Superurb Shop!
February 18, 2022

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.

Great expectations
February 18, 2022

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.

Planted it
February 18, 2022

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.

Lemon tree

My lemon tree came on time and green and healthy looking. I do wish it had fruit or at least buds on it.

3 ft pencil thin twig
February 18, 2022

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.

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!

Lemon tree was a lemon
February 18, 2022

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.

DOA
February 18, 2022

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.

Mutilated, diseased, half dead
February 18, 2022

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!

TINY trees!
February 18, 2022

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.

Worth Every Penny
February 17, 2022

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.
