Burning bushes were packaged well, plants were healthy and instructions were clear.
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 near death. What I thought was going to be a 20# soil bag turned out to be 2#.
We're so sorry to hear how your plants arrived! We have sent a private message to get some photos so we can take a look and help out!
Exactly what I wanted - trees arrived quickly and in great condition.
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.
We're sorry to hear that your plant isn’t doing well! We're reaching out privately to get some photos so we can get a better understanding of what may be going on!
She came boxed really well and was very healthy. She even had a bloom already.
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!
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.

Healthy trees/great customer service. Tree damaged in shipping and they made it right. Very thankful! I have 3 others that are close to 30 feet tall!
My trees were perfectly packaged and delivered quickly and in good condition. Will purchase with FastGrowingTrees again.
I am so happy with my beautiful huge Norfolk Island Pine Tree from Fast Growing Trees. It's healthy and lush and huge! Just amazing so happy!
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.
So far the tree issue has been very good. Tree was packaged well to protect it from damage and looked healthy. Followed their steps for planting, easily understood, and it looks like everything it is growing well. Very happy with the outcome.
Ordered 4 bushes and two died after planting.
Ordered 4 Olive trees, two also died after planting. Will not order again!
We are so sorry that some of your plants didn’t make it! We have reached out privately to help!
Having issues with the care they were given shipping to us, in shock from being thrown around etc
Advised customer service and they are aware in case plants don't make it, thankfully working together to satisfy their customer!
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.
The tree and dog wood shrubs arrived very quickly. Package well and very healthy.
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.
Please reach out to us right away if any of your replacement plants arrive in poor condition and we'll be happy to help!
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.
