Ponderosa Cactus

Wow! The set up they have with beautiful cactus and plants took our breathe away. We are from out of town and were wanting to purchase a saguaro, we were met with excellent customer service from Esmeralda, she showed us what Ponderosa had, but also mentioned other local nurseries that may have smaller ones to transport, we were surprised that she was willing to send us elsewhere to help us out. We did check out other places, but Ponderosa had the best prices and weren't price gouging. We also loved how friendly and helpful Esmeralda was and if we are ever back in Tucson we will definitely be back!

Love love love PC! Great selection, ambience & service! Highly recommend! Also...great prices!Thank you to everyone at PC!

Esmerelda, Ponderosa cactus owner, and her team were more than knowledgeable and helpful, they were magicians with all these gorgeous succulence, cactus, plants and accessories. Their prices were very reasonable! Their selection was vast and their desire to help was refreshing! You bet, I'm returning again and again!

Always good service from a hardworking family that's been in the business for decades. My business always calls Ponderosa when we need something desert plant related. The new location on Ft Lowell is staffed by a fantastic couple. The selection is great and the place looks awesome. Bueno Suerte Ponderosa people.

Horrid terribly horrid place. Went there after calling looking for small or miniature saguaros which I was told they had. Could barely walk around and it was very unorganized. There were random chickens walking around and about 6 or so exotic birds in terrible condition. These beautiful macaws are miserable and plucking their feathers out. Stuck outside in 100 degree weather with dirty water buckets and chickens locked in cages with them. No food access and no shade on birds. The sales lady was very rude and snotty. Refused to accept the fact we didn't want huge saguaros and instead kept knocking other stores. Don't go there

This place is amazing, like going to the botanical gardens for free! The lady working was ever so helpful, and really told us exactly what we needed to know. At times, she overwhelmed me with all her knowledge, but overall, an awesome experience.Prices are about normal. Maybe A little better than other places. Large ocotillo: 65 bucks, little plants 8 bucks, common plant types, 16 bucks for 5 gallon bucket...Great place.

My landscaper sent me to this location on Wetmore. Very offputting young lady approached me after about 15 minutes. Can I help you? Yes, I was looking at plants and wanted to know some prices if you could walk around with me." "Are you aware that this is a wholesale location?" She said with attitude. Talk about making a person feel welcome. "No the sign at the front says wholesale/retail and the gates were open so I thought I could come in." "Do you have an appointment?" "No. I'm sorry am I upsetting you by my being here" I was put on the defense as if I had trespassed. Now I realize she is a spoiled family member. Rude. I left and will never go back.

Good variety of plants at reasonable prices. I included their delivery and planting of 2 trees. The very helpful lady said the owner would call to set the date.Nobody called so I called them (twice), but could only leave a message on the answering machine. Nobody returned my calls, so I drove over, picked up my trees and had someone else plant them. They must be too busy, but they should have returned my calls.

This place has the coolest atmosphere. The folks are kind and helpful. All around a good place to find yourself in !

Maricela is great to work with! We are "fixing" our front yard and she had a great assortment of desert plants and was most accommodating. Gave us some great info and great pricing! We'll be back!!
