Tree arrived in great shape. It even has fruit on it. Been her 2 weeks, and doing great so far.
Bought new house and wanted to plant new trees and roses. Delivery time was about 10 days. The disappointment was price of items. Please look at local stores first. I could have saved over one third of my investment.
I bought two plants here - 1) a lime bush which is great and healthy and will probably yield at least a dozen limes this first year, and 2) an orange tree described as 3-4 years and strong/maturity to be "heavy fruit bearing" already. The advertising was nowhere close to true - maybe in another 1-2 years this little tree could bear several fruit. Right now it couldn't support in weight more than two, only formed two blossoms, both of which dropped and will give no fruit this year. It's also lost at least 30% of it's leaves. Customer service asked for pictures and they're assessment was simply that it looks healthy - they did not comment or respond to how this lives up to its advertising.
50/50 is a terrible track record.
By ordering over the phone I was able to use the advisor's knowledge to make the right choice of tree and best location to plant it. The tree arrived quickly and in good condition. There was even a bud getting ready to open. This is the second tree I have ordered from Fast Growing Trees this month. I was happy with both trees.
Easy to order and fast shipping. Trees and bushes arrived in excellent condition and good size.
It was okay until I got them in the mail and opened them, they where cut back about 8 to 12 inches.
We are so very sorry to hear this and are reaching out privately to offer further assistance!
Ordered three 3-4 foot trees. Reduced two "trees." They did refund for the third one that was missing. But what we received were two 3' skinny sticks with roots. One has about 8 leaves on it, the other one has two leaves holding on. No branches at all. Literally look like sticks and they charged $129 for each one. Total ripped off. I will NEVER order from them again.

If you were to have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to make us aware. We would love to help in any way that we can!
Customer service is great. The product I received didn't look anything like the picture shown and was much smaller than described. Should have just spent a little more for a bigger tree from a local nursery.
I was hesitant to order again this year after my experience last year, I ordered $400 in plants (two treas and 4 buses). On tree, a nectarine) had no root structure and dies. The blueberry plants are mostly dead. The shipment was lot in Federal Express for 4 days.
This year I gave FGT another chance. The Red Delicious Apple tree got lost in Federal Express's system again (apparently this is the norm). The tree did arrive looking healthy and had a root structure. So far (1 week in the ground) the tree appears to be adapting. Well see...
The shape the trees were in upon delivery was shocking! Branches were broken and roots appeared to be sheared off. I planted soon, but any leaves left had already wilted. I followed the planting instructions, and I'm following the prescribed watering regimen, and now I'm hoping for the best. These trees were not what I expected from this company.

Shipment with 2 cherry trees arrived in damaged box. (My issue really not yours) Root balls were extremely loose and trees wilted. Planted quickly and appear to be ok, but time will tell.
My hydrangeas are doing great and my red haven peach tree is too. Our Elberta is wilting a little but I've talked to one of your reps and she told me what might be wrong.
First dormant Pecan tree was received broken in shipment. I took pictures of the damaged tree and emailed them to FastGrowingTrees. Next thing I knew, I received an email confirming a replacement tree was being shipped out to me at no charge. New tree received had already come out of dormancy but in good condition this time.
These plants are more expensive than local nurseries (even the over-priced one in my affluent suburb) and arrived a bit banged up. Dry and slightly squashed.

So far, everything looks good
Easy ordering, quick delivery
Little pricey but nobody else had these
Do not do business.
I ordered two flowering cherry trees, the largest size available, as a gift. They had a promotion and a small maple was included also. Total cost ~$350.
They arrived with near no leaves and in obviously poor condition. We planted them anyway, but within two weeks it was abundantly clear they were dead.
We sent photos to Fast growing trees and, for ~$90 in shipping, 2 more trees arrived, also with basically no leaves and looking more like 5 foot twigs attached to a clump of dirt. These were also planted, in different locations that might be more beneficial, but within a month they were both clearly completely dead.
To be clear, these were planted in a yard by an experienced gardener, in their correct zone, in a yard which is absolutely teeming with healthy plant life. Just about the only thing that couldn't and didn't survive was these 4 trees.
The little maple hasn't completely died yet but it's pretty scraggly. It may or may not survive. If it does, it will have cost about $450.
Don't get trees from here.
Note - same review on ‘trust pilot'
I have written a few e-mails with no response... I downloaded the shipped app to track the delivery and it has said partially shipped for weeks.
******* and *******
Answer: Cancel your order now before it's too late, go to a local nursery and save yourself some money and unwarranted aggravation, these folks are not honorable.
Answer: I ordered 3 autumn blaze maples. They have been in the ground for 2 years now and have yet to turn red in the fall. I did some research and found that they only turn red if the temperature conditions are right. I live in Idaho and we basically skipped fall this year and went straight into winter. So once again the leaves just turned brown. I am hoping to finally get a display next year.
Answer: The same thing is happening to me. My tree died and they keep saying they're going to make good and nothing happens. Real crooks, this company.
