I was unable to obtain White dogwood trees at any nursery within 40 miles of me. So, I went online and found Fast-Growing Trees. They had my trees, I placed an order, it was shipped next day and I received two days later. Entire process completed in three days! Trees were carefully packaged, no damage during shipping and they supplied detail care instructions. I plan to order more items in the future from them. Totally satisfied, future customer!

Spring in the air
March 3, 2018

The lily had so many brown leaves as I got the shipment and had to remove them before potting it loosing it's volume.
Lemon tree only had a couple of green leaves, hope it will grow more as it start growing. Hope for both will do well as they start to grow.

I ordered two trees and paid for the additional warranty last fall. The trees were packed very well and arrived quickly. I did notice a lot of centipedes in the soil but treated that with diatomaceous earth immediately. My trees did well (potted indoors) but started to decline after a month or so. I emailed them and they were so helpful offering a ton of suggestions to help me keep my trees alive. In the end I did activate the warranty as they did die, in most part due to my own actions but the $16 I spent on the warranty paid off as the $180 worth of trees were refunded with store credit with no push back whatsoever. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was. Now my new trees are thriving (no centipedes in the dirt this time btw) and I will definitely be a return customer!

Citrus and Avocado trees
March 3, 2018

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the trees I received. The lime and avocado trees were covered in unopened blossoms. I was hesitant to shop here because of the mixed reviews but would recommend shopping here in the future. The size of the trees I received was much bigger than I expected.

Great.
I am not used to the internet so it takes me quite a while to figure out what you want.
It took 30 minutes for me to figure out what I am not a robot is about.

Lemon Tree
March 2, 2018

Very pleased in how fast it arrived as well I was surprised at how nice it looked. The online service was easy and fast. It gave instructions and the video is what sold me on buying there. The prices are wonderful and it is truly a one stop place from tree to pots.

Leyland Cypress Orders
March 2, 2018

I recently ordered 6 large-sized Leyland Cypress trees to start with to see what quality they would turn out to be, and not only did they arrive just 2 days after placing the order, but they were all beautiful and healthy and arrived in excellent condition -- so much so that I quickly ordered 6 more and was rewarded with the same speedy delivery of beautiful healthy trees! Would order again from Fast Growing Trees without hesitation.

Annoyed
March 2, 2018

I ordered my treeexpecting it to arrive days later per the website and then after my purchase it said it would be delayed until April. A few days later my mother received her tree that she bought at the exact same time I did and she only lives 5 minutes away. I emailed asking about the status of mine and have not received a response back. When I try to check the status of mine the order status area is completely blank. Im very upset and would like to hear a response back and a time frame for when my tree will be delivered.

Quick response to shipping damage

Customer service was good. There was a damage issue on an order and follow solutions were timely. Disappointed that I could not purchase larger trees though

So far, so good.
March 2, 2018

Haven't gotten my tree yet, but the web site and customer service have been great. I ordered a lemon tree two years ago, and it died on me, but I think that had (A LOT) more to do with me than the retailer.

Tiny trees, exorbitant price
March 1, 2018

I decided to give these guys a shot after reading mostly good reviews, but will absolutely not be ordering from them again.

I ordered 2 trees: a weeping willow and a yoshino cherry tree. I only ordered a 4-5' weeping willow, but it came and was no more than 1/4" wide, propped up onto a (much thicker) stick. The cherry tree I ordered (a 6-7'), was not mature at all, very thin stalk, few branches, and barely cracked 6'.

You pay a premium price ordering this site, and the trees do nothing to back it up. As I said, I wanted to give these guys a shot to see what they're all about, but have no intention of ordering from again. I went to my local HD and they had much larger and more mature trees (both weeping willows and yoshino cherry), for less than half the price. Do not bother with this site.
