Quality plants
February 23, 2026
Updated review

I purchased 3 thornless blackberry bushes. The plants were in great condition and packaged very well. The convenience of having them delivered vs. transporting them myself was really nice.

Great new additions to the garden!
February 23, 2026

Avocados, lemon, mandarin orange, lime, and olive tree from 2 years ago, all thriving! Banana trees struggled, but that just the nature of challenging weather living on the Jet Stream of cold north and blistering south.

Excellent Customer Service and Selection
February 23, 2026
Updated review

Customer support is very encouraging and helpful. The toughest aspect of buying online is the stress over shipping damage and climate conditions in transit - shipping from South Caroline to Wyoming is a big job!

Great variety and expert advice

Previous review

Large variety and reasonable prices, great sales. The plant experts are great in helping to choose trees and how best to care for them. Great Chatting with a plant expert on how best to overwinter trees to be able to take advantage of end-of-season sales

One of two plants damaged
February 23, 2026

One of the two coffee plants were damaged. Wilted leaves and in bad shape. Other one was fine for the most part. Loose soil but the delivery person did lean the box against the garage and that put one of them upside down. I didn't buy the warranty with these, and I also didn't call the company to see if they would do anything so the one that died was just as much my fault for not seeing if anything could be done.

I ordered banana trees 3-4 years ago from Fast Growing Trees, they arrived damaged. No fault of theirs, most likely happened during shipping. I contacted customer service, sent them some photos and they happily shipped new trees. I had them in a matter of days! They produced the best tasting bananas we have ever had. Everybody loves them!

Great trees
February 22, 2026

All 12 of my trees and my 4 bushes have done very well. I did loose one tree to Japanese beetles, but over all they are doing well and should produce a great crop this year.

Very late, I had to complain to finally get them. They were a bit of a mess, but they are still alive. I have seven acres... I hope this goes better.

Lack of integrity
February 22, 2026

"Alive & Thrive Guarantee" turned into an all-afternoon paperwork fight!

I bought a Cold Hardy Avocado Tree from Fast Growing Trees largely because they promote a 1-year Alive & Thrive Guarantee. The tree arrived healthy and was thriving until the first frost. We live 8b grow zone and the tree "hardy to 20 degrees".

We protected it (burlap, deep covered porch ~12 feet deep, fans running to reduce frost settling) and then moved it into a heated greenhouse (~54°F overnight). It still declined and died.

I filed a claim and provided the order number, multiple photos, and scratch test documentation. Support then asked a long set of questions "do you mind answering a few questions?" (watering method and frequency, exact water amount each time, fertilizer type and schedule, light hours by time-of-day, and soil type) and said they cannot proceed without those answers.

I do mind--I have a job, and this turned into an entire afternoon of back-and-forth just to access a "guarantee" they advertise heavily. When it's presented as "do you mind answering," but the claim won't proceed without it, it feels like an extra hurdle after the fact. I asked them to either honor the guarantee/refund or cite the exact published policy language making that questionnaire mandatory.

2nd Time Around..
February 22, 2026

The bush said it was deer proof. The deer didn't eat it but they sure as heck rubbed their antlers on them and killed 9 out of 10 trees. Now I have to put fencing around the bushes... Wish I knew that in the beginning...

I placed an order and after waiting for 2 months, cancelled the order. I placed and order last May and cancelled it in July as I still had not received the order with very little feedback as to the reasons for the delay.

After 2 years
February 21, 2026

I bought 6 1-2 in Italian cypresses. 2 years ago. They come really thin and tiny, but roots were ok, so I planted them. After 2 years they all are alive and beautiful. They are all 4 feet tall now.
This is my second time I buy them.

This is THE place to buy for the best selection of mature plants. I don't want to wait 2-3 years for plants to grow and I don't mind paying more for that privilege. My order last year was extremely well packed and all the plants were perfect!
