So far so good, hot summer and not much rain and they're still doing well since I planted in May. I'm looking forward to seeing this heir growth from now to then.

Not worth it
August 9, 2018

I paid about $99 for the fast grow crepe myrtle and something to add to the soil to make it grow, and when it came the plant part was barely a foot tall! A week later Lowe's had Crepe Myrtle's on sale for $7 and they have grown like weeds! The one I purchased from Fast Growing Trees is still just over a foot, the others are 4 and 5 feet!

Two Orders
August 9, 2018

Ordered twice and both times very satisfied. The tree was larger and healthier than I expected. The holly bushes also were in excellent condition and about the size I expected. My free dogwood was slightly damaged in shipping but was so healthy overall that I pinched off the damaged tip and you cannot even tell. It is also thriving very well

Apricot tree
August 9, 2018

The first tree I was sent was very small with hardly any secondary roots. I planted the day it arrived and it never put out any leaves. I called customer support and they asked me to be patient. After a month and a half, I called again and they made arrangements for a second tree to be sent. The person I talked to made sure that the tree would be shipped at the right time to prevent it from being exposed to too much California heat. The tree has been in the ground for 3 weeks and is doing well considering that it's being exposed to triple digit temperatures. I used its giant cardboard shipping box to protect it from afternoon sun. Looking forward to apricots in a few years.

Always get taken care of
August 9, 2018

Fast growing trees have always taken care of me. I love their warranty because I put so much hard work on my trees and then if they die, I don't have to worry about it as the warranty is great and customer service exceeds my expectations.

Poorly cared for trees
August 9, 2018

Was very saddened when I received trees that were all the smallest of the advertised size range, and only one of the trees actually arrived like it had been cared for and ready to ship. Our cherry tree had a damaged root ball, and our peach tree had been rootbound in a container much too small for it. Our little apple tree was the only one in good condition. None of them are anywhere near mature enough to produce fruit the first year as advertised. We shall see how they winter and if I will have to make a warranty claim on them come spring, it just made me very sad that the lack of care they had before coming to our home was what held them back from successful healthy transplant. Will not be purchasing from this company again.

Trees doing well
August 9, 2018

Purchased Chicago Figs and they are doing well - Also included in the order was a blueberry - not doing so well. I would recommend the figs to anyone - I do have fruit this first year. About a dozen on the larger tree. 8-10 on the smaller. I have the trees in 25 gallon containers.
Thanks
Any advice with the blueberry would be great?

Excellent results
August 9, 2018

I have ordered several times over the past few years and have always received an excellent product in a timely manor. It's also important to our family that they offer non GMO fruit trees.

Amazing
February 18, 2021

Beautiful chocolate mimosa tree delivered very quickly. Easy transaction and not too pricey! Was delivered in a pot of soil and could stay in it for a week. Customer service answered all of my questions and seemed very knowledgeable in regards to the care and delivery of the tree. Would recommend to everyone!

? Fast growing what...
August 8, 2018

I don't know, I payed a lot of money for what appeared to be a twig when it arrived in the mail. For the first 6 weeks it did nothing but turn yellow. I called FGT for help and really did not get any confidence in the response I was getting. I was told to buy a certain product because of it's ability to turn the tree on and get it growing but it did not stand up to the claim.
I purchased a warranty so if it died the tree would be replaced. I finally decided to take bold steps and concocted a mixture of organic fertilizers. I've been feeding this mixture for about 6 weeks and the transformation is dynamic.
What can I say...

Size matters
August 8, 2018

I didn't expect large trees to come in the mail but I didn't expect them to be so tiny as they were and I don't believe I saw anything on the website saying that the bushes themselves would only be about the size of a softball

Very Happy
August 5, 2018

My plants arrived two days after ordering. Everything looked good right out of the box. When I planted my gardenias and white dogwood they started growing like crazy! I will be buying more plants from FGT. It is nice to do business with professionals.

Very pleased!
August 5, 2018

Everyone laughed at me for ordering a "twig" online, but my "twig" has grown to a legitimate tree in 3 short months. I would have paid 3x as much at my local nursery for the same tree.

Delivery was fast and the packaging was strong/secure.

Great experience and so glad I came across this site.
