Tree is not responding
May 4, 2018

Received an order early in April. The Crepe Myrtle is doing well. The Chinese Pastache tree has not done anthing. No greening, no bud development. An inquiry resulted in a response to wait another month. Having worked with hibernating plants before, my opinion is the tree is dead. It does not look like the company is in any hurry to help.

Poor experience
May 4, 2018

I recently ordered four apple trees for my elderly mother as a birthday gift. I intended to plant the trees in her yards so she could enjoy seeing the abundant wildlife in the area. Three of the four trees arrived in very good condition, however the forth (a pink lady) arrived in poor shape. Since planting, the three healthy trees have flourished while the forth appears dead.

I got a 2 year grape vine from them. It came very thin. You can tell it is in its first year but when i emailed customer service, this is the reply I got: "We don't normally guarantee the height on gallon plants only the root stock. I hope it will grow well and thrive for you." Basically they don't stand behind their product when it is not up to standard.

I ordered 2 pomegranate trees last year and they didn't make it through the winter. I called and they sent me out 2 new ones that were bigger than the ones I planted. I also have a key lime bush that I over wintered indoors. It did great and I picked about 12 little key limes this spring. I will order again for sure.

I purchased 6 trees/plants from Fast Growing Trees and unfortunately three of them suffered extreme shock from being shipped. I reached out to them within days of arrival that something may be wrong. They made a note of it since I got back to them within the 5 day guarantee period and said to keep an eye on them and let them know if they made a turn for the worst. About 4 weeks later I called their customer service and spoke with a very pleasant girl named Wonyae who helped me check on the plants to see if they were in fact dead and sent me replacement plants or store credit for the ones that were. This is how customer service is supposed to work. Thank you.

We have bought trees in the past and were very happy with them. We purchased and planted 4 trees this past fall and, unfortunately, none of them survived. Fast-Growing-Trees responded to our email within 1 day and has already shipped replacement trees. Very impressive customer service!

LOVE my new trees
April 27, 2018

I ordered 2 small Dynamite Crape Myrtles a few months ago. The ordering process was quick and easy. My trees arrived as expected and the company was great about communicating with me through the process. My trees have been in the ground for about a month now. They are healthy and growing like crazy. I am so thrilled with my purchase and will be purchasing again for sure.

I ordered little gem magnolia and asian pear tree. When they were delivered the trees were sitting on top of each other because of the way they were packaged in a same box. I requested customer service to resend the trees which they did on a very timely manner. However, they were delivered again in the same condition. I uploaded the picture and they were good about delivery it again, and it finally got delivered correctly. I had asked them to send the trees in two separate package, but they refused. They have a very good customer service, but I don't know why they would ship the trees in a same box, which is likely going to break them.

Nice Product
April 23, 2018

The trees arrived very quickly to my surprise. Some of the tree pots were broken during shipment. I lost one tree possibly due to that. The others so far seem to be doing fine.

Emerald Green Arborvitae
April 18, 2018

I immediately unpacked my four trees the same day they arrived. Two had some brown areas. One has brown on all of one side. I watered them and repotted them in slightly larger pots in hopes they would recover. I am still waiting. I have not seen any changes so far. I also paid to insure the plants. How long should I wait?

Hong Kong Orchard Tree
April 18, 2018

Trees came packaged very well to prevent damaging. Both trees are now putting out new growth. One is a bit slower in putting out new leaves than the other but I expect it will catch up. It remains to be seen if these are true Hong Kong Orchard trees which don't put out those annoying seed pods. But I expect and hope that this tree company knows what a true HK Orchard tree is!

Cross Country Purchase

Ordered 18 Shooting Star Junipers. Shipping trees from South Carolina to Washington State was a new experience for me. They arrived in less than a week, the soil in each pot still damp. They dont seem to have suffered greatly, one trees top was broken.
