I knew it, as soon as you said best nursery in Houston. They really are the best great prices on vegtables and a vast selection of fruit trees, and wonderful ornamental especially bonsai. I'm not much of a flower person but I take my mom here every spring because the deals are great and the plants are vigorous.

[tericacleveland]

OMG I love this place. How honorable that you featured this nursery. This is the ONLY nursery I've gone to in over 6 years. I grow every season, and the owner always suggest new things to grow.

[incutheta]

YAY! Houston! This place is only a few miles from me. AWESOME!

[edgar]

SAY WHAT! This is like 10-15 mins away from me. Didn't know you visit my neck of the woods, and I've been subscribed for quite some time. Gotta check it out sometime.

[kittyswish]

Thank you so much for this video! I would have never found such an incredible nursery without you! Just picked up a big cart full of their beautiful plants!

[아줌마하와이]

I can’t believe this video is 5 years old. I’ll be moving there soon. Hopefully it’s still there.

I love going to JRN Nursery! I got my longan and Barbados cherry trees there not even a year ago and my Logan is already fruiting. I could spend so much time there and they are the most affordable for tropical fruit trees. Definitely worth the trip.

My husband and me went there 2 weeks ago and told the owner that we had heard about the nursery through a YouTube video. She replied "Oh John? Yea he's a nice guy"

[RGH]

Thank you John! Went there today with my wife and we bought Katuk, Shiso, Chaya, Okinawan Spinach and a couple of Orchids! We will go back and also get Strawberry Tree and an Anise tree!

My favorite nursery for buying fruit trees is the Ty Ty Nursery in Georgia and they ship plants directly to your home.

[patstone]

Thanks for sharing your trip to JRN with us! I made a list and will take the three hour drive there next weekend. I can hardly wait, I woke up this morning thing about the plants you showed us. Take care of yourself and have a Blessed life!

Hey John I live 5 minutes from that nursery I bought some plants for my sister about 2 years ago.  But now I'm looking for a house for me and I really want to start growing my own fruits and vegetables.  I will get lots of plants from this nursery. Thank you for sharing
