Climbing hydrangea
July 26, 2022

I do love this site. There are many plants, trees, and shrubs to choose from. I do have a suggestion to link or offer additional information on the products. I am "landscaping" for the purpose of erosion control, privacy, and shade for summers 100-117F. I need root depth. My Nellie Stevens Hollies are beautiful BTW.

The trees I bought were great, but don't buy shrubs or plants from them. They were packed upside down relative to the tree they were boxed with, arrived broken off at the soil level, and I cannot get a response from them regarding refund or replacement. I have filled out their contact form multiple times, sent pictures, and all I get is silence. I won't buy anything else from them.

Tree arrived ok but top of tree was broken off so it would fit into box. Sent pictures as requested and never heard back. Tree is struggling but ok.

We conduct what is called central leader pruning. This promotes branching and establishes a healthy growth pattern. As the tree grows and develops, the same remains unaffected but you have stronger growth and better branching.

Still waiting for support
July 28, 2022

I ordered 2 Japanese maple, 3-4ft and 5-6ft sizes. They both arrived with very little foliage which left me concerned because I've seen photos from other customers that received theirs with plenty of foliage. Both trees arrived in the beginning of summer btw. I reached via the sites inquiry message board over a week ago and I've yet to receive a response. This tells me they don't prioritize this method of communication and I'll have to reach out via phone. So as of now, I'm neither satisfied or dissatisfied. I'll update my review once I know these trees are healthy and destined to live.

Poor Quality Lilacs
July 28, 2022

The shopping experience was good and so was the shipping times. The product itself was not great. I received 2 Lilac plants with significant browning on the leaves and some damage to one of the them either from shipping or when being packed. Both were relatively small for the pricing. I planted both and they are still surviving. I am hoping given they are hardy by nature and with my attention they will both survive. One seems to be doing better than the other, but overall I would not recommend this site due to my experience.

Order was seamless, but both trees didn't survive. Seems healthy when arrived and planted immediately. Watered minimum twice a day, but totally died in 2 weeks later.

Buyer Beware
July 28, 2022

I ordered a 5 gallon tree for $132 thinking I would receive a nice size tree (3-5 ft.). I received a 6 inch tree! When I called to tell them I was very dissatisfied with this tree they said that they would send a 3-5 foot tree as a replacement. Much to my dismay, I received another 6 inch tree. I would never order from this site and had I seen the tree in a nursery I would never have bought it - much less paid over $100 for it. Now I have two puny trees - who knows how long they will take to produce figs.

Great Company!
July 26, 2022

I had a problem with several orders being mishandled by the shipping company and the plants were damaged. Even though it was not the fault of Fast Growing Trees, because they package the plants very well, they replaced the damaged shipments twice! Amazing customer service!

Fantastic customer service
July 26, 2022

I bought a tree from them that I didn't think was going to make it, so I contacted them about the 30 day alive & thrive policy. I got a response first thing the next day, and after a couple quick email exchanges they noted my concerns on the issue and we decided to give it some more time. Well, the tree survived and is thriving so I didn't check back in, but they sure did. Probably three weeks later I got two emails checking back in and even a phone call to see if the tree needed replacement. I've never had a company pay so much attention to me. I turned around and placed an order for a different tree and plan on buying many more products from them.

I had to replace the original order as it did not take. They replaced it no questions asked, but were out of stock so refunded the difference for a smaller tree. I'm hoping this one takes.

What a Tree!

Easy to guide through... great pictures and detailed information about the plant(s). Could not believe how fast the tree and rose bush was delivered. It looks like my hybrid willow has grown a foot i just two weeks!
