Our little Crepe Myrtle tree came securely in a box and had no damage. On arrival we unpacked it and let it stand for a day. Placed in the ground and she's growing like crazy
Our cherry trees are doing great and we have high hopes for our peach trees!
Arrived in just a couple of days, well packaged and in excellent shape. Ordered 20 arborvitae, planted a couple of weeks ago and all remain healthy and looking good. Also noted at a great price.
The trees arrived in terrible shape. The dirt was completely out of the pots. One was completely dead and I couldn't even revival. Unfortunately the whole thing was just a real mess.
We're so sorry to hear how your plants arrived but glad we were able to make it right with a refund!
I purchased a 7-8' peach tree. When it arrived half of the limbs new growth and limbs them selves were dead. Wasn't expecting that. The 5-6' gala apple tree is coming back to life after a lot of attention. The red maple gift is half dead as well. But I think I can save it. Not really sure if I would purchase again. $300 is alot of money for 2 half dead trees.

We couldn't find any forsythia locally so went to fast growing trees website and they had them in stock at a reasonable price so we ordered 4. They arrived in 4 days, in excellent shape and healthy. We would definitely recommend them.
The order went smoothly from the first time I contacted Fast Growing Trees by phone. Very kind and helpful staff. The only glitch was my tree was shipped earlier than expected so ai had to so some quick planning, but I got the tree planted and it is doing very well so far!
All plants (arborvitae, roses, azaleas) arrived in excellent condition and are flourishing in their pots on my patio. Unfortunately getting them in the ground is delayed until I can get my little bit of land (poorly drained clay) prepared to give them a happy home. I'm hoping that will happen soon and they will still be thriving by the time they can be planted.
As soon as I received the box... I opened it and noticed all the leaves were brown and curled up... dry. I got it in the soil within the hour and watered it. It's been a week and I haven't noticed any new sprouts/leaves yet. It's been getting plenty of rain and sun.
I'm concerned it may not have survived the trip. Will continue to monitor it.
Regards
The quality of the product was great. Shipping was wonderful. The plants were safe and securely delivered
Bought 2 trees last summer. 1 of them did not make it through winter. They credited me back the price I paid for that tree and I was able to get another.
The tree (Flame Thrower Red Bud) arrived on time, in a tall box. Ok - I thought that was weird, a tree in a box. Given how skinny it was, I named it Tooth Pick Charlie (from the movie Some Like it Hot with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon). Seriously - the broom handle I used to stake it was thicker! I was skeptical as the root ball was pretty small. There were young leaves on the branches so I said encouraging things to the tree and planted it as directed. One month later Tooth Pick Charlie is THRIVING and producing all kinds of new, beautiful leaves. So have faith!
The tree arrived carefully packaged and looking quite healthy. I planted it the day after arrival, kept it regularly watered, and it seemed to thriving. But within two weeks, the leaves turned brown and are beginning to fall off. Looks like the tree is dying.
The customer service agent (Mandy?) that assisted me was very helpful. She was patient and knowledgeable which made my purchase a breeze.
Very good experience. Would order again.)*******0000
I had asked that the tree be sent on a certain date as I was away
Ti arrived early
The roots fell out of the bag when i opened it
The fertilizing materials are unarmed and confusing and I was apparently not given enough
I hope all goes well, but not too confident

When I received the plant it looks in good condition but some leaves had tiny holes. I was observing the plant these past weeks and new nice leaves are growing but also it looks like tiny holes are still showing in other leaves.
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.
