Elvis who handled my order was a pleasure to deal with and made sure I was satisfied with my order.
I ordered a Dogwood, Azalea, and Tulip Poplar and received a free Japanese Maple as part of their promotion. I was home when FedEx delivered the box and opened it within the hour. All the dirt/soil was dry and hot. All four items were smooshed in one box. I believe the smaller items were injured by the larger ones. The Tulip Poplar was snapped/broken so I lost about 18 inches of growth. The Japanese Maple's leaves were dry and crunchy. It looked mostly like a long twig with some dead leaves on it. The Azalea lost a lot of branches. I had such high hopes but was severely disappointed.
I love the ease of shopping for things online and finding exactly what I want – often shopping in a store in limited and have to settle because it's all that's available. So, I made an assumption that this could be that simple... it wasn't.
After spending roughly 8 days in a box, in various vehicles the four plants arrived. Everyone of them had extreme trauma. All of them had fallen out of the containers, dirt loose in a bag and the roots dry and exposed.
Stems were broken, leaves were wilted and some had already turned brown.
Officially - they are all still alive. We water them and care for them 2-3x/day. But they look terrible, many leaves are now black, and totally dead. Some parts of the plants are ok, some parts are droopy. Instead of getting a local plant that could thrive over the summer we have plants that will not really be doing well until next season if they make it.
In short, I'd never take the chance again. I'll buy local / drivable.
Found B B shortly after building new home on barren lot. Things are now envy
On my street, the variety and the quality have just been what one expects but seldom finds. Thank you BRIGHTER BLOOMS. I am not finished yet, probably will never be but what.
The two trees that I ordered were delivered on time by FedEx. One of the trees was a little beat up during the transport but considering the means of transport I guess one should expect some damage. Overall I'm very pleased with Fast Growing Trees!
We apologize for your experience! Because we are shipping live plants, we advise against returning them. The time spent shipping to and from the customer will severely weaken or kill the plants. Because of this we do charge a restocking fee if you decide not to accept the delivery.
I ordered 4 one gallon pots on 2 orders@ 39.95/pot I received quart pots you sell for $24.95/pot 2 were dead the other 6 look very bad.
We're so sorry for how your plants arrived! We have some replacements on their way!
We asked about the 5 gal size tree before ordering and when the tree arrived it was much smaller than described. It was shipped later than expected and arrived damaged. We reported this to customer service and were very disappointed in their response. We will not recommend fast growing trees to anyone and will not order again. Very disappointing experience.
We are so sorry that this was not handled properly and that your plant was not satisfactory! We have a replacement on its way!
Tree is dying slowly. Seems like it never had a chance. I have nearly 40 plants, haven't lost one yet. This will be the first to die.
Pretty disappointed in my purchase
We're sorry to hear that your tree is struggling! We're reaching out privately to get some photos so we can get a better understanding of what may be going on!
I got dozens of emails before my order even arrived. I reset my preferences to get email once a month, but the emails continued to come. Then I unsubscribed and they still continued to come. At least daily. I unsubscribed again and they finally stopped. Spamming new customers with a flood of emails is not a way to make a good impression.
We are so sorry to hear this! Thank you for the feedback!
Received my Plumeria tree and 3 plants. All but one looked destroyed. Customer service was great with advice and why they looked dead. Now it's a wait and see process.
The plants are always better than what you expect. They're packaged well, arrive in great condition, and are already thriving.
4 of the 10 Pencil scrubs are not doing well even though they are planted next to each other in the same soil and watered the same way. The leaves are drying up and are stiff to touch and falling.

I was blown away with everything -- packaging, receipt and the TREES! FastGrowingTrees will be my go to from now on without hesitation. Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic!
When I called they we're very helpful and answered all my questions. I received my Nallie Hollys and I was very pleased with how they we're shipped and looked. I've planted them and they look awesome.
I bought a peach tree, delivered fast, packaged w/ care and tree is healthy and thriving. I'm so happy.
In the past I bought bare-root trees and I'm happy with those but I wanted a tree that wasn't a bare root and grown a bit.
You'll be very happy with your purchase.
I also bought another fruit tree (Asian pear tree) it's being delivered in couple days,
We were very happy with the trees we received. We had ordered 38 Green Giant Thuja's. Was impressed how healthy the trees were. We did have an issue with shipping which was due to FedEx misplacing 4 trees. When we received them we then planted, but due to the delay they didn't seem to be doing so well. Contacted Fast Growing Trees and without hesitation they replaced the 4 Trees. Can't ask for anything more than that. Great Customer Service as well. I have no hesitation in recommending Fast Growing Trees.
First tree arrived broken and dried
Second replacement tree quite tiny and dry
Should have purchased elsewhere for 1/3 the price
Definitely poor purchase
We're so sorry to hear how your replacement arrived! We have sent a private message to get some photos so we can take a look and help out!
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.


We're so sorry that your plants didn't travel well! Typically they do recover after just a couple of weeks so keep us posted so we can cover them for you!
