Bought a Fishtail Palm and when it arrived it looks nothing like the picture of what I expected to get. The plant in photos looks nice and full top to bottom, mine is two stalks with what looks like eaten and browned leaves. Was told to email customer service. Nichol replied with a very scripted response. I have emailed twice more to return plant and get a refund... crickets. I understand this is nature but when you promote your website to people that are not gardeners or landscapers you should represent product with photos to what the consumer will receive, not something that it MAY turn into in 5 years.
Never order again! Never ever ever ever ever ever!

The trees looked great! Healthy, vibrant, but one got damaged by the packaging. The top broken off from compressed packing, a little bit larger box would have prevented this. I just received a Brodie Eastern Red Cedar today so hopefully it's undamaged!
Easy to reach by phone to answer questions. Everything so far delivered as promised. We will see if trees grow.
Ordered a variety of indoor plants. One plant was delivered in bad shape. Customer service was amazing and gave me a refund on the plant.
Overall experience of shopping and shipping was great. But the most important part which is the product was very unsatisfactory. The tree was damaged and ALOT of the leafs were cut, damaged, ripped.
It was a good experience! The protective packaging was good and nothing was damaged.
Quick shipping, well packaged, thorough planting and care instructions
I ordered the 1 gallon lemon Bush for a recently widowed friend living out of state. I wanted to send her something a little bit different to let her know l was thinking of her and that l hoped might bring her some enjoyment not just now but for a long time as it will, hopefully, continue to grow and bloom for years ahead. This was just perfect! It arrived within a few days of my order, too. She was very happy. She sent me a photo, and it is really very nice looking. This was my first order from fast growing trees. I ordered because of the other reviews and the photos that showed the plants were nice sized and healthy when they arrived. I am so glad I did. Thanks so much!
I have no issue with Fast Growing Trees per se but if they can choose another shipping partner other than FedEx that would be welcomed. I ordered an ice cream banana tree in a 6 inch pot and it arrived so banged up because the FedEx delivery guys can't read "LAY FLAT" or FRAGILE. The package was delivered standing on it's head and so the poor leaves were broken (1) and brown. So sad. I hesitate to buy again because gorillas would show more care. Fast Growing Trees if you read this PLEASE go with DHL or UPS. The plant has survived but really... I was pretty upset. No wonder humans are surviving on this planet.
I have ordered two plants through Fast Growing Trees and both experiences have been fantastic. My friends are delighted with how well their plants are doing—they really do grow quite quickly. The plants were in excellent condition when they arrived, and, as the gift giver, I really appreciate the clear communications I received about delivery times, etc. I'm so impressed that I plan on getting a plant present for myself in the near future.
I bought the tree as a gift for a friend who lives in Florida. I am a UK resident and was disappointed that there was no option for a gift message. I had to email my friend to warn her it was on its way. I would have liked it to be a surprise.
Due to the past winter weather, on 31st of January, 2021, I received my tree 3 days beyond the 1-2 day shipping rate.
I had a partially frozen tree, and the cold haven't yet reached the inner core/roots system.
After opened the box, the tree looked like a nursery reject, half of it's foliage was missing. I've throughly inspect it and it had a partially broken cross branch.
I emailed them and send 3 pictures, I was told to throughly water it, and wait 2-3 weeks after the February 2nd, 2021 date, to see if the tree has recovered.
I was given a date as to when my trees would arrive. We had made arrangements to have them planted. They arrived 10 weeks ahead of time and with several inches of snow on ground. After a call to FastGrowing Trees, they agreed to send me another order on the scheduled date. So hopefully I will receive my 10 trees at the end of March
I am always very happy with the service of the fast growing staff service even their price are kind of expensive and still we need to purchase a year warranty unlike other nursery stand behind their product come with one year warranty. The lychee I got it seems doesn't have any tree roots stick out yet. Picture taken send to them, ask me to wait once the tree die I let them know.? I even have a year warranty for my tree. I am not sure what should I do.

Arrived intact. Not a fan that you have to call to order stuff but the staff is super nice and helpful.
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.
