Terrific service! I ordered 2 Emperor Japanese Maple trees and they came in great conditions, well-packed and within the timeline advertised. I love trees and ordered two more just tonight on 9/19/25! This would be my go-to place for plant and tree purchases! Thank you!
My previous experience was great. The plants were healthy and packed extremely well
I really appreciated the selection and diversity of the inventory but the cost would be high even if the many plants I got actually wasn't trashed in shipping and also survived. A few made it and are thriving, but many have died off. Went to a local garden supplier and got twice as much for the same rate and didn't have any issue with damage from shipping.
Fast shipping, healthy tree, careful shipping and packing. Getting more!
Rather than offering the guarantee on a large order, I was offered pay $500 for a $2000 guarantee. The whole thing, while intended as a courtesy, did not strike me as generous.
I have ordered lots of trees and plants over several years. I have always had a good experience.
I've been purchasing plants from FGT for 3 years. On occasion, I've received a plant that didn't do well during the shipping process, FGT has replaced the damaged plant. Can't say enough good things.
Very pleased with our entire experience with your company including one year warranty replacement.
Some of the trees I planted in the Spring are doing well, but I had two die, and one threatened to die.
I ordered several fruit bushes before and I'm satisfied
It is easy to search by state to ensure the plant or tree will thrive in your area. The selection is great. My trees arrived well packaged and alive.
Very accommodating and helpful when I had to replace a dead fruit tree
Very professional and kind. Quick to reply and help!
I've always ordered all my fruit trees from Fast Growing Trees and they always arrive healthy & beautiful.
We have ordered many different plants from this company and all arrived in great condition. They are thriving in our Florida garden.
Every plant I have ordered in the past from Fast Growing Trees has been a very pleasant surprise in several ways. First, the plants arrived quickly, second they were packed very well, and third, they have thrived and are doing beautifully. I ordered a River Birch 2 years ago, and it was almost 7' tall when it arrived. It is now almost 20' tall. I have a weeping Redbud from them that is also doing very well.
My 3 gallon and 1 gallon trees were less than impressive. I also ordered the same 3 gallon tree from a different company and my experience was the opposite. My tree was vibrant and lively. My trees from FGT had scorched leaves and was half the height of the tree from the other company.
Shipping problematic. UPS can find my house, but Fedex can't. Drivers usually don't receive the Gate Code: 1562#.
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.
