Small trees
September 3, 2018

Unfortunately the trees we got were like twigs and aren't growing well. Maybe it was my perception pf the size the should've been was wrong. :( Just not as good as going to a nursery and seeing the trees before buying.

Transit Time Woes
September 3, 2018

You have great nursery stock. However, FedEx Ground cross country puts at risk safe delivery of stock. My plants looked great even though two of four arrived out of pots and died subsequently. FedEx Air is perhaps better, but your contract with FedEx doesn't allow upgrading of ground to air. Alternative would be to try better packing of the pots. Transit time was 5 days.

Great Stuff!
September 3, 2018

I ordered some hydrangea bushes from me -- and they were all great. So then I ordered some blueberry and raspberry bushes -- again great -- so I went back to get a meyer lemon three, which is already sprouting lemons. I kinda want to pull some trees out so I can bet more from them. Great experience.

I would never shop from you guys again.
September 3, 2018

It's a waste of money.
Their products are not what it looks like from pictures.
Also they have not grown since I bought them in spring.

For the price paid for the tree, I would had hoped that I wouldn't be feeling this way this far into the planting of the tree! Shipping was excellent, timing was good, but it has been touch and go the rest of the time!

Royal purple smoke tree
September 3, 2018

I bought what i thought was an actual tree. What i got was a twig in some dirt. I planted it as directed with the special fertilizer, watered it regularly, and it shriveled up and died. When I tried to contact them none of my email would go through.

Stay Away From this Place
September 3, 2018

The Japanese maple arrived with 22 brown tipped leaves and the Pindo palm was in bad shape and very small. They both died. My wife and I are both certified master gardeners and we tried to keep them alive to no avail.
I wrote to them and never got an answer.

Web site
September 3, 2018

The plant I received was different than the plant pictured on the web site. The company tried to make me whole by not charging me for it's mistake. Still what I wanted was not what I got. Situation still exists.

Most of them died
September 3, 2018

Most of the "fast growing Thuja's" that I ordered, died. I bought some from Walmart afterwards for a fraction of the price and they are doing well.

Dead and near dead trees
September 3, 2018

Bare root trees that haven't taken root. A few are holding on, barely, but more than 1/2 are lifeless (total of 8). I've bought from Fast Growing Trees before, with success, but I'll never buy bare root again.

Snow fountain weeping cherry
September 3, 2018

I received a good quality snow fountain weeping cherry tree and it appears to be growing well currently. The free dog wood that I received looks smaller then the Charlie Brown Christmas tree and it isn't growing too well but it was a free gift tree anyways. Maybe they could give slightly larger or better quality free gifts if they give them at all. But overall my experience with this company was excellent and I would order again.

Not at all what I expected
September 3, 2018

Trees were much smaller than anticipated. For the price I expected full sized 4-5 feet trees, not thin trees where they considered the dirt/root as a part of the height. One tree was damaged and they replaced it at no cost which was great, but for what I received I over paid.

Very happy
May 5, 2021

We ordered wax Myrtle and the first shipment arrived in perfect condition. Decided to order more and unfortunately this shipment did not arrive in good shape so I contacted the company and they sent replacements which were packed properly and did arrive in perfect condition. They are now growing like crazy in our yard and we're very happy. Hoping they will be ok thru the winter and we won't have any issues.
