Each plant of Honeysuckle was $30, yet it was only a 2"x2" container. Overpriced.
The plants had good root structure but were spindly and sickly looking.
I planted them and they continue to lose leaves with only tiny signs of recovery.
They look like they will die.

Lovely selections
November 15, 2024

I had a pop up ad which peaked my curiosity. I went to your site and found some amazing trees and shrubs. Since I had a pine tree cut down this past spring and the corner of my yard looked so bare, I thought why not see what there was that would be good for that area. I found and purchased one of your Crepe Myrtle trees. Its been in my yard now for a month. I bought some protective wrap and got that around the truck as our weather has become quite cold during the night, down to freezing or close to. I've also purchased a Burning Bush that arrived in perfect condition and larger than I was expecting. I loved the fact that you sent a packet of special vitamins and root booster for the bush and I truly believe it helped. Thank you so much and come spring I will be back for one more bush to plant next to the first one. Very impressed with how everything was packaged and shipped...with the heavy cardboard boxed. Again, thank you.

November 15, 2024

In spite of the best efforts of a professional gardener, these trees arrived sick and were soon dying.

Nice, Healthy Plant
November 15, 2024

I ordered a 7-gallon dwarf mugu pine shrub. It arrived quickly and well-packed. I planted it immediately, using the "Root Rocket" and "Planting Mix" I added to my order.
A little over a month later, the shrub appears quite viable, well-formed, and attractive.
I am very happy with the excellent quality of the plant and it compares very favorably with other mail-order plant purchases I've made.
(I don't necessarily recommend the "Planting Mix" as it is pricey, compared with similar products available locally.)

Great little tree.
November 15, 2024

Ordered this UGA orange tree. First tree didn't show. They sent a replacement which is a lovely little tree. Planted it in our cool greenhouse where it continues to thrive.

Great product. Good price. Excellent, timely delivery, but... I regret giving you my email as i ma inundated with emails, everyday! I'll likely have to unsubscribe as I don't need 203 emails a day about trees and shrubs.

I have ordered from Fast Growing Trees periodically over the last four years and have always received healthy and well maintained plants. They are carefully packaged and shipped. I have yet to utilize their one-year warranty program.

Disesese resistant American elms
November 15, 2024

These Princeton American elms arrived well packaged inadequate containers and were well hydrated, They have done well in my yard and will provide great shade for hot days. These trees have a beautiful form and should be widely used for their attractive appearance and needed climate control properties. They will grow to very high heights and have beautiful autumn coloration. They are a great and safe American native. Jed Morris

October Maple
November 15, 2024

This is my first purchase with Fast Growing Trees and I purchased an October Maple tree. It arrived as promised in good condition. I immediately planted it the day it arrived. It is doing good the leaves already changed due to the weather here. I will definitely order again from them. :)

Beautiful shrubs
November 15, 2024

My 6 2 gallon red twig dogwoods arrived on time and were beyond my expectations! They were healthy, taller than expected and beautiful! They were planted that day, were watered every other day for the first week and every 3 days after they are thriving. I can't wait to see how the shrub changes with the seasons!

Trees arrived in very good shape.
November 15, 2024

I am a former certified Nurseryman of Iowa, and long time landscaper/gardener. The trees were healthy, packed and shipped appropriately, and have put on new growth since planted. The price was fair considering the availability.

Glad I took the plunge
November 15, 2024

I was leery about purchasing online, and the price seemed to good to be true. I'm glad I did. The trees arrived beautifully, and they were carefully packaged. They have been in the ground for a while now and except for a few branches showing signs of stress, they are hardy and beautiful.

No support
November 15, 2024

I got three replacement trees from a second order, didn't know about the year warranty. Two of the three are pretty much dead. I reached out and spent weeks emailing back and forth to find out what I'm doing wrong and how to get my trees back. I was told the complete brown tree is not dead and I'd get an invoice to pay for shipping on replacements. Fast growing tree has stopped responding and only asked me to take a survey.
