Ordered 4 plants, got two, two were damaged in shipment. For a week there was no correspondence until I reached out. At that time I was told by customer service I couldn't get a 7 galling mugo pine and they could give me a refund because they couldn't get any more u gallon. Then I was contacted and told I could get one and a refund on one. Then I was called back and was told there were 7 galling and they. Oils be shipped right away. Then I was called and told they I could get them but it would be a few weeks. After no contact after several weeks, I called and was told the mutinies would ship that week and that I'd get a tracking number. When that didn't happen, I reached out again and was told that they would ship the next week. They showed up the day before I went on a week's vacation so I had to plant them that day in the rain.

Delay in shipping
October 11, 2025

I am in California and I ordered a tree. I was given a 2 week estimate on the shipping date, I waited well past that date.and contacted customer service to ask where is my tree?. I was informed that it had not shipped yet as they are waiting for their certificate or license to ship to California to be renewed and they don't know when it will be delivered. What? Why was I not emailed that there was a delay? …. So I canceled my order. The one positive I can say is that the customer service lady was very nice and apologetic and my refund was issued quickly, I do appreciate that. Overall,, my experience with fast growing trees was a waste of my time.

Broken branches
October 11, 2025

I ordered 8 bushes and 3 came with broken branches. This is not the quality I would have picked out or brought home from a local nursery. I'm disappointed.

My order [Order *******] has been delayed until late October. I have 2 issues: this tree was in memory of my late husband and the dedication was planned for October 12; this date was set after receiving an anticipated delivery date for the tree; when I ordered the tree I also anticipated being able to plant the tree early enough to settle into its new home before the end of the growing season and an expected harsh winter.

Reliable nursery
October 11, 2025

I am always happy with the plants that I order from Fast Growing Trees
I have a big lot and purchase shrubs, roses, or trees every spring and autumn for the last 6 years. The plants are always healthy and exactly as described. Importantly, you will get exactly what you ordered, no substitution or mistakes in processing orders.

Great selection
October 11, 2025

When I found the website from an add on Facebook I was skeptical. But, the selection was good and the prices were better than a local big box store.

Didn't receive ANYTHING
October 11, 2025

After waiting weeks for a specific fig tree, they cancelled my order abruptly saying I had cancelled it. When I inquired as to what happened, they said it was now a quality control issue. When asked what they would do about it for me, I was told I could buy a much more expensive tree or have nothing at all. That's when I decided this was NOT the company that needed my money. I took a chance on convenience and lost. I'll be buying local in the future.

Absolutely Awful
October 11, 2025

I ordered an Olive tree from you and received a branch in some dirt. It looked nothing like your website describes or resemble the pictures you have in any way. I emailed you and eventually you sent s replacement of the same exact thing! Now I have 2 branches with all the growth on only one side neither looks anything like you sold me! I'm beyond disappointed in your company, your product and deceptive ways and the way you handle complaints. This is utterly unacceptable to do business this way and I plan on publicly reviewing your company everywhere I can reflecting what happened. You are not a company people should be doing business with under these circumstances. Just an awful experience with a shady, deceptive business. Stay away from this business!

1 yr guarantee
October 11, 2025

Received my evergreen. Came with plastic bag over a very small ball for the root system. Planted and following all recommended instructions with soil watering etc. Emerald green started declining. Called and spoke with horticultural and was told to give it three weeks and call back with outcome. Evergreen continues to decline and is not going to make it.requested a refund and was given the run around and told me to wait for another 3 weeks. No improvement. IAM totally disappointed in the way this company. Was told they don't refund money and they would have to file a claim what ever that means. Point is don't do business with them as they do not honor the guarantee they promised. Very poor practices, but once they get your money you can kiss it goodbye 👋

Great experience!
October 11, 2025

Ordering was very easy. From placing my order to receiving my order was quick. The plant I ordered "Little John Bottlebrush" was in great condition, very healthy. I would definitely order from Fast Growing Trees again.

Excited to get my Thuja's
October 11, 2025

I ordered an evergreen (blue spruce) and it is great - but I ordered it too small - and that was totally on me for not paying attention to the size when I ordered.

Beautiful Tree
October 11, 2025

Your products are excellent. I've ordered trees and shrubs, and they always arrive quickly, are perfectly packed/secured, and prove to be healthy and flourish after planting. I'm always pleased with Fast Growing Tree experiences.

Extreme delay
October 11, 2025

This is my second experience with FGT. The first one went without a glitch. This second one, the tree shipment was delayed about 9 weeks, which means it was going to go past the freezing date for my location. I wanted the tree in the ground 5-6 weeks before the freeze date for it to settle before the winter. Now i have to wait until the spring, which means the hole in the ground is going to be there for about 8 or so months.

We received our 10 (6-7 foot) evergreens as scheduled, great tracking info. One tree was damaged when the pot broke loose in the box and broke the tree trunk. I contacted customer service, send some photos and in 3 days my replacement tree arrived. Impressive customer service! The trees are healthy looking and seem to be doing well. I also liked being able to order the trees in August but delay shipping until September- a better time to plant in my zone. Overall a very good experience, I would definitely order again from this company.
