Order was stuck at FedEx, undeliverable. FedEx was NO help whatsoever, they promised to call back but didn't. I called FastGrowingTrees - that person was extremely polite and helpful. She sent a 2nd shipment which weighed twice as much - leading me to believe 1st shipment only had 1 tree instead of 2.2nd shipment made it to me. Middle of box about to give away. Box needs to be much stronger, either need wood support or much thicker, durable cardboard. 1 tree worth the price, other tree questionable. Both healthy but that other tree is much smaller, thinner. $10 for 2 oz of root rocket seems excessive.

Plants arrived dead-on-arrival
September 17, 2021

I splurged on a Ficus tree - around $120 (can't remember exactly) and it arrived dead. I contacted CS and was told to plant it and try to revive it for 2 weeks. I tried for 3-4 weeks, it didn't make it. So. I had to pay another $15 for shipping for a replacement, which also arrived dead. I'm not even bothering to replace it - i'd rather cut my ties and give up now. BUT i will never make another purchase from you - it's not even worth it.

We're so sorry to hear how your tree arrived! Shipping stress can cause plants to drop leaves but almost always make a full recovery! Being that we are plant people, we always like to ask our customers to give the plants a chance and not to give up on them too early. We're going to reach out and see what we can do to make this right!

I am pretty sad that one of the raspberry plants is dying and the other is half dead. Very expensive for what I got.

Satisfied Customer
August 17, 2021

This is the second time I purchase from Fast Growing Trees. This second time around I was trying to purchase a couple of Lemon Trees but every time I went to checkout I'd get a note stating that items couldn't be shipped to Georgia. So I finally called and a representative advise me that the State of Georgia had a ban on any Citrus trees entering the State. Very helpful folks!

Meh
August 18, 2021

If I had seen these plants in person, I would have passed. Two were very small and the bigger ones all had some degree of damage. All the leaves are falling off my olive tree. Hoping to nurse them into something.

Shipping
August 17, 2021

Tree was shipped fast, but it was held up somewhere by FedEx causing a4 day delay. Temps were in triple digits and tree was delivered with all existing leaves black and dead. Still planted tree immediately and fortunately new leaves have started to grow.

Packaging very good
August 16, 2021

Ordered a Redbud. Packaging was good. But the leaves looked bruised. Plant was healthy otherwise and do not suspect we will have a problem.
Honestly not sure if occured during shipping as it was very tightly packed.

Dead Plants
August 18, 2021

Two of the three plants I bought died within days of arrival. I paid for the warranty so I was given a credit, but since they do not refund I have to place another order with them. I hope it goes better next time.
