Just the look that I wanted.
July 16, 2021

I was very skeptical as to how 4 to 5 foot starter trees will be packaged and shipped. I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! They came very well packaged and when I took the trees out of the box the soil was STILL MOIST. The leaves were healthy, green and vibrant. I cannot wait until next season to see if my Crape Myrtles were actually "FastGrowing." I will update a year from now 7/16/21

First tree looked horrible on arrival, and planted immediately, as directed. It did not last at all, died in days. Company would not issue a refund, only a store credit. Ordered another tree, not a replacement because they were out of them, but something else, and it never made it to me, the package was damaged in shipment. Had to reach out to company to get another tree, and asked that it be shipped June 28/29. Well, they forgot! So finally, they shipped out the tree, right before the July 4th weekend, so by the time I got the tree, the leaves had black spots all over them, and it died shortly after planting. I reached out to the company and no one has responded!

So far great experience
July 16, 2021

Bought 20 of the 1-2 ft green giants. Had about a 50% death rate due to the transit from SC to San Diego and the different climate and soil conditions here. FGT promptly replaced the dead trees. During that time a few more bit the dust but am waiting to see how the replacements thrive. The replacements looked to be more mature so I have high hopes for them, but time will tell on how they adapt. Looking forward to getting a "green wall" in a couple of years.

Damaged plant delivered
July 16, 2021

Showed up damaged, I sent pictures of it being damaged and told you about it and the answer I get is give it a few months and let us know if it is ok. Very bad customer service. Don't plan to buy from again.

Excellent Customer Service
July 16, 2021

I recently had to have an order turned around in mid shipping because I could not take delivery the week it was scheduled to arrive. The gentleman on the phone was more than accommodating and the problem was solved. I will never hesitate to call for assistance when I need it.

$#*!ty shipping
July 20, 2021

$7.99 for over sized shipping for each tree, and they put 2 trees in 1 box and that smashed the tops of both, and it was plain to see they tried to fold the elm tree 180 degrees to fit and realized it wouldn't work so they cut it to fit the box, they also cut the honey locust to fit? Very poor shipping but then fed x driver flips box end over end because he's in hurry and that hurt them even more, or is that supposed to help? Very $#*!ty experience will not ever order from this company again..

Japanese maple
July 15, 2021

Quick service but box was damaged upon arrival. Inspection found top 3 inches of the tree snapped off. I would have expected either a double walled box or a dowel or something inside the box to protect against this issue.

Very impressed
July 15, 2021

The two mullberry trees I ordered arrived quickly and in great shape. They are already growing new leaves and branches. The tri-volor Willow shrub, also arrived quickly and doing well.
I had ordered from STARK previously, and was greatly disappointed in shipping time and product quality. I will not order from them again. However, I will most definitely order from FastGrowingTrees again.
Thank you very much.

Disappointed in quality of plants
July 20, 2021

We ordered 4 hydrangeas that arrived in a terrible condition. The plant that they sent for replacement didn‘t look much better but at least we were able to plant them.
We're disappointed in the quality of plants and the quality of delivery.
