In the fall, either the packing or the shipping lodges a lot of the soil in the containers. Ends up roots and plant are out of their spot
Had to cancel an earlier order. Good customer service with refund. Reordered different tree great sale price. Tree was packaged well and great condition
I love my orange tree that I purchased. It's now taller than me and just a little over a year. I did produce oranges the first year, but unfortunately, they fell off, but the tree was still very young. All of the plants I have gotten from you guys have been so worth the money
I have ordered many times and the plants are always healthy. Plus speedy delivery in great packing. And they always help with any questions. You can't ask for more
I've always received great plants and any follow-up service I requested.
Selection is great, website is reasonably easy to navigate, I just wish y'all would automatically apply the discount codes you're already using to calculate the cart totals. Not doing so contributes to confusion as well as coming off as shady. Additionally, cutting down the included year long alive and thrive to 60 days makes sense (as I'm sure it cut into profits quite substantially), but it feels a bit disingenuous for fall plantings that will go dormant over winter.
Over the last three years I have purchased 56 trees all of which have been in excellent condition and have grown extremely well. This year I purchased 20 Leyland Cypress and 20 Green Giants for a site screen hedge. All of them arrived in fantastic shape healthy and well. Definitely recommend
Always good, healthy plants for a reasonable price. Plus they arrive at my door vs having to run all over rounding things up, loading, unloading, etc.
I've ordered 2 trees as well as a confederate jasmine from Fast Growing Trees over the past 4 years. All are still very healthy and thriving. Would not order plants online anywhere else.
Two plants were shipped while I was on vacation, even though I had called and they said they would delay shipment. Plants were mostly dead when I returned. They said they would replace.
The trees came in and 5 looked amazing and so far, are still doing well. 2 plants were bent at odd angles and one of those were pulled from the pot and had brown on it. I didn't want to say anything until I was sure that they wouldn't pull out of it but I did the scratch test and both have died. I do love the service and the trees that have survived look amazing so far. This is our second order from FGT and we really do like them.
I ordered 2 chocolate mimosas from you last spring. One of them died. I contacted customer service for help. They told me what to do to help it survive but it didn't work. I am replacing the tree with this order today.
The day my fig tree was to be delivered I was told it was being cancelled because it didn't meet the standards set. I couldve ordered from somewhere else had i been notified sooner. That order was placed weeks earlier. Now everyone is out of them.
Ordered 41 trees. 15 are dead and others dying. Followed watering instructions but didn't help. Reached out to customer service and haven't been contacted back.
I could not enter new billing or address information because the pop ups overlays other text and wont permit the entry, No issues with previous order. The Wisteria is still thriving.
Super easy to understand and order the plants you are looking for (plus they have a toll- free number in case you have questions or concerns.) My plants arrived healthy, quickly and packaged really well. I am very happy with my purchase.
The trees I have ordered in the past arrive in good shape and appear very healthy. One parcel was accidentally delivered to my elderly neighbor next door who rarely goes outside anymore. She did not know the parcel was sitting on her front porch for several days to a week. This was during a relatively warm time of year (in western Washington). When I finally received & opened the package, there was still plenty of moisture in the soil and root ball. And none of the leaves looked harmed or were yellowed by the lack of sunlight for a full week. Hearty stock!
Ordered a Pear tree. It arrived looking pretty scrawny but came back.
Still not producing fruit, but that may be a pollination thing as my neighbors Pear tree was taken by a storm.
We have had some issues getting certain things to grow. Montana has many micro climates and understanding exactly where we fall has involved some trial and error. FGT has always made it right! I'm said to see the 1-year alive and thrive guarantee has been dropped to a 60-day instead, though.
I contacted organization twice regarding my order- the size of trees and the over priced charge I paid! No answer to my questions!
We were so excited when we received our tree only to find out that the top of the tree was chopped off for shipping. We had hoped it would still thrive but instead it has rotted from the top going down. It wont make it through the winter.
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.
