Was excited to get these plants

Was excited to get these plants. Seem to be doing great (<6 mo old plugs) where all my other berry plants have failed for unknown reasons. Was initially put off by the shipping issues but everything arrived in great shape. Hoping they're as productive as is stated.

Customer service responded rapidly with replacement for damage or declining plants. However, apparently my soil is not adaptable to their type of blackberry. I have had nearly 80% failure in my soil. This includes mulching and keeping the area free of weeds.

Customer service bar none.

My first order the plants were small and didn't like the travel. They replaced them free of charge and these ones are doing great. They stand by their commitment of customer service and are polite and easy to deal with.

Rags to Riches!

I ordered a single plant a few months ago and when we received the plant we read up on it and made sure to get our potting soil mixture just right for it. Planted it and watched it to fade, it was weird. I got an email from Doyle’s asking how my plant was growing and I was honest with them, not too good. I felt like I had wasted $20. The only reply I got back was, don’t worry, we’ll take care of that. In a matter of days I had a new seedling that looked absolutely beautiful and healthy! We got it in the dirt and it has really taken off growing like crazy! Moral of the story, don’t get upset if a seedling doesn’t make it, reach out to Doyle’s and be honest and I can guarantee you that they’ll make everything right! Now just waiting for that first beautiful ripe berry wallowing around in my mouth headin to my belly and crossing every taste bud on the way! Haha

Thanks, Doyle’s for helping me when I needed it! It really did mean a lot to me, blackberries are by far my favorite fruit and I can’t wait to sit right in the middle of that plant and eat my self sick as much as I want to until I have to wait for the next year to get here! Thank you!!!

Blackberries and Excited About Them

Buying these blackberries was a great experience. They are growing perfectly. The first one I bought was super slow to start but second one took off with flying colors.
