The shipment was received terribly damaged. The was no protective packing materials inside the carton. The Plants and their containers were crushed and upside down. Although I sent pictures and emails it took 3 weeks for the company to even acknowledge or respond to me. Soil was spilled out of the bags. Terrible customer service. Inept shipping department. We threw way 3 plants and the others all had most of their leaves broken off inside the master carton.

Our first order was two Lapins Cherry trees and the second Hosui Asian Pear tree and a Harvester Peach tree. Shipping delay on the second order, but after planting they seem to be adjusting well. However, one of the cherry trees lost all leaves and does not look healthy at all and the other doing great. Will be following up on the one tree.

Rose bush order
May 19, 2021

Read all the glowing recommendations and thought I'd give them a try by ordering 8 rose bushes.

The way the bushes were loaded with 2 per box (what may have been secured during initial packaging) with the plants facing each other is a bad idea. They really should have put some plastic dome over each bush. During transport and handling the plastic pots came unsecured and crushed/broke almost all of the rose bush stems (all 8 suffered damage).

Fortunately, they had good roots and enough unbroken smaller branches, that when planted and watered well, seem to be coming back with good growth.

Really need to look into something like a plastic dome cover on each base and better "fragile/handle with care" signage on outside of card board packaging.

I expected a more filled out pear and lemon tree, but the pear tree was just a stick with a few leaves on it and the patio lemon tree was very small with 3 tiny green lemons on it.

I made simultaneous large purchases from FastGrowingTrees.com and TheTreeCenter.com. Many items from FGT arrived damaged, lots of broken branches, and just overall looking sickly, while all items I got from TTC looked amazing and well packaged with very minimal leaf loss or branch damage.

Good packaging, poor product
May 20, 2021

The product arrived on time, but the product was nothing like what you view in the adds. The trees are more like wild weeds they dug out the field and shipped. One of the trees still don't have any buds or leaf's.

I ordered three blueberry plants and some solid and root growth and when my package arrived I had four packages of the root growth stuff only two packages of organic soil and a Bob Ross planter no blueberry plants which struck me as odd I called right away and two weeks later I got three blueberry plants not sure why the invoice said I should have gotten them but we're not in the package so my feeling is I am not happy with how your shipping works and my not buy again...

Not happy with the quality of plants - even the ones we received for the replacement of the old ones are not good!

Size of the plant
May 18, 2021

I was disappointed in the size of the plant that I received, it was quite small. They should do a better job of explaining what it means when you order a plant, or give a better description of the size of the plant you will get.

I ordered to Areca palms for our office, from the online description it seemed they would do well in an indoor setting with minimal, but not direct light from a nearby window. After a week the palms began yellowing and leaving turning brown and crumpling. I called customer service and they were very helpful and kind and they made some suggestions of things to try. So we will see if they work and if I am able to get a refund if need be after the 30 days like they said I could.

Endless spam. I was happy I found trees I wanted, but a month later I regret I bought anything from this company. They are like crying babies, take way too much of my attention with their endless spam.

Spring or not!
May 18, 2021

The three blackberries are doing good and the two hanging baskets of strawberries are doing well, but the apricot tree is not. All the leaves have fallen off and nothing has grown since the tree seems to be alive still but not sure, it has been over a month now and she just sits there like she can't make up her mind if she is alive or dead.

Expected better
May 18, 2021

Ordered 3 trees, all arrived in soil wrapped in a burlap sack, soil was loose in all sacks. One tree in fair condition and looks like it may make it, one is struggling with only a few leaves left on it, and one looks like it has died, but I have not give up on it yet. Spent good money hoping I could get some good trees that would plant and catch good.
