Not sure if I'll buy again. I'll see how these grow first to determine. They came in pretty scrawny for my liking. And I paid a decent price for what I received as well.

Tree looked great!
May 4, 2018

I ordered a 3-1 cherry tree and it looked to be in great shape when it arrived. Due to the weather here in NY I havent planted it yet but I have transplanted it to a pot in the mean time. That didnt seem to faze it all. So far so good. Hope this baby takes off this year!

Blueberries for my garden
May 4, 2018

The two plants were packaged well and are very healthy. There was no shock whatsoever that I saw after planting them in the soil. They have blooms on them and I am hoping that they grow nicely in the spot I chose to plant.

Great service and great trees!
May 4, 2018

This review is based off of my overall experience with FGT. I have ordered cherry trees, pomegranate trees, avocado trees, blueberry and rasberry bushes and windmill palms over the past year. All of their trees have been amazing with the exception of one avocado tree that was damaged in transit and the two windmill palms that didn't make it through a zone 7 winter. They resent a new avocado tree and gave me full credit for the palms in which I ordered other trees as a replacement.

Service, variety, website and trees are A+ in my opinion and I always look forward to new arrivals.

Thank you,

Eric

Very poor quality
May 4, 2018

All trees are not very healthy and bad warranties! I placed few trees. All trees that I received were bad. Although, I waited to see whether tree still can make it or not. It caused time expired for warranty issue and cost more to get back up one. It ended up cost lot more than local buy.

Beautiful tree!
May 4, 2018

I bought a 3-4 year old lemon tree and it came in looking great despite being shipped all the way to mass. It came in first week of April and it is currently may first and our tree is covered with the tiniest baby lemons. The tree is so beautiful and healthy!

The tree died
May 4, 2018

The tree was so tiny and unhealthy when it arrived, it had no chance. It is dead by now. This is the second tree that did not survive and I wont buy anymore online.

Acquiring an Asian pear tree
May 4, 2018

This did not work out as well as one might have hoped. The people at FGT were always very pleasant and helpful. However, the logistics did not function as they should've. I had to put in a special request for a ship date, since, as I recall, in the order form, there was not an option to request a special shipping date. In spite of my request, the pair of trees arrived a month before the soil thawed where I wanted to plant them (in southern NH). They then sent a replacement pair at the proper time. However, on this occasion the two beautifully leafed-out trees both arrived with their trunks half and three-quarters snapped off, because they had been packed by the FGT shipping department in a 7' long carton (heavy rootballs at the ends) that lacked a stiffener along its length (e.g., a tomato stake), had ostensibly been picked up in the middle by someone during shipping, and snapped. Once again, FGTs was most cordial and forthcoming, sending a replacement shipment, which I believe is currently underway.

Excellent service and products

I was impressed with the condition of the trees when they arrived. The service was also impressive as you are kept informed every step of the way.

Grape and strawberries died.
May 4, 2018

Everything was great but the grape died and the strawberries never did anything. The strawberries were replaced and the new ones are doing great. All the other tress look really good but the crepe has red leaves? Not sure I was sent the right tree.

Just as promised!
May 4, 2018

Arrived on predicted ship date, extremely well packaged in pots with still moist soil. Trees were with slender trunks (as they should have been) but with offshoots present and tiny flowers. Willow was even staked and tied for security!

Good experiance overall
May 4, 2018

My order came in quickly, but one item was not included. The company refunded my money for the item, but would have liked to have gotten it as ordered, but overall, a good experiance. I will use this company again in future
