Arrived As expected
December 15, 2025

The trees shipped separately with clear tracking information and were well packaged (for the most part), as they were 4-foot live trees. They are lovely, and I anticipate their successful growth.

Not quite there
December 15, 2025

All of the shopping experience was excellent until the plant arrived, and then, not excellent.
I intend to wait for a reasonable growing time before contacting customer service. Perhaps the plant will come back strong.

Unfortunately disappointing
December 14, 2025

I know not all of the problems were just from the company, a big problem was that it was delivered standing up crushing two of the trees. I did call to let them know that they were damaged to the point that there was only one branch left and they told me cut it all back and it should recover. That's fine but I'm paying for a 7 foot three and I'm basically starting with a 3 foot tree

Need a column evergreen
December 14, 2025

I have ordered trees from this company for years. My last two trees have died. Not sure they were insured or not. I hope this one lives. I have a spot next to my fireplace that gets hot in the late summer but in the spring it gets to wet from spring rain.

60 day guarantee not useful
December 14, 2025

My experience with ordering was excellent. My Anna apple tree arrived promptly in good condition. I followed planting guidelines and used the fertilizer that you recommended, but the real test will be how the tree weathers the winter. If it leafs out in the spring and produces at least a few blossoms I will be happy.

Confused
December 14, 2025

It seems like you receive a dead tree.But they don't explain to you when it needs to be planted or that it's just dormant. This information should be provided before you order the tree or bush.

Trees for planned forest garden
December 14, 2025

I feel trees by mail a great innovation saving time and money. All went well until last order in that I never got the extra trees under the BOGO offerings.

Very good service.
December 14, 2025

Trees arrive in good shape. Especially if ordered one at a time. A multiple tree ordered was not handled well by FedEx but that's not FG Trees fault.

I've had great experience with fast growing trees. Their customer service is wonderful and helpful. Even when the plants were damaged by shipment they were very helpful.

Good Place to Buy Plants
December 14, 2025
Updated review

FGT has a great selection at competitive prices. Do be sure to check everything before you order. My experience has been that the plants always seem smaller than advertised so check before you buy if size is important.

A Holly Bush Died
October 25, 2025
Previous review

I purchased a holly for my front yard. It was beautiful when I received it but probably because of the soil it died. Fast Growing Trees was wonderful about honoring there one year guarantee and after asking a few reasonable questions they issued a credit the same day.

Sickly and Deformed
December 14, 2025

Two of the trees had trunks that were curved in ways that made it impossible to prune for balanced growth. The leaves on all the trees had very thin slices in them. Maybe from a sickness.

Terrible policy
December 14, 2025

1 out of my 3 plants arrived dead. I am most dissatisfied with customer service. I went through the normal "contact form" they require 1 1 and received an email from Pam. She explained the warranty policy, but no replacement of the plant was available so store credit. I emailed back asking for a refund. No response from Pam. I called the main number 4 days later. The representative would only discuss their warranty policy or store credit and refuse refund when they are out of stock of the ordered plant. I was happy to have a replacement, which they did not have. Was going to purchase 3 more trees, but won't be doing business with them given their policy to not refund if a replacement is not available when plant arrives dead.

Plants broken and smushed
December 14, 2025

Probably a Fedex issue but my knock out rose had all but one stem broken. The stem has a few leaves on it so hoping for the best. The geraniums were smushed pretty bad. I have managed to get a few leaves to perk up. But now I have very small plant in 2 gal pot. Shipping box was all beat up. My previous orders of green giants all came in great condition.

Your chat box customer service people are obviously just reading info and come off pretty dumb. Have to make self clear multiple times. Pretty sure you shop them out to other countries and they are not experts at all!

Denied sale price
December 14, 2025

After placing several large orders over a couple months, I then ordered 5 of the 5 ft Carolina sapphire cypress at a great sale price. When I asked to repeat the identical order I was denied same sale price. You have lost a loyal customer.
