Highly recommend if you're willing to invest a little more for healthy, productive plants!

The nursery also sells many fertilizers for competitive costs around here like fish bone meal and chicken manure compost to go with many fruit and flowering trees.

For the first time ever, I finally got to see a Bat Flower in person. These are nearly impossible…read moreto find at nurseries. Last summer I was searching for a bat flower & one nursery I called, claimed "no one carries them in Southern California because they can't grow here" ... which is laughable considering a lot of stuff isn't native here but still grows ! Anyways yes there was ONE bat flower plant left. It was quite pricey too around $110. I didn't buy since I have my own plant now (which hasn't flowered yet). I was a bit disappointed when I asked for help. I have been looking for an Egg Magnolia (Magnolia liliifera) which are very hard to find ! When asking the employee, she asked a colleague with her hand held radio. She tried a few times, but no response. She then showed me the very small selection of Magnolias they have - which wasn't much at all. I honestly didn't think she knew what an Egg Magnolia is. Really if you work at a nursery you should know more about plants, because from my interaction I could tell it was her first time hearing about this specific plant. If you're looking for rare plants, you may find what you're looking for. The inventory is quite vast & overwhelming. I suppose for an average person not looking for anything specific, this place would be lovely. I purchased an agave celsii nova for my front yard & a white rhino agave - 6" pot for around $80 which is a steal ! I have not seen them that low anywhere.

When we arrived, we realized we went to the wrong location (our first visit to Mimosa Nursery was somewhere else apparently!) But we still found what we needed. It was a little hard to find at first, so when you arrive, you might not really see the entrance, so I'll attach photos of what to look for. We were the only ones there, got help when we needed it, and found what we were looking for. It's self-guided; no one greeted us or spoke to us until we needed someone to talk to. The people we were speaking with were knowledgeable about their plants and helpful in packing it so dirt wouldn't fall out. Super easy for us to get in & get out, and I'm sure we'll be coming back again for more!

The original owners are now long gone, but Mike has continued running the business in the same style and fashion as the original owners. Mike is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The company doesn't need to advertise; his customers' good words does that. If Mike doesn't have what you need, he can get it for you or send you to another nursery. The nursery is not a retail establishment; however, if you are planning to redo your yard and need a lot of plants, you can send your landscaper to Sakaida and Mike will work with him, or you. Or if you want a couple of big trees. If you want just a few plants, go to San Gabriel Nursery; they are a great outfit. Sure, you can get plants cheaper at Home Depot, but their sales people aren't nurserymen and they really don't know anything about plants, soils, fertilizer, growing seasons, watering, etc. If you want to buy a tree, Mike is going to ask "Where are you going to plant it?" I was going to buy a couple of large mulberry trees and plant them in the front yard and he warned: "Don't plant it near the driveway or sidewalk...as it gets older, it is going to raise them!" Mike saved me from a disaster. You won't get this kind of advice at Home Depot.

When they were checking out the paint the employee named Carlo spilled it all over the table and became very frustrated since he spilled it over his jeans. From then he decided to ignore me and asked another employee named Christine to take over. They decided to remix the original paint to the correct color, but when I asked Christine whether they would refill the can since a lot of it was spilled by Carlo, she gave me really bad attitude and did not want to promise me that they would refill the paint they spilled.
