Trees
August 11, 2025

Fast growing trees does a great job of giving information out to customers on how to take care of their trees and plants. Also, they keep in constant contact about where customer's items are. They took great care of my jacaranda tree when packaging it. My tree looks amazing, I highly recommend them.

Great experience!
August 11, 2025

We bought 6 arborvitae, and they are doing great. I had a question about the size of the root balls, and customer service promptly answered my question.

We purchased six plants, they arrived mostly dead and could not be revived. We received replacements, and it was EXACTLY the same experience. One plant survived, barely.

I'm not sure I'll be back. My issue didn't get resolved and I had to call my credit card and refuse the charge. He is the reason that I won't do business with you again.

Good goods, bad bads.
August 11, 2025

Some plants arrived just fine. That is expected, though. More than a few arrived broken, sick, or with other issues. The resolution of issues is unsatisfactory. Receiving a brand new broken product should not require a new shipment payment. The claims process is also terrible requiring a lot of work on the consumer end. The variety may be better than what you can get locally, but it is not worth receiving sick plants that need an entire season to recover, if they even do. My local plants have blown up beautifully and produced right away. I can't say the same for my "fast-growing" trees.

Lemon tree
August 11, 2025

Happy with the thuja trees but the lemon tree T that just came last week was a lemon. It was definitely not worth the price.

My Sumo mandarin tree rocks!
August 11, 2025

I should always get my citrus from Fast Growing Trees! I have purchased several treesfrom you and all came thriving, full, fully potted, and ready to take off with new growth. My recent purchase is very happy it it's new pot and putting our new leaves already. There is a huge higher quality factor from your nursery. I gave never had a failure! Fruits usually appear in the second year. Happy customer. :)

Great experience
August 11, 2025

Great company. Let's be real. These are living products, so there is only so much you can do. But so far my experience with this company is very positive. Very good communication and service. Top notch company.

Lesson learned
August 11, 2025

Absolutely the worst plant purchasing experience I've ever had. Made to feel like my opinion isn't valid by c. S. "tree" delivered was mangled by fed ex, half of tree was in pieces in box upon arrival, but was told my dissatisfaction with paying top dollar for a glorified stick wasn't justified and I should just plant it and wait. Well, that isn't what I paid for, so I bought a proper tree from another nursery.
Fast growing trees refunded me 1/3 of my purchase price.
Enjoy that money guys, you won't be getting any more from me.

I bought a 1gallon Meyer lemon bush from this site and was very happy with it. It arrived on time and the packaging looked good and the plant was not damaged. I put it in a 5gallon fabric pot with some ocean forest and it is very happy and doing well. Thanks guys!

Bad Start but good follow up
August 11, 2025

I ordered a large hibicus that arrived with small aphids enjoying the leaves. I contacted the company and was told to go by some neem oil and apply it for seven days wiping it on every leaf. This was supposed to be a gift and naturally the extra cost and time involved was unwelcome... not to mention that I did not want to plant it in my garden and expand the aphid's buffet! After a few caustic emails the company sent another one.

Usually good experience
August 11, 2025

This is the first year I have had trouble with trees I bought from this site. I bought 2 bare root nectarines that never budded out. They replaced the trees with really nice ones. However, these trees have also been struggling. Despite frequent watering and fertilizer, their leaves are turning yellow and falling off. I am hoping next year they will finally rally and do well.
