Helpful workers

Helpful workers, nice selection of oak trees I was looking for. I’m assuming the owner helped me out with a 2 person job loading a tree. He also gave valuable advice on how to get the best results and keep the tree alive over the next 1-2 years.

Lots of variety

Very comprehensive nursery! Get ready to walk because there’s lots or Acreage! That’s a good thing, cause there’s lots of variety!

Best for trees

Dabneys is the best nursery in town. Always have the biggest healthiest plants at the best prices. Worth the drive - ESPECIALLY if you’re buying trees!

Native plants

I have tried other nurseries in and around Memphis and I just keep coming back to Dabney. The plants are high quality and reasonably priced, there is a good selection, and when I asked about native plants they didn’t look at me like I had three heads. The trek out there from midtown is well worth the trip.
