When I ordered my items, they showed shipping within 1 to 2 days. After 4 days, I called and was told my items should ship "within another day or two." Fast forward 3 more days and I did an online chat and was told that the items were on backorder, and shipping would occur in another 6 to 8 weeks. While I did get a simple apology during the chat, I immediately canceled. There was no indication that they would try to do better next time (or perhaps a store coupon, for my trouble), so I opted to order from another online plant/tree store.
No issues, warranty purchase recommended to relieve any apprehension / anxiety with online purchase.
Arrived promptly and in good shape. Growing fine. Will use these folks again.
One of the 2 trees I planted is not as vibrant as the other - waiting for final result!
Our 20 crape myrtle trees arrived safe & sound... looking beautiful. They are planted and they are growing so big very quickly. We are super pleased -as always- with FastGrowingTrees. Outstanding products & service!
Disappointed in the trees I got. Never tried online store for trees, but I'm not going to do that again.
We're so sorry to hear that your trees were not what you had expected! We are reaching out now to get some photos so we can see what you received and offer some assistance!
I ordered several bushes and a few varieties of trees and everything has taken root except two of the same trees, I'm afraid they did not survive since they look the exact same as the day they arrived.

Quick, very well packed, great prices. The best from all aspects
I ordered knockout roses and ornamental grasses. They came beautifully packaged, live, healthy and intact. Will order from again.
Received my package but the shippers stood it on end and the water drained out of one plant and the branches were broken on one side of the tree. Called the customer service and they were extremely helpful. Offered to replace it but I think I'm going to train it against a trellis. Nothing but good review one my treatment by the company
The plants were great, except for 1 out of the 11 I bought. That 1 was so small, it broke when I pulled it out of the pot. I planted the root anyway, hoping it will come back. Even if it does it will so much smaller that the other. Most of the plants already had blooms on them.

Just a "few" upgrades this spring. Everything looks great so far and delivery service was super fast and courteous.
These plants were wrecked when they were delivered. The blackberries are in terrible shape and I can't seem to revive it. Half of it arrived brown and dead and nothing new is growing. The strawberries in one pot were ok, but the other was cracked completely and I had to report it so it doesn't even hang anymore.
Trees were poor. Leaves were shredded and broken. Poorly packaged and now they are looking worse as leaves die back.

I was not expecting such a nice small tree, about 3' high. Being shipped we expected the tree to show stress form shipping. When it arrived it looked like it had just been put in the box. Would definitely buy from again.
My papaya tree came frozen and it's larger leaves all fell off. Presently it's a stick that appears to be trying to rebound. Not sure if it will make it. I will see in a week or so if it shoots out some leaves.
We're sorry to hear that your papaya isn’t doing well! We're reaching out privately to get some photos so we can get a better understanding of what may be going on!
Planted the cherry tree per instructions 2 weeks before Mothers Day. Tree has lost 1/2 of its leaves and looks pitiful... not what I expected... sent pics to FastGrowingTrees and they suggested scrapping the bark about 1 inch from ground to check color. Looked greenish to me, so time will tell if the tree survives..
We're so sorry to hear about the concerns with your tree! Shipping stress can cause plants to wilt and even drop leaves but typically make a full recovery! Please check back in with us over the next few weeks if the tree does not begin to recover
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.


We are so sorry that we weren't able to ship this tree! Unfortunately when dealing with Mother Nature, she can be unpredictable and our inventory just wasn't up to par to ship. We sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience!
