I've purchased all my palms, scrubs, fruit plants from this site and they all are thriving. The best part is having them delivered right to my door.
We bought two cherry trees at a cost of over $200.00. FastGrowingTrees ships by the slowest shipping imaginable: FedEx Ground. Carrier pigeon would have been quicker. It took10 days for them to get here. The trees arrived and they were literally cooked. Leaves black, brown and crispy. The leaves literally crumbled in your hand. Okay. Fine. We'll try again. They shipped two new trees. I expressed concern that IMHO shipping by FedEX Ground is THE WORST method of shipping in my experience, especially for something that is supposed to arrive ALIVE. FastGrowingTrees went ahead and used FedEX anyway, and guess what? 8 days later we received a similar issue. Albeit not as bad, but still bad. Once again the trees were cooked. They look really bad. We had hoped to get the trees in the ground while our landscaper is here finishing a project. Obviously that didn't happen. We did look around locally for Cherry trees and came up empty handed. I am going to do a wider search. I bought on-line because we simply do not have any extra time. I thought this would be convient. I am just unhappy that FastGrowingTrees could not or would not use a different shipping company. Finally, I learned a lession: NEVER, EVER buy live trees on-line. It's a waste of time and a cause of frustration. BTW, we did get a full refund, but this was a huge disappointment.
We have purchased several trees for this area we planted the trees and they have always died. The trees were purchased are doing very well. The arrived looking very healthy.
The tree was healthy and is happy in its new home. If FedEx had delivered where it was supposed to, the experience would have been perfect.
Love the website. I have always had great success w/ the products. However, I received a rose w my last order that did not appear to be in great shape when it arrived. But I have seen so many plants bounce back- it was not overly concerning. However, it has deteriorated very quickly and is dead or nearly dead. I wrote to them on May 30th and received the confirmation that my request was received- but I have still not heard back. All of the other plants that came in are doing great.
The ordering process was very easy and the trees arrived in perfect condition.
I recently moved homes and was unable to take my mature, established wisteria vine with me. So, I ordered this online to start a new one. I am still hopeful that this one will survive, but there's still no sign of any growth or potential blooms.
Package 1 of 2 was delivered on time and everything was fine. Box 2 of 2, which was loaded on the same day by fedex, wasn't delivered until two days later. Those two days or warehouse/truck/handling resulted in a completely dead strawberry plant and a dogwood tree that might not make it.
I spent hours looking at my local garden centers for lemon trees this spring and could not find any in stock. My sis recommended FGTs and I decided to shop here never buying plants/trees online. My 2 Meyer lemon trees and cold hardy avocado arrived looking so healthy and boxed amazingly well! I love my trees! It's opened up a new option for me when buying plants and trees. I love it!
Hard to leave a tree review this early, but we're almost 4 weeks in planting 20 Thuja Green Giants and 10 Baby Giants, and all are doing great so far. Some are taking more quickly than others, but none are dead. Hoping for the best long-term.
Luke was the best customer service specialist I have ever worked with. He was knowledgeable and patient providing me with information and techniques to care for my trees.
I got trees from you. One of them came broken. I sent the picture and I opened the claim. Few days later someone contacted me that they don't see the tree that was broken on the list. I sent again the prof of purchase and I never heard again from no one! Its been over month already.
We are so sorry that you are not receiving our email responses! We are going to reach out via phone!
The Merlot redbud tree was small, but very well packaged, very speedily shipped, and easy to plant.
I found the people helpful and courteous. Products shipped fast. Excellent customer service
Really good packaging, healthy looking trees, easy to follow instructions, good communication with sales rep. Thank you.
We are so sorry that your tree didn’t make it! We have reached out privately to help!
I had a tree that arrived damaged. They replaced it fast and it was in great condition. I appreciate the help and recommend them to everyone! That stand behind what they say and do. The plants come well packed and look good.
This is the second time I've ordered. My first 2 trees came packaged great, healthy, and are thriving a year later. Ordered a second time this year and highly recommend this company.
I have ordered two tree, and received one tree that I did not order. I call the FastGrowing Trees, the customer service lady is very friendly and courteous. She told me that they will correct that and send my original order out, and allow me to keep the tree for free( the one that I did not order). I love their services, and of course they have wonderful products.
Answer: Cancel your order now before it's too late, go to a local nursery and save yourself some money and unwarranted aggravation, these folks are not honorable.
Answer: I ordered 3 autumn blaze maples. They have been in the ground for 2 years now and have yet to turn red in the fall. I did some research and found that they only turn red if the temperature conditions are right. I live in Idaho and we basically skipped fall this year and went straight into winter. So once again the leaves just turned brown. I am hoping to finally get a display next year.
Answer: The same thing is happening to me. My tree died and they keep saying they're going to make good and nothing happens. Real crooks, this company.
