We were in search of a company where we could buy a tree that would last of all time We were very excited when our beautiful. Orange Rose street came in and already had little buds ready to sprout. It came very well packaged and ready to go into the ground. It instantly started to Bloom and has been strong through the high winds and tough weather recently we are very satisfied.

Mixed feelings to
October 11, 2024

I have bought several varieties of plants from FGT. Unfortunately, on several occasions I have had to use their guarantees to replace plants that did not survive. They have always been prompt in replacing non survivors. The only problem is me, I have several problems with my health that severely limit my abilities to do the planting. No easy answers to how to change that. I recently purchased 3 of their fruit cocktail trees. 2 showed up in Avery timely manner, one showed up 5 days later. Not in good health. I planted it and am hoping it survived the winter. I expect I will again have to do a replacement next spring.

Normal 21 Royal Empress
October 11, 2024

Overall we are satisfied with the purchase. We've had the tree in the ground for about a month and it seems to have taken. Three leaves were broken when it arrived but four more remain and appear to have strengthened as the tree has acclimated to the soil. We will see how it goes over the winter and next spring. Although the height was five to six foot as ordered, the trunk is roughly only a half inch across which was much less than we anticipated for spending the extra for the taller tree.

Easy Peasy
October 11, 2024

Checked the trees available for my zone, ordered it, a couple days later it was here. Popped it in the prepared hole with the recommended soil mix. Couple days later there was new growth. I saw some leaf issues I was unfamiliar with so I sent a fwew pics to customer service, they promptly replied it was a normal transition. As of today I saw even more new growth! Very happy!

Not Even A Response!
October 11, 2024

I had written to FGT to inquire and state our opinion of their underhanded and unprofessional sales tactics, specifically offering a tree (hybrid poplar) for sale at $48.95 and then disclosing free shipping if you spend $49.00 (literally 5 pennies more!). We anticipated at least a template response, it instead no response at all, except for further emails promoting the same tree at the same price! We were ready to purchase this item, instead will by locally as the $19.00 shipping fee absorbs any financial advantage to ordering from this deceptive company.

Everything's Peachy!
October 11, 2024

We are pleased (very) with our experience thus far. Customer service was responsive, our two patio peach trees arrived in GREAT shape, and we are off on our first adventure of being amateur peach growers on our back deck. We were a bit concerned at first because every tree on this site seems to have a five-star rating (how is THAT possible?), and almost threw in the towel not wanting to spend $$ on a jacked-up rated website. Our landscaper encouraged us to give FGT a try for the enjoyment it would bring for the $200 expenditure. Of course, being on the East Coast, it was a unicorn hunt to find the best well draining, proven soil we could find this side of the Mississippi. We went with a cactus/succulent soil and it was extremely pricey - $18 for 4 qts (!) -- so that was another $200. (Thank goodness we already had two large 25 qt pots and river stone for additional drainage.) But so far, so good - the trees have been transplanted to pots, in very well draining soil, in the best full-sun location we have. They were wilty for the first day or so, then perked up, and sometimes we find them wilted at mid-day, only to look great again by dinner. And so - we're happy and having fun so far, and we are looking forward to watching them grow, bloom, yield fruit.
