The site isn't a scam, they do ship out trees, and I order from them because they only ship live trees and I've never had luck with bareroot. But the trees arrive in good condition about half the time. The other half they appear to be just tossed into a shipping box and arrive snapped in half, missing main branches, or with just a few leaves on them. Overall I would say the value for the price is pretty bad. Larger, healthier, better rooted trees can be purchased at a local nursery or big box store for half the price, and they don't get mangled in shipping. Also they don't guarantee their trees unless you purchase added protection.

Love FastGrowingTrees! Almost everything we've ordered is thriving and the few that haven't were quickly and professionally addressed. We're big fans!

Quick Delivery 1 of the 4 plants purchased was in rough shape. I ordered two lemon bushes but one of them looked a little rough, I've treated it the same as my other lemon bush but within the month all of the leaves have wilted off while the other is thriving. Not sure what the issue is and may be me because I'm a new plant mom but it seems like it was delivered in rougher shape than the rest.
The other three plants I couldn't be happier with and they're all doing well and some arrived taller than expected. They were all delivered quickly too.

I ordered a mango tree. A lychee tree and a mulberry tree. The lychee arrived in very poor condition and died with a few days. The mango was in a crushed pot but survived ok. A replacement lychee was finally sent after I was first told I could pay extra to " guarantee" my trees. The replacement arrived DEAD. I immediately called and eMailed dated time stamped pictures of the plant and packaging - to date - not a si hole reply or response. My final tree the mulberry arrived yesterday in a crushed container, wilted, dry and broken. Once again. No reply to email or phone messages left. Extremely upset and unhappy with over 300$ spent for so far one live tree. Spend your $$ elsewhere!

I've ordered several trees from Fast Growing Trees over the last year. I have 3 apple trees, a 5/1 plum, 2 cold hardy pomegranates, a vanilla plant, 2 cherries, and a nectarine. The Apple, plum, and pomegranate trees are doing fine, but things could change.

The vanilla, cherry, and nectarine are all struggling. I bought into Fast Growing Trees because of their 1 year warranty and their claim to have a better rootstock. My nectarine is dying even though I water and fertilize as directed, one of my cherry trees died, and every other plant was damaged upon delivery.

I've had decent luck with my trees from Fast Growing Trees and the problem trees have been covered and replaced with the warranty, but Fast Growing Trees does a real shoddy job of packaging their plants for shipment. Most trees that arrive have broken branches (bing cherry, Lapins cherry, black tartarian cherry, 5/1 plum, nectarine) and the latest tree, bing cherry, was snapped in half. Also, when my vanilla plant arrived it was completely unpotted, the roots were destroyed, and the plant was in multiple pieces.

I'd still recommend Fast Growing Trees but I'd make sure to inform who I'm telling that you should expect a less than ideal tree when it's delivered. The silver lining is that Fast Growing Trees will send you a new plant or will give you a store credit if their is a problem with your order, which has happened several times for me.
