It was very easy to order and I liked that the shipping was free and the tree had a one year guarantee.

Will not buy again.
April 30, 2022

Plants are smaller than expected and cost much more than you buy at the local stores plus you never know what shape it will be in since you cant see it.
Trees... they are the correct size and even though the site says the prune them, they over do the pruning. Only 2 out of my 6 trees I ordered survived since last year. A horticulturist told me that they are pruned too much plus the shock of being transplanted they are not surviving. I requested a pear tree I ordered NOT be pruned and they did not prune it and it is flourishing. I recently ordered a 2 in 1 apple a month ago and requested it not be pruned. I received it and it was over pruned again, with no growth and only twigs sticking out and it looks pretty much dead now. But I'll leave it planted and see if anything happens in a year. The peach tree, not pruned, that I bought to replace the dead one from FGT at the local store here is flourishing as well. FGT should limit the pruning cause they over do it to the point it kills the tree along with the shock of transport and transplant.

The tress is in bad shape
April 30, 2022

When I received the tree so many leaves are in bad shape and have spots on it. There possibly only 1 branch that is good looking. The tree that comes with it looks lot better then the one I bought. I'm not very satisfied with the product this time.

I've always loved plants and trees
April 30, 2022

I've always loved plants and trees It was my daughter's birthday and I ordered her an avocado tree. I ordered for myself a plum surprise. How exciting is it gonna be when those plums ripen. They were beautifully packed, and looked very healthy. They got to me very fast, and were here for my daughter's birthday. I will definitely purchase more trees from Fast Growing Trees

I ordered a tree and got a small stick with no roots. Still hasn't developed into anything after a couple of weeks.

Pink Brave Cherokee Dogwood

The tree came in very good condition, and carefully packed. It was without leaves when planted but now it's starting to grow leaves. It looks healthy.

Bought 3 maple trees last fall. They seem to have survived the winter. Shirt growing season here in Colorado so the buds are just getting ready to open but I think they are doing well.

Bought 16 little thujas recently and one was limp and mostly dead. The other 15 looked great though and I am getting them in the ground now. I have them facing north so it the don't thrive it will be the bad soil, the bad sun, the desert climate, and all that but I am going to be taking as good of care of them as I can and hope they stay alive

Nice Little Tree
April 29, 2022

Bought the 3 gallon tree and it was smaller than expected but it was pruned so no big deal. I think I will maybe have a few figs this fall time will tell. Now two weeks after planting the tree I have leaves coming out. I am happy with the tree. Time will tell.

Beautiful Loquat Tree
April 29, 2022

The replacement loquat tree is the healthiest tree that's ever been shipped to me. It's leaves are dark green and the roots are just perfect. I planted it in full sun and it's already growing new leaves on top.

Said he would pick the trees himself. Ordered 10 Thuja Green Giants. Hoping on the second order made a few days ago that these 20 trees are just as green. Would like to have spoken to him on the second order!

Ended Well
April 29, 2022

Three of the seven azaleas ordered were significantly damaged. That was the disappointing aspect and the reason for the lower rating. The good news is that I called customer service, texted pictures of the damaged bushes and he immediately processed replacements that were received in good shape and look very nice now planted.
