I have been buying fruit trees for years and unfortunately spent much of my money on the small and young fruit trees. No More!!! I found this nursery after my friend Albert used them for his home. Large mature fruit trees are around $ 200. Similar trees in LA area are $ 450 a pop. So it makes more sense to drive to this nursery and buy a bunch and at the same time save a bunch. Peter is a great guy and has every tree on the lot.

I had a great experience here, very helpful staff, huge selection, and the best prices by FAR compared to the other local places.

Although they have a great selection, I only bought trees there because they said they would replace them if the trees died. Well 1 tree died within 2 months, The avocado and Mango tree just died now (after about 5 months). Two gardeners have come (regular service and to get a second opinion) and both have confirmed I’ve done everything correctly… but both said, Palm Springs is not a recommended area for growing both Avocado and Mango… despite, when i bought it, JNJ assured me that Palm Springs area weather would be perfect for both trees. Now that I called them to get the trees replaced, they refused to replace it and said they would only do it if the plants died within the 30 days. I explained this is not what he told me when i bought the plants… but he would not budge. Not expecting a refund but their business ethics are questionable… I would not recommend them… rather pay more $ and get the warranty in writing not on word! Lesson learned…

I purchased 6 hedges 15 gal at amazing price compared to two other nurseries in Riverside. Their selection of roses are awesome and price is ½ what other places are selling for. Friendly and helpful customer service… very worth the drive, and I will be getting all my roses, trees, and hedges from this place.

After doing a google search for fruit trees I came across this nursery. I drove over, parked my f550 out front in plane view and walked the entire property for 20 min. without seeing a single person.
I called the number listed and told the person on the phone I was standing in the nursery. He came out of the house which was about 50 ft from where I made the call and he acted like I was not supposed to be there. It was about 12:30 and even though the gate was open and there where no closed sings the place looked deserted.
I am a landscape contractor and like to get my materials and get on my way. That didn’t happen here. There prices where high and plants where just ok.

I found this Nursery on Craigslist in March 2013 and bought a cargo van full of roses, succulents, herbs, other plants and soil. Peter, the owner, is a Cal Poly Horticulture graduate and he knows plants. He talked me into a white rose bush that I did not want to buy and now I am in love with this spectacular rose!

So last month I wanted to pull out some terrible roses from Costco and replace them with the same white rose bushes Peter had talked me into before. I checked Unilocal and a couple other sites that listed JNJ and they all said the nursery saw open on Sunday. (If you check this page you will find ‘Open Sunday’) A friend of mine and I got in the van and drove 40 minutes to the nursery. When we arrived the gate was closed and after 10 minutes of waiting around at the front gate I finally got a worker’s attention. He went in the front ‘house’ and a minute later a woman opened the front door a yelled ‘closed’. I told her we had drive 40 minutes and she once again yelled ‘closed’, nothing else. We drove back home and I needed to give myself several weeks to calm down and be able to write this review.
I would like to use this nursery in the future, but I am not sure I will return.
Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
Healthy mature plants
Good selection and varieties
Peter is great, knows plants, and is willing to share his knowledge and love of plants.
Prices are excellent
Cons
The entry to the nursery looks like a dump sight. Large pieces of shelving and junk is everywhere along the street. Inside the gate there is more junk, unkept grounds, and trash. This area in front of the house/​office should be welcoming and well kept with a varied selection of ‘the best of the nursery’
The gate and fencing is about to fall over and looks very unprofessional.
The staff are simply workers, so if Peter is not available or with other customers you are pretty well screwed to get service or have a question answered.
I am not sure who the woman that yelled ‘closed’ was, but she should not be allowed within a mile of the nursery. She is a very negative representative for JNJ.
Website listings do not have the correct hours of business and JNJ seems to do nothing to update the information. CALL FIRST!

Not a good experience for us at all. Not a single person around to help. It sort of looks like a dump that has seen better days. We spent quite a while there trying to find what we were looking for. Once we found it ourselves, no prices listed anywhere on pot or tag and the condition of the plants didn’t look any better than what we’ve seen elsewhere. Didn’t seem like it was worth waiting around any longer to hear what the prices might be. And it’s not like the place was swarming with customers so that they were too busy to help us, which would have been sort of understandable. Really not sure how this place got such good reviews here on Unilocal.I originally saw their ad up on Craig’s list for privacy hedges and then checked to see if they were for real here on Unilocal.Let me tell you, nothing at this place looked as good as the pictures they posted to Craig’s list.
Good to see they are reading their reviews, but I assure you I was at the correct location not the closed actual dump down the street. It still left me feeling underwhelmed and nothing like the previous reviews or photos.

Recently we visited this nursery and we were shocked!!! We came with the intention of getting one fruit tree and left with 2 beautiful fruit trees along with the desire to buy more!
They have thousands of trees and nearly a dozen variety of each fruit category — all beautiful and healthy trees!
Thank you Peter for the great service and knowledge!

