Did they close?!?!? We drove by on Saturday and they looked like they went out of business. All the exotic trees are gone and the rest of the trees have been left to die! Never had luck with them on the phone, but great in-person selection and service. Hate to see the abandoned trees die slowly due to lack of water. read more

Been calling for the last week or two and nobody ever answers. I wanted to check which specific tropical fruit tree varieties were available before driving over there. Read many comments on Reddit and other sites recommending this nursery yet on Yelp, there were many complaints of ordering online and never receiving their order or never there during business hours. Their prices look very reasonable online but from the Yelp reviews, I'm thinking that I dodged a bullet by not shopping here. read more

Please do not order online. He will Not send You the order or take your call. This is fraud !!!! Champa Nursery We've received your order. We'll let you know when your items have been shipped. Order No. 11649 Placed on Apr 21, 2025 Until now nothing has been shipped and they are not taking my call read more

I agree with the other reviewers about not placing online orders. I placed an order in 3/2024 for a Mother's Day gifts. Two Mother's days have come and gone and still have not heard from them about fulfilling their order. Their phone is not working either. This is not a legit business read more

Only buy from this nursery in person, they have a good selection. However, they do not bother to fulfill any online orders. They have not updated the site in over a year, and like many others, my order was not fulfilled and I had to do a charge back. read more

Great spot for anyone who has the rare tropical fruit tree bug! Champa is a good dude and his place is always full of stock in good shape

I ordered mango scions from these scammers almost a year ago and still no response to my emails or call backs. The first time I called, a man answered and told me they would be shipped the following Monday. NOPE, all they did was add me to the do not answer list and delivered NOTHING! Terrible service operated by scumbags read more

This is a scam. I placed my order and paid for the Annona scions two weeks ago, but I have not received any information about it. I have emailed and called them many times, but I have not received a response from them read more

Ordered the plant months ago. Did't hear anything. Sent an email in February, told it would ship after the rain. Wait until May, sent another email. Received an email from Jimmy today, May 6th. He says I should have the plant by Monday. We'll, it is May 17th and the plant didn't arrive. Lesson learned, money lost. Feeling scammed. Don't offer on line ordering if you don't intend to ship your product. read more

This place is terrible, I ordered some scions & never received them. Stopped responding to my messages.

As a newbie to gardening, I decided to check out different nurseries all over SGV and this definitely had all the unique fruits with plenty varieties to choose from. I cannot say on what the process it was to buy one though as I just wasn't ready to buy a fruit tree for more than $50. The owner was super nice and helped anyone that needed help. You could tell there other customers who trusted his opinion about the fruit trees. I loved there was small rooster roaming around. The entire place is outside, so it feels relatively safe in reference to covid times. The owner wore a mask. Parking was easy as there is parking surrounding the sides of the place. read more

Just like several other reviewers I placed an online order which they never fulfilled. I called countless times regarding my order but no one bothers to answer the phone. It's been 2 months since I ordered, they've charged my card but never delivered. read more

Something has happened to this nursery lately. I've gotten trees from them before very healthy. I recently purchased something on line and for several weeks have been calling no one ever answers. They still haven't shipped my product. I wouldn't trust them anymore. It's unfortunate because they offer hard to find trees but I wouldn't waste my money there anymore. read more

This place is unscrupulous. He sold me a $150 7 gallon miracle fruit that went through a frost. I was not told about the frost until AFTER I paid him. I objected and he told it would be fine and wouldn't let me return it. The damage was done and the root system was destroyed and within 30 days I was out a miracle plant and $150 read more

Champa Nursery has a wonderful selection of fruit trees that are reasonably priced. The fruit trees appear healthy and robust. The employees are welcoming and are quick to share their knowledge. There are a couple of chickens roaming the nursery grounds so be on the lookout for them. Plenty of parking available. read more

No nonsense. Healthy trees. Helpful staff. Less selection than stated on the website, but still a fun assortment of trees. They seem to stock a lot of a few species/varieties. We bought a Geffner Atemoya, Achacha, June Plum, and white sapote. Some have clearly labeled variety names but most do not. Prices were ok. read more

Yesterday they weren't open at all. Today I had my friend call in the morning to confirm that they'll be open til 5pm assuring this doesn't go to shit again. Here we are. The gates are closed again. Someone's car is here but the nursery isn't opened. No one's here and I wasted my time yet again. Ooohh and it seems the nursery itself blocked my number so I can't even call them anymore. This nursery doesn't deserve your time and money and business. Recommend you going to another nursery. Trash. read more

Champa Nursery - The owners car is outside but yet the nursery ain't open, been here since 4:15 pm and it's closed - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - El Monte, California

never received my tree they just take your money and never ship the tree. Bout the tree oct 13th

Purchased 25G Lychee Tree online, talked to the owner over the phone before going to the Nursery. He confirmed the availability and height being between 6 to 7 feet without the pot. When I arrived, there was 1 lychee plant, only 4 feet height. Gave me the option to cancel the order or take the smaller tree (planted in 25G pot). I drove for 2 hours to go there. At the end, I came back with the smaller tree and another Atamoya tree (which I didn't need). This is not correct. When someone buy tree online, you should reserve it for the customer / order number. read more

They don't bother to give you updates on your orders. Been two weeks already and still not sure what really happened to it! If you have multiple weeks of patience then this is for you! read more

I have place online order since July 2024 and never received anything, arrive to the place, owner not there, don't pick up phone calls, return emails. I will stop by at the place again if not resolve, I will report to BBB. read more

Placed an online order on 8/29 and no shipment status provided. They don't answer their phone nor reply to email.

