    Golden raspberries
    Mia ..

    I love this place! Staff is very friendly. This is the second time I've visited. Keaton greeted us and helped us find what we were looking for. Their selection was great and it was fun checking out all the different varieties. Today we picked up: boysenberry, golden raspberry, a golden delicious apple tree, a pineapple guava and some blueberries. Staff was very friendly and we'll be back!

    If I could give Mike Vogel, owner of Menlo Growers, 0 stars I would. This is the second time he has delivered a large citrus tree to my home that is unhealthy and should never have been sold. The first 45 gallon Owari Shiranui Mandarin (Sumo Citrus) was diseased and he subsequently threw out all of his 25 and 45 gallon inventory. The second (25 gallon) Gold Nugget Mandarin was infested with mealybugs and had fruit from last season to make it look more attractive in pictures. The GN tree cannot stand on its own, appears to be plucked from a farm & rooted, is infested with mealybugs, and has dropped all leaves and fruit. Instead of taking responsibility and replacing or refunding, he blames me stating I'm not watering enough. Meanwhile, all of my fruit trees from other nurseries are thriving. Buyers beware of a horrible experience working with Mike Vogel.

    I had to purchase a dwarf lemon tree for a client and I spoke with Mike. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The tree was very reasonably priced and he was also going to deliver it to our client who lives 5/6 hours away from me and the delivery charge was extremely reasonable too. However, I couldn't get the ball rolling so I had to pick the plant up myself and he immediately refunded me the delivery charge. I also had a pleasant conversation with Mike about food and restaurants and he was very pleasant. I had to message him a few times and he was always responsive. Menlo growers seems to be a very successful business and although I only bought one little plant from Mike, he was extremely professional and answered all my questions, sent me pictures of the plant I purchased. One of the best ever customer service experiences. Also, the client loved the tree, and it survived UPS ground shipping!

    Highly recommend this establishment!!! Usually don't bother with reviews, because I either buy or don't, based on what I see with my own eyes. However, as I searched high and low for a pink grapefruit tree...shoot anywhere in America, at this point! None could be found, unless I was willing to pay WAY TOO much. As my search continued, I finally came across MENLO GROWERS...Lucky break!! First of all, their price was several hundred less than others had quoted me at...no joke! That's because this is the hub for California, as it turned...apparently Southern Cal has been on quarantine. And, if you've ever tried to purchase on line from other states, so many of the growers "won't ship to California..." So yeah, it was a battle...but like I said, got real lucky being persistent and finding MENLO GROWERS - Score!! Honestly was so impressed with this lovely place in Gilroy. Everything I saw was pretty pristine and obviously well cared for! I could have stayed all day, just combing over row after row and lovely vegetation...some younger trees, and some more mature trees with vibrant fruit- a garden lover's paradise!! I took the drive from SLO and so glad I did. I found both Mike and Kate to be very knowledgable and helpful, and professional. Kate is gregarious and hard working; she is the person I came in physical contact with...very "on it!" Furthermore, the tree I purchased is so beautiful and healthy!! I put her in the best spot in my garden and looking forward to watching her grow and to the time I can eat that first pink grapefruit :0) Want to thank both Mike and Kate for their efforts...Kate, thank you for picking out a perfectly adorable pink grapefruit tree for me...she's a beaut!! And, believe me, I have already talked this place up to everyone I know who is serious about their gardening!! You won't regret checking out the place; it's on a pretty country road, surrounded by gated farm houses and so forth. I will DEFINITELY BE BACK!!

    25 gallon fruit trees for my backyard orchard!

    Bought a variety of citrus and deciduous fruit trees for a major backyard landscaping project and fill out my mini orchard. Wow was I delighted by the size and quality of the trees when they arrived! Mike and Kate are both super knowledgeable about the huge variety of trees that they have and we're very helpful over the phone!

    We have been buying trees at Menlo Growers for a few years. As always the experience was great. Kate is knowledge and resourceful.

    Horrible place. Very rude lady running the show. Save yourself from wasting your time and go to a better nursery.

The tree removal work covered 2 days which was more than enough time to cover any issues that may have come up but didn't. Communication was efficient and expedient. If clarity was needed by phone Alexis was always available during business hours when at the store. My 4 trees removal was quoted to take 2 whole days but was completed early. Alexis and his work crew were fantastic all the way through. They arrived as scheduled and earlier than on time each day. The crew showed exceptional teamwork and were very easy to communicate with. They were respectful of the property and left the yard looking better in the areas they worked than when they first started. I will definitely seek out Alexis and his work crew again when I have future tree care and landscaping needs.

He even had us hop in his gator and drove us around the nursery showing us different options and explaining the pros and cons of each. We ended up finding the perfect shrub for our yard. Damien was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. Highly recommend asking for Damien if you visit!
