I ordered a philodendron. It came very full and quite happy. Just saw one yesterday at a nursery for four times the price and not as full. Amazing. Thank you.
It took 8 days for the plants to arrive in box, they were dead, and the replacements weren't much better
I ordered a berry bush from FGT as a birthday gift. The product arrived in terrible condition a day later than promised and dry as a bone. I contacted customer service with a lengthy description and photos and never heard back. Needless to say I will not be ordering from FGT again.
It arrived. Looks more like a bush? We haven't planted it yet because of the heat. Don't know if we should pull off the 3 figs on it ot leave them. There are buds popping out. Anxious to see hoe it goes!
Tree arrived in poor condition, still not looking healthy after two weeks.
The tree came quickly and in great condition. I'm looking forward to having fresh peaches from my own tree.
When the tree arrived 1/2 of the root ball was completely dry and the leaves were falling off. It lost most of the leaves. Some of the branches are still pliable so I am keeping it watered well in hopes some leaves will grow. It was a very hot time of year.
Both the plumeria and blue java banana tree I ordered arrived in great shape and were larger than expected. It's been a few weeks since I planted them and they're both thriving!
I have 26 indoor plants…I added a rattlesnake plant to my collection. Purchased from FAST GROWING TREES…I love the plant…
The tree arrived in excellent condition. The box and packaging made sure that I received a healthy plant. I have repotted into a larger pot as a stepping stone to going in the ground.
Half the leaves were wilted when I opened the box. I planted it right away and after about 2 weeks all the leaves fell off. A few new leaves started growing again so I'll see what happens.
So far great!, hopefully will continue and the winter is not too cold
I bought something like 8 arbor vitae trees last year, put them in the ground all of them died over the winter. I also bought 2 apple trees and a cherry tree. Cherry tree died. Just recently bought a blueberry bush and raspberry bush. The blueberry is alive several weeks later, which is good. But I had a I do some recovery on the raspberry. Arrived in terrible shape. Have pictures as support. Looks like a dirty salad, wilted.
Spent about $350-400 company. I'm done. I'll just go local.

My tree arrived very healthy. I planted it a few days later. It's only been a couple of weeks, but it looks very good!
I have made 2 separate tree purchases through Fast Growing Trees and could not be more satisfied. The first tree arrived in fine shape and took to planting beautifully. The second tree I purchased a month or so later. There was a problem at the transportation companies warehouse which held up my delivery. The delivery was delayed by approximately 1 1/2 weeks, in summer weather. I emailed Fast Growing Trees as I was concerned about the health of my tree in transit so much longer than expected. They contacted the transport company and got right back to me with a response. They assured me the tree would be replaced if needed. The tree arrived in very sad shape. I sent pictures to Fast Growing Trees. They encouraged me to plant the tree and give it some time to come back. It did not recover and in fact got worse over the next 2 weeks. I once again contacted Fast Growing Trees and they sent me a replacement tree immediately. It arrived in much better shape and is very happy in my backyard. I would have no qualms about ordering any plantings or trees from this company in the future. Friendly, speedy, responsible customer service.
Arrived in great shape and is thriving. I'm thoroughly happy with this tree.
I'm a passionate gardener and frequent my local nurseries often, just to window shop. I was very skeptical that a tree delivered from a long distance, in a box, and traveling over the course of a couple of days would be in even acceptable condition.
Wow! Was I pleasantly surprised! My little dogwood, currently unobtainable around where I live, arrived in perfect condition. Perfect. I removed it and allowed it to unfold from its relatively tight confines of the box, watered it and planted it two days later. It's thriving in its new home.
What an easy, efficient and pleasurable way to buy a tree. And how disappointing that my teeny, tiny yard cannot accommodate more. But, I can always browse -- and dream another garden -- can't I?
I've purchased from online nurseries before, and the experience was less than ideal with trees taking forever to get here in the heat, delivered separately because UPS accidently split up the shipping, etc. These trees shipped fast and got here in great condition, which was a welcome surprise. I had to call customer service about a coupon code and was happy reach someone who helped me right away. She also explained the warranty in detail. I'm really happy with this experience.
Shipping was prompt, packaging good. But the product I purchased—fertilizer/plant food kit for citrus trees—had confusing instructions printed on package. Some components were not labeled, and some packets contained less liquid than listed on label.
Someone always answered the phone right away. The product exceeded my anticipations/expectations. I had no idea what to expect ordering a tree online! Packaging was perfect. The tree looks great. I just need to get back on the website and figure out how to care for it before it gets put in the ground a week from today for a baby blessing.
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.