Excellent value and selection. We bought Logan Trees ($45-100 depending on size), rose apple trees, and banana trees. Depending on the season they also have soursop and sapote. The prices are beyond reasonable and I am very happy to find a place with tropical fruit trees! The seller is also very nice. read more

This place is great. I would recommend it. Most fruit trees are air layered by themselves instead of importing it from wholesale place. Price is reasonable. Most fruit trees are fruited already. So you don't need to wait 3 years. read more

Very bad owner ... No good attitude to talk to the customer... Does not like comparing with Home Depot and Lowe's. Because his prices are a lot higher than those stores. 5 gal plants at those stores are selling about $39.99. Champa is selling 3 gal plants at $42.99. He was telling that those stores sell seeded plants. The owner doesn't like to bargain. Should not have this kind of shop. Never go to that place again. read more

Beautiful, healthy trees and huge variety of Asian and exotic tropical fruit trees. I wanted to buy their Hosui Asian Pear tree but I already have one. They don't have any persimmon or rambutan in stock. I got a hass avocado and I'll be back because I want longan, lychee, perhaps dragon fruit, tamarind, cherimoya... I want everything. read more

Champa Nursery - 2/10/2023 current prices - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - El Monte, California

I purchased 2 trees for $230 online and never received. I have emailed and called them for dozens of time but no update

I don't like how they don't post the prices here. They have selections of fruit trees you wouldn't find elsewhere, but very pricey. We purchased a small lychee tree for $95 and small long an tree for $85. read more

I love Home Depot, but their selection outside of core / mainstream product sucks. My wife and I were on the hunt for a tree, and Champa Nursery is a gem nursery with a great selection of trees, and we were happy to see they all looked extremely healthy as well. We purchased a Saturn Peach Tree. We love it and hope it does well in our yard :) Highly recommend at least checking them out. read more

Nice nursery. The people were knowledgeable and there were lots of different fruit trees. read more

Like Whole Foods, but don't like dropping whole paycheck? Then, grow your own! Nothing beats the taste of homegrown fruit & vegetables, picked at their maximum amount of sweetness, unless of course, you like them a bit unripe. Why not get the most nutritious, best quality produce to eat & save money at the same time! Champa Nursery sells tropical/sub-tropical & deciduous fruit trees, along with vegetables & flowers rounding out the selection. I bought a healthy 3 gal sapodilla (aka chico) tree here at a great price several years ago, so when I was in the hunt for another fruit tree, I came back to Champa to examine their stock. A small nursery, Champa nonetheless has plenty of merchandise for sale. Before entering, several weeping mulberries & mangoes greet customers. Mangoes are the main emphasis at Champa, with dozens of varieties ranging from the Indian mangoes to the uniquely named Florida mangoes. I believe their wholesaler is a popular Florida nursery. Lychees, java plums, longan, sugar apples & starfruit (carambola) are among the other fruit trees you can expect to find. For my visit, I wanted to check out their green sapotes & purple caimitos. The sole worker greeted me and helped me on my quest. He was a friendly Hispanic man whom I conversed with in my broken Spanish. He first showed me their caimitos, which were minute in availability & ugly in appearance. To my understanding caimitos are more tropical in nature and don't do well unprotected in our climate. Plus, Champa only had the green kind, whereas I'm interested in purple. So, no caimito for me. Next, he showed me their green sapotes. Champa had a sizeable number of green sapotes, from 3 gal to 7 gal. I found the best looking 3 gal to find, and I was ready to take my baby home. The worker wrote me a receipt, bagged my new tree for me & place it inside my truck, thanking me for patronizing the nursery. Service was good. The Hispanic gentleman was hospitable & quick to help me find what I wanted. The owner, Jimmy, even left some cuttings of a particular leafy green for me to take home. I communicated with him prior to my visit, asking if he had the aforementioned fruit trees & leafy green I was interested in. He replied he didn't have the leafy green for sale, but he'd gift me some cuttings to take home, which I'm very appreciative for. Parking is in a teeny tiny private lot, with street parking for the spill over. Champa Nursery should be your first stop for finding the more uncommon fruit trees to grow. Prices are competitive & quite reasonable, compared to other nurseries in LA & Orange County. I'm happy that I have all the fruit trees I want in my collection, but when the itch strikes & desire emerges to add yet another fruit tree to my urban homestead, I'm content to know Champa is there to quell my gardening hunger. Highly recommend! read more

I bought a longan tree from here. There are so many varieties that can't be bought at Lowe's or Home Depot. I'm from the Bay Area and the trees are 3x the price in comparison to So Cal. My longan tree is doing awesome. Wished I had room to fit another tree. Definitely be back when in So Cal. read more

Very nice experience at Champa Nursery. I only planned to buy small gallons (3 and 7) of Mango trees but ended up with two 15 gallons (Glenn and Valencia Pride) as they were decently priced. Customer service was great. Jimmy and others were helpful. They helped me load the trees carefully inside my sedan car. If you're looking for not overly expensive tropical fruit trees, look no more. You will not be disappointed. read more

I went to Champa nursery today and what an amazing place for tropical fruit trees! I purchased many different mango trees and they were priced very reasonable and super healthy! I live in Clovis,ca and I'm growing mangos and avocados it's tough but I seem to be doing good. This is my favorite nursery I wish it was in my town. read more

Champa Nursery has the best fruit trees in town. Their service is amazing, they are willing to answer all your questions, they are very friendly and knowledgeable about their fruit trees. They even helped put three, 15 gallon trees into my Prius. They have a huge selection of exotic fruit trees, and their trees are very nice looking and green. I will definitely come back for more, I would recommend this Nursery over others. read more
