outlet. Throughout the many years we have…read moreshopped there, we've always been pleased with our purchases. This WONDERFUL place has a HUGE assortment of pottery in so many colors, shapes, and sizes. I gotta add that our yards are beautiful thanks to being able to shop there. We get so many compliments from our neighbors and friends about the matching colors and sizes of the planted pottery in our backyard and front yard. I highly recommend you go and look around at the Plant and Pottery Outlet! You won't be disappointed, even my Honeyman enjoys going there, seriously. Also, we are older seniors, so we appreciate them loading our purchases in our SUV. And, when we buy HUGE pieces of pottery, we ask them about a delivery man that delivers. The guy delivery guy doesn't work for them, but they call him if you ask; and he's delivered to our home for a fee about four times through the years, which was well worth his price. And yes we tip him! Again, we love Plant and Pottery Outlet at 6467 Mission Road, Fremont CA. Thanks for reading and happy shopping!

The prices are reasonable, and you won't feel guilty picking up a few more than you planned. Love how well they maintain everything. I'll definitely be coming back for more.
