I ordered some Ice Lettuce for a summer crop, but it was an absolute failure. I started them indoors under ideal conditions, but the seeds did not germinate. I emailed Pinetree, expecting a refund o... See more

While I love supporting local/regional companies, and Pine Tree is super friendly and efficient, I am disappointed this year with the poor germination of many of the seeds. I am a very seasoned garden... See more

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I like the selection and the prices are reasonable. Plus germination rates are better than some of the packaged seeds in stores. We have vegetables growing year round. We save seeds and buy loose seed... See more

Hi Lilliane - I'm sorry to hear that a large amount of your seed packets did not germinate. We wanted to reach out to you to let you know we guarantee the germination of all our seeds. If they fail we can send replacement packets, or issue a credit or refund. Please contact us at help@superseeds.com - we'd be happy to take care of this for you. Thanks for the feedback!!

Long-time customer

I have ordered most of my seeds from Pinetree for several years due to their wide selection, honest plant descriptions and economical pricing. Have never had anything missing from any of my large orders, which I can't say about any other garden supply company!

My favorite company for buying seeds

My favorite company for buying seeds. Great variety and performance of the seeds, low cost, fast service, and very friendly and helpful staff if one orders by phone or has a question. I came to Pinetree through the enthusiastic recommendation of an online master gardeners group many years ago, and have often passed this on to others.

pinetree review

I stumbled across Pinetree before the internet. I have always thought you get a fair amount of seed for a fair price. What I like best was the many varieties they carry which prompted me to try new veggies and flowers. I look forward to the catalog every year. Never had a problem with any order.

I like that I can buy small amounts of seed at reasonable prices. I have been purchasing seeds from Pinetree for many years and will continue for many more. I also like the tools and supplies that are priced for those on a budget.

Great selections for the home gardener

Great selections for the home gardener. A new selection for 2017, Mariana's Peace Tomatoes are prolific, huge in size and delicious. The Diva cucumbers are prolific with the abundance enjoyed by my co-workers. I've always had very good results with your seeds. I am an suburban gardener with limited space but am able to produce enough vegetables to share with others.

I love this seed company

I love this seed company. I have never had a bad experience with any of the seeds I've ordered. They are great with phone questions and always concerned about pleasing me. It's like talking with an old friend. Order from them just once and you will always be pleased. Thank you Pinetree Seeds.

Without reservation

This is a solid company and I will buy from them again without reservation. One kind of seed had to be back-ordered but they let me know and it arrived in due time. Their catalog is excellent and a great way to dream in late winter.

It would be great for someone who knows computer science to develop an app that shows what plants may look like at various stages, within the space you describe, so you can plant accordingly. For example, should the bush beans be behind/north of the tomatoes or will they be shaded when mature?

So glad I found this company

I am so happy with the seed that I purchase from Pinetree. I am a Master Gardener in coastal Northern California, and I teach, answer lots of questions, and have one acre of food and flowers to tend. I like lots of vegetables, and riots of flowers in my yard.
I happy with the prices, selection and customer service. You know what? The packs can have smaller numbers of seeds than some of the other companies, but I realize that if I want more carrots, I buy two packs. One pack of 20 tomato seeds (or certain flowers, other vegs, etc.) are usually good for me.
Seed quality and germination are top notch. I heat (sterilize) small batches of potting soil in the oven, use bottom heat in the greenhouse, and usually have great results from Pine Tree's seeds.
Good luck, and happy growing