After buying my house about a year ago, it became quite obvious that both the front and back yard needed to be re-​landscaped. About 7 weeks ago I started on the front yard. Everything was being removed and redone — hardscape, sprinkler system, every tree, bush, flower, and inch of grass. Long before this time i had been researching what type of style and subsequent plants I wanted to go with. I received lots of recommendations from local landscapers about which nursery to buy from — which I checked out — and even looked at the local orange big box retailer down the street. Then I found J and J — known as
online. Not only did they have everything that I needed, but they were super responsive, helpful, and a fraction of the cost of the «other» guys. Plus they delivered 82 plants ranging from 24-​inch boxed trees to rose bushes and shrubs in less than 24 hours with a very fair delivery rate (especially since they traveled probably 45 miles to get to me). I look forward to working with them again for my backyard and I plan on recommending them to everyone I know. J & J does it right. Thanks for the help y’all!

Wanting to buy some fruit trees for my yard, I headed over to this nursery to check out their selection. The place was much better, much bigger, and much cheaper than I expected it to be. They have a massive fruit tree selection. Concerning just peaches, I had about ten varieties to choose from. Due to my somewhat indecisive nature the owner sat down with me to guide me through some choices that would do well in my yard. He gave me tips about chill hours, fertilizer, and the taste of the fruit. Because I don’t have a truck, they even offered to deliver the items to my house for a small fee. I received much more personalized help then I would have at a Home Depot or a Lowes nursery, which I am grateful for.
I’m very much looking forward to vegetable season so I can head back to this nursery and pick up some plants for my garden. On a last note, they actually do take credit cards now which makes things a bit more convenient. Overall, being here made for a fun and informative Saturday.

I love this place and their service! I have been to other nurseries and have had to hunt down someone to help me. Not here! Someone in a golf cart, drove right up to my car asked what I was looking for and drove me around and educated me on what they had. After I bought everything, they loaded up my truck and even laid plastic down so nothing got dirty. I am so pleased with their service, they have me for life. I have a lot of plants and trees to buy and I will go no where else! The only down fall is they only take cash. Other than that this place is my favorite!!:)

In the spring, we purchased three 5 gallon fruit trees from this place: apricot, peach & fig. They all are doing well and have grown several inches sine them. Good buys so far.

This place is awesome & so is the owner, Peter. Nice guy that’s willing to help with any questions that you may have. He’ll let you know which plants/​trees will work for whichever type of climate you have. All of the plants here are acclimated & will take to transplantation easily once you get them home. I’ve never had anything die on me that I’ve purchased from J&J, & I have bought a lot from them. I have purchased everything from flats of flowers & ground cover, gallon bushes & fruit trees. The prices here are fantastic & cannot be beaten. I do believe that if you’re in a pinch with transportation of your purchases, they do offer delivery within a certain purchase amount & city limit. They accept cash, checks, & credit and are open 7 days a week until sundown.
Suggestions: If you’re in the area, take a look around. If you’re in need of a large amount of foliage & greenery but are on a tight budget, this is the place to go.

We ended up going here because they were the only nursery in the area that had the tree that we wanted. We talked to Peter who was not only very helpful but far more knowledgeable than at some of the other nurseries. We ended up getting a beautiful Palo Verde that was not only very reasonable priced but was huge compared to what other nurseries were offering in a 15 gallon pot. Even nicer was the fact that they did not have the tree there but at one of their «growing» fields that was close to our home so they delivered the tree to our house at no extra charge. They really go the extra mile for their customers. We will most definately make them our first stop from ow on for all of our plant needs.

Peter and the rest of the staff were great. Stopped by after finding them on craigslist. We found there was a good selection of plants and great prices! We will definitely be returning.

Being that I love plants and can’t resist a bargain, this place is a perfect fit. Why pay retail when you can get landscape quality plants for less than 50% of what you would pay at any retail nursery, including the big box stores. So what’s the catch? It’s a wholesale nursery, they don’t stock everything and the inventory is not always nursery «pretty». I’ve been there 3 or 4 times and have loaded my poor Grand Cherokee to roof each time.

Saw this nursery’s ad on craigslist. Here was the ad:
«…WE HAVE A LARGE VARIETY OF CITRUS AND AVOCADO TREES COME TO SEE THEM TO OUR NURSERY THIS COME IN 5 GALLON FOR 25 $ AND IN 15 GALLON FOR $ 60 AND UP MANY MORE TO CHOOSE FROM CALL FOR MORE INFO. WE ARE THE SECOND NURSERY ON BEN NEVIS LOOK FOR THE COLORFUL FLAGS.»
Riverside is a LONG ways away from where I live, but I knew there are a bunch of interesting nurseries, and figured I could make a days adventure out of it. We stopped at J&J first, and didn’t have to go anywhere else. Their selection was amazing, Peter was incredibly friendly, and we got a walking tour of the citrus varieties they had available. He pulled lemons from trees and handed them to me when I asked questions about their qualities, and we walked back to his house where he cut them open and let me try them. He gave us samples of the limequats (beautiful tree.)
His prices were absolutely unbeatable. We drove off with a 10′ Hass Avocado Tree for $ 70, a Eureka Lemon with Calla Lillies sharing the pot for $ 50, and a Blood Orange tree for $ 50. All the trees are in much better condition and much larger than what I’ve seen anywhere else.
They were helpful and quick loading the trees into my small car. When I mentioned a tree they didn’t have, they said they could special order it on short notice. I’ll be returning soon.
