Swansons Nursery is an excellent plant nursery wit...

Swansons Nursery is an excellent plant nursery with a huge variety of thousands of plants.

Unfortunately it isn't a great place for sellers. My experience started when I called the nursery and was told that I would get a call back from those who may be interested. No such call occurred.

As soon as I approached the owner to ask about selling there, he made a number of assumptions about me (such as a lack of a business license) that are pretty far from the truth, and I felt like the general vibe was of "it's a whole big process that you wouldn't know much about". In fact, I have a business license and have been selling sequioas online and in person for a while. He assumed I didn't have any licenses actually, and eventually concluded that he simply was "not interested at this time", which he could have said at the outset instead of coming across as passive aggressive by assuming a lack of experience which I eventually refuted in the conversation.

He assumed that sequoias weren't selling well which couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that his two sequoias are getting pretty old, sitting in large pots in the shade in a small corner of the store, pretty much hidden away and likely overpriced. With plenty of other conifers in stock, it seems unlikely to me that the largest tree on earth, fastest growing conifer that has national parks dedicated to it, as well as a relatively confined territory in California while being capable of growing other places - it seems unlikely to me that this tree simply isn't selling well based on demand alone.

So yeah, great place for customers, not very welcoming to prospective sellers.
