My review is not going to change. You shouldn't even get 1 star. If you really need to know why, go back into my history and review. And maybe stop deleting my negative reviews from your website. I'm tired of writing reviews so stop asking.

New Customer
July 11, 2025

In a project to redo my backyard I bought 6 Taylor Junipers for privacy / sun break. The trees arrived in good condition, and I look forward to installing in the new planters I'm working on. I later realized I would need more trees to fill out the landscape and unfortunately, they didn't have any the same size and the next size up $$$. So, I will have to keep looking.

Pet Cemetery Border
July 11, 2025

I got 12 hedges last year to start a border around our pet cemetery. They are head high now and looking good. I ordered 14 more this year while working for the army down at fort Bragg so I called and scheduled delivery to make sure they didn't arrive until I got home. That worked out smooth. I got the hedges after I returned, got them all planted and they are all looking swell.

I ordered 2 knock out rose trees. They arrived on time, in great condition and with very thorough instructions. I planted them and my roses are blooming beautifully. I'm get so many compliments from neighbors. I am in love and will absolutely order more from this site in future.

Great customer svc
July 2, 2025

Very pleased with customer svc, ordered a Granny Smith apple tree. Once I rcvd it, I noticed that on the tree tag it was a Gala not a Granny Smith. I emailed customer svc along with a pic of tree/label and they sent me a Granny Smith free of charge and said I could donate or keep the Gala.

Reading the reviews
June 30, 2025

Although I've not placed an order from FGT, I have used the site for knowledge. I was planning on making a large order, however, after reading reviews from people who have ordered, not sure now if i'm interested. Appears most complain about your Customer Service and warranties or guarantees on the products.

SCAMMED!
June 27, 2025

SCAMMED! Paid for a gallon pot of lavender and received a gallon of dirt with a small sprig of lavender inside. Customer service tells me they cannot guarantee size of plant. WILL NOT buy there again!

This was the 2nd time in less than 60 days that I purchased plants and they sent me a sub-par plant. The first time, the lavender plant was out of stock so issued store credit. I waited a month for the lavender plant to come back in stock, purchased 8 plants, received 7 that looked great and 1 that was horrible and should never have left their warehouse. Again, the plants are now out of stock so I asked for a refund and instead of putting my refund on my credit card, they refunded my store credit. With my experience with this company at this rate I will never get to actually use the store credit because they will always send me bad plants, not be able to correct the problem and refund to store credit. I'll just shop somewhere else. It's not worth the hassle to deal with terrible customer service.

Fraud!
June 23, 2025

Ordered 18 - 5 gallon baby blue spruce trees. Suppose to be 30-36" Got 16 Baby blue trees in burlap delivered in 4 different shipments.? Any where from 14" to 19".? Called and asked for my other 2 trees, which they sent, the other 2 trees arrived in 5 gallon buckets. Which are 27"? Did I even get the right first 16 trees? That are 14-19" I don't think so, more like 1 gallon in burlap! Let alone the boxes they were shipped in, looked like they had been thru a war zone! Not a happy camper here!

Spring snow crabapple
June 22, 2025

Received 3 spring snow crabapple trees in 3 boxes in good condition.
Each tree had one broken branch, but don't believe will hurt anything.
I planted all 3 within 2 hours, and are everything I hoped for.

Why did I buy from here
June 20, 2025

I purchased 5 trees from here in April so they could be planted in the spring. The trees were on the high end of the price scale so I got on the live chat. I was assured that these trees would be able to grow and produce fruit rather quickly (3-5 years) and that's why so pricey. When I opened the boxes, both of the apple trees did not have leaves and all three of the Bartlett pear trees had leaves the were black around the edges. Again I was in contact with live chat to work on a remedy for the trees. I have been able to get three out of the five trees to thrive and leaf out. For the price of these trees, I would not expect to be working this hard at keeping them alive. I live on a farm and know that growing plants and trees is difficult work, but I was given substandard trees to work with
(Plant). I bought other fruit trees for a third of your price, and they are doing great. Not a good investment.

Trees came very late
June 19, 2025

I ordered trees in February to show up in early April. They didn't arrive until June and it's too hat and dry to plant them now. I'll have to keep them alive in pots until fall or next spring. Trees were kind of beat up on arrival but I'll nurse them and see what happens.

It Died
June 19, 2025

My apricot tree arrived, seemingly fine. I followed the instructions and planted it within a few days, with the burlap bag it came with around the roots. I planted it with a high-nitrogen fertilizer, watered, etc. it did not grow, the leaves dried and fell off, and this week the branches snapped, confirming it is dead.
