I tried Maples. They just dried up and became leafless sticks. Got those replaced through warranty. Talked with their expert about what would work. Got some northern red oaks that are suppose to grow anywhere in just about any condition. They lasted a bit longer than the maples but now the leaves are turning brown at the edges. Sigh.

Trees Dead
June 22, 2022

I ordered 5 Thuja Green Giants 5-6 ft cost each tree with extra for oversize transportation was $168.94. One tree died in the first week, there are others dying. I bought for $399.90 one-year guarantee. This is a con. Their guarantee means you can use it as a voucher to buy something else. DO NOT BUY trees from this company. They their policy and trees are lamentable. I will also be publishing this on every social media to warn others

Just ok
June 22, 2022

The website and information on plants is excellent. You can really find out a lot information on your specific zone and compatible plants. However, what I have come to realize, picking plants are like picking produce at the grocery store. I prefer to pick the plants myself. Unfortunately, you cannot do this with an online transaction.

We’re so sorry to hear how your plants arrive! It’s very common for plants that are shipped to arrive like this but they typically begin pushing out new growth in just a few weeks. Keep us posted and we’ll make it right if they do not bounce back!

Fast shipping
June 21, 2022

The shipping is fast and efficient and the packaging is secure. None of the plants arrived damaged. The only issue is that one of the plants is much smaller than the others and because they are all going next to each other there is definitely one that doesn't look like the rest.

So far, so good!
June 21, 2022

We bought 4 trees and some blueberry bushes and so far everything looks great! We've had them for about two weeks now and they look great! We will be back for more cherry trees and apple trees. We can't wait for them to mature by next spring. We bought the bigger ones so we can get fruit sooner.
Great company!

Can't ship larger trees
June 22, 2022

They tried twice but both arrived in Wisconsin with most of the leaves off the branches and many broken branches. Ordered 5-6 ft trees so I get the benefit of them sooner. Now it looks like it will still be years to get reestablished. One tree is a stick with a 90 degree branch sticking out at the top. Not really what you want. I've had success with FGT in the past but they really have to solve their shipping problem. Looking locally more now. Service was good and tried to solve the problem but to no avail. I can't think of wasting another tree on poor packaging.

Sick trees
June 22, 2022

Every time I have ordered my trees take five plus days to get to me. I got a pear tree and a cherry tree that are infested with bugs and quickly dying. My avacado tree has lost almost all of its leaves and is looking worse by the day. This is not my first poor experience and I will probably not be ordering from fast growing trees again.

Healthy Trees
June 21, 2022

I ordered two fruit trees and a plant and I was impressed with the quality and condition the plants arrived in. I live in South Carolina and my shipment arrived on a hot week in May. I'm sure the delivery truck was incredibly hot. The trees were packed well and lively, no wilting or signs of stress. They have been planted now for a month and they are doing great so far.
