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.

My shipped items arrived in very bad shape. My complaints have already been sent to Fast Growing Trees during the summer.

I ordered 2 blueberry bushes. 1 was good but the 2nd struggled until it finally died. When I sent pictures, I could only get a credit, not another blueberry bush (as there were none in stock) nor would they give me a refund. I did not need or want anything else. I ordered something just because I did not want to lose my money but definitely will not order from Fast Growing Trees in the future.

I ordered the above plants along with the fertilizer packets and despite our dry, dry weather right now, they are still doing very well. I'm a happy customer.

Damaged trees
August 11, 2025

The trees were received badly damage. It took many times to get someone on the phone and the experience was disappointing. Poor customer service and you don't stand behind your policies

Not so fast
August 11, 2025

My local trees are taking a long time to get going since I planted them. Leaves are cracked and brown, even though I have followed all of the planting instructions. I hope these trees will make it until next growing season.

Gift for a friend
August 11, 2025

We purchased this in lieu of flowers as a sympathy gift for a dear friend who had recently lost a loved one. It was received with heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. The gesture felt more personal and lasting, and it brought comfort during a difficult time. Highly recommend this as a thoughtful alternative to traditional sympathy gifts.

It was terrible. Tried to give your company a chance to make it right and was ultimately ghosted.

Very Satisfied Customer
August 11, 2025

I bought two Crape Myrtle trees about a month ago and they're already blooming! I just finished ordering a Weeping Willow to be delivered the first week of September and am really looking forward to watching it grow into a large beautiful tree.

New to growing trees
August 11, 2025

I have recently grown interested in growing trees. I ordered a peach tree, two orange trees and two avocado trees. All are doing great except the two avocado trees. They lost their leaves but passed the scratch test. Hoping they will survive.

Size matters
August 11, 2025

Customer support was excellent, and though they could not resolve the issues, they were responsive.
A 17-inch-tall tree is nowhere near 3-4 feet tall. A 2-gallon pot is nowhere near a 5-gallon pot.
After three attempts to get a tree that fit its description, I gave up and received a full refund.

I purchased 12 Karl Foerster plants which all but 2 died from our brutal summer extremes in weather. The company will not replace or refund my money even though I purchased the one year warranty. All they wanted to offer me was a 30% discount on another purchase. Not happening!

Damaged trees,
August 11, 2025

Trees came to my house with broken limbs and poorly packed, customer service created an e-mail chase for weeks saying they didn't receive pictures of damage, one tree has died the other is struggling. I don't believe this e-mail will go public.

I ordered several plants. They're all doing beautifully except for one. When I emailed customer service with pictures they responded very quickly and gave me a few tips to try and see if it could be salvaged. When those didn't work and I sent an additional photo they promptly sent a replacement…
