I paid for a 3 gallon bush, so o could have something larger to start, buy received a small bush in a 3 gallon bucket.
Quick and easy experience, received in short amount of time and the packaging was excellent.
I ordered 2 citrus trees, one is thriving and happy, the 2nd is dead. 2.5 weeks and it gave up. I would love a replacement or to pay the difference and get another og my thriving tree.
We are so sorry that one of your trees didn’t make it! We have reached out privately to help!
Placed two orders. FedEx managed to lose majority of the first order. In the morning the tracking number still showed in the delivery truck on the way to deliver and then it disappeared and was never to be traced again! Granted it was not fast growing tree's fault. Fastgrowing was actually great in sending them again. However I bought 4 trees in total and 10 plants. One of the 4 trees (a cherry blossom tree) even though was around 6 ft that I ordered, the stem was so thin the tree cannot stand up straight. It curves half way and looks like it will break at any point. I bought a taller 6 ft tree with hope to get a stronger and more mature tree. All the other trees didn't have that problem. We planted them but not sure if that tree would survive.

Bought 10 green giants, 7 died in less than 30 days. I also bought the warranty with them. Fast growing trees never offered any explanation as to why they would not honor my purchase with 7 new trees. This place and sold warranty are a scam. I did All i was instructed to to pursue warranty and they only offered to replace 3 of the trees.
We're so sorry for your experience and it looks like the replacements are on their way!

Really got excited when I found fast growing trees. I ordered several blueberry bushes, cherry trees, pomegranate trees and overall have been extremely dissatisfied with the quality of the trees/bushes I received. It's been several weeks now since I transplanted them and have seen little to no growth from them. Each passing day, I find more leaves falling off them or dead branches and have struggled to wake them up. Hopefully they will turn around soon but as of right now. I don't feel it was worth the cost going through fast growing trees.

I ordered two plants on this order, a bay tree and Japanese pieris. While they appeared healthy, they were severely rootbound and I think the planting instructions are very vague when it comes to the more specialized plants. Adding a synopsis for specific care rather than general suggestions for " bushes and trees" would be very helpful. However, I purchase the insurance and have never had an issue submitting a claim and receiving my funds to repurchase a new plant.
When I bought my tree it was listed at 1-2 feet. I thought it would be twiggy and short. I was extremely surprised at the great shape it was in when I opened the box it was shipped in. The soil was moist and the tree was in excellent condition and much bigger and fuller than what I ever imagined. I planted it in a sunny spot in well conditioned soil - there were no signs of stress in the new environment. I am very happy with this purchase.
I received the Fuji Apple tree carefully packed, and instructions for planting were easy. So far the tree is thriving, and I continue to see growth on it daily.
The plants came a bit wilted but perked up quickly and are doing great. Customer service was great
Easy ordering, fast delivery and healthy plants. This is a great website
I ordered tree too celebrate my mothers life. It came a bit too early I thought. But the staff was very informative and reassuring. As it turned out after a full season it failed to thrive. The were very friendly and helpful and allowed me an exchange. I was thrilled and repurchased the Cherokee chief dogwood and it us thriving.!
The root ball was basically destroyed when i got it, I planted it and am hoping it finds a way to re-establish roots. After a couple weeks though most leaves are browning already... pretty disappointing but still maybe it will be okay?
Will update review if it lives
I purchased 5 plants. 2 were dead on arrival, the other three were wilted and browning. They immediately sent replacements for the 2 dead plants…. Which were in no better shape than the first two. The other three plants died within three weeks of planting. One star was for customer service which was actually very good, fast refund
We are so sorry that these plants did not travel well but glad we were able to make it right!
I ordered a banana tree. It showed up after 5 days in shipping really beat up. It hasn't come around. I got a message from your staff that I need to give it potassium which I did but the issue is really that I bought a tree that showed up really damaged and I am not happy about that. I hope it makes it but I don't think I will be purchasing here again based on my experience.
We're so sorry to hear how your tree arrived! Banana trees in particular are super fast growers and typically you can pull back any damaged leaves and new leaves will emerge within just a week or two. We'll reach back out to see how your tree is doing!
Bought insurance and couldn't get the same tree. But this one is doing well so far and was in much better condition.
I ordered 40 trees and Fedex messed up my dalivery so I contacted FastGrowingTrees and they immediately sent out new trees for me and have excellent costumer service! Very happy with my purchase!
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.
