Great online shopping experience! Very nice pics, selections, and explanations of the plants. I love that they offer a variety of plant sizes, so that way I can purchase what I specifically need. Each and every tree that I've purchased came beautifully and securely wrapped. The trees came with great instructions and every single tree is already bearing fruit. I have lime, cara cara orange, gala apple and pink grapefruit trees. They are beautiful, very healthy and easy to grow. I purchased dwarf sized trees and are growing them in grow bags.
My Honeycrisp apple tree arrived in perfect condition. I like the size, it will become established much quicker than the other little tiny twigs I have bought online in the past. Very pleased with my purchase.
Fast Growing Trees, quickly said they would send out a replacement of the bottle palm damaged in transit.
Tree looks like it was in good shape. Planted it, but temperatures have not increased enough to leaf. It is a little early to ask for a review.
My lemon tree came on time and green and healthy looking. I do wish it had fruit or at least buds on it.
Meyer Lemon was 3' tall pencil thin with 12 leaves and no branches. 2 of the 12 leaves died in a few days. Avocado tree lost all but 4 leaves within a week and is now a 2' pencil thin twig with 4 leaves.
OK, hollies were kind of thin not full. Large gaps. Hope they fill in

Bought a Meyer lemon tree. Took over 2 weeks in shipping time to get here. By the time it arrived the tree was dead. Not in stasis but dead.

Plants were dead on arrival (rotted). Should take better care in shipping process. This is my second order to arrive in poor condition. They did replace dead plants, but I can no longer trust ordering from FGT.

Got my Cinnamon tree and Miracle Berry bush today. What a hot mess!
Both plants leaves are covered in powdery mildew from improper watering and not treating once the problem occurred. Now I have to treat all my exotics in my greenhouse to be proactive from infestation.
The cinnamon tree's top was cut off forever preventing a natural canopy look. I will have a tree with multiple tops at 4' making it top heavy and unnatural looking.
The $40 Miracle Berry bush is only about 18" tall, skinny, no bushiness. Worth no more than $20. Half it's leaves are healthy green and half are sickly lime green. The lime green are NOT new growth but full grown leaves.
Never expected to put out $250 for 2 sick plants. Utter disappointment. I shudder to think what the $150 Peanut Butter tree current in transit will look like upon arrival.
Mutilated, disease ridden, sickly plants! Never be ordering Fast Growing Trees again!
We're sorry to hear about the concerns with your plants! This is likely a calcium buildup from our watering system but we are reaching out to get some photos so we can assist you further!
Had some trouble with my trees dying during shipment. Customer service resolved quickly and easily.
I ordered a 4-5 foot lemon tree and what I received is a 4-5 foot VINE. If I had spent the same amount at a local nursery I would've received a 4-5 foot mature tree, but I went with this company instead because that nursery tends to have problems with bugs. What a joke. Feels like a complete scam and I'm so bummed.

Website says orders shipped 1-2 days. Received order confirmation but nothing more. They have my $$ but I don't know what's going on.
We're sorry for the delay in your order! It looks like you are in one of our colder growing zones so we have your order delayed for shipping until Spring. We have reached out privately!
All plants delivered on time. Plants arrived in excellent condition and packaged well.
Easy and uncomplicated. We've lost a few foundation plants in the arctic freezes that have hit Texas last year and this year. The 6ft grafted cherry tree arrived in dormancy. We've recently planted after the last round of freezes finished (fingers crossed). This specimen was stellar. A week in ground and it is alread coming out of dormancy. The grafted fruit tree will be bearing fruit THIS SEASON.
I ordered this a while back and have not received it.
We're sorry for the delay in your order! It looks like it has since been delivered so we've reached out privately to ensure all is well!
I have bought 4 orange trees and 1 olive tree this winter. All arrived in 2 days from shipment and have already starting growing. Two of the orange trees already have started blooming.
My order included several plants and they arrived quickly and were in great shape.
I order before and was pleased. Had a problem with one and they took care of it.
Very user friendly and informative for beginners! Trees arrive beautifully packaged and in great condition. I have had all of mine for at least two months and they are all surviving and thriving. Two Apple trees, three banana trees and 20 evergreens
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're sorry to hear about the concerns with your tree! It sounds like it has experienced some stress from shipping which will cause leaves to drop. The tree will recover and push out new growth within just a few weeks!
