I have been purchasing trees from FGT for a couple of years now. They have always been great with reasonable shipping times. I always enjoy the BOGO and deep discounts!

For the most part, I have had excellent experiences with Fast Growing Trees. I have learned, however, not to order during the summer season because travel in a hot delivery truck doesn't bode well for some plants.

I have purchased a 3-in-1 pear tree, a black tartarian cherry tree, and a fantasia nectarine tree from FGT and all are doing well as far as I can tell since they're currently dormant with no leaves. I was worried after purchasing the pear tree since to started losing its leaves a few weeks after arriving, but I was reassured by FGT experts that the tree was merely going into dormancy, which was relieving to hear. Thanks FGT! I highly recommend purchasing from FGT.

Wow! What Quality!
January 14, 2025

The trees arrived when I was told they would be here. Upon unwrapping, it was impressive as to the size, health, and quality of the trees. Now, around a month has passed and the trees are thriving! Thank you for the manner in which you do business. I know if I order a tree from your company that I will get an amazing, healthy, beautiful tree! I can trust your company!

Half a tree
January 14, 2025

Received a tree that looks to be half dead. The tree has healthy growth on one side. On the other side, barren branches. If they're coming back, it will take a long time.

My cart was loaded for all the fantastic discounts that they were offering & i was thrilled...i am a repeat buyer...the order would be paid in full & shipped in april. I talked with Lisa [ she did her best but obviously was restrained] & the last day of the order was on a nonday in 12/2024 -- when i went to process the order on my home computer, it necessitated a code...the code could only be sent to my work # which is in Keene, NH & i live in New Salem, Mass so therfore the order could not be processed. I believe i sent Lisa an email that evening & the a call was returned the next day by lisa... after some haggling, she stated that she could give me most of the discount but not all of it. I was "pissed" [& please excuse me]. Subsequently, i discovered the company had a venture capital group as an 'interested' investor...Fast Growing Trees lost that order over an additional spiff that the person in charged stated thru Lisa she would not give me & all because i couldn't process the order from my home computer since i couldn't get the 'secret' code. I'll still do business with them, however they have lost my loyalty & i will not advertise in a positive manner for them. Doug mulligan & negative in the North on FGT

Good tree bad stand
January 14, 2025

The tree was advertised with a stand, received with a stand but the stand did not work. Finally tied the tree to a curtain rod. Did let you know, and you gave me $15 on my credit car.

Christmas tree purchase
January 14, 2025

I bought a 5 to 6 foot Fraser Fir fresh cut Christmas tree because it was the cheapest option I could find. It took a bit over a week to get it and when it came I was surprised by how smell, light, and narrow the box was. Upon opening it sure enough there was a tree in it and it was tightly tied up. After setting it up it seemed small, it was close to 4'10" and I was hoping for a little taller but not really worth complaining about. As far as the health of the tree, it was extremely healthy. Even after January 3rd when it was time to break it down into wood, it was still fresh feeling and looking. I'd likely go to fast growing trees again in the future but choose a larger option.
