I ordered ajuga, yew and barberry. We are still waiting to see if they will take off--planted two weeks ago. The ajuga was a little rootbound, but will keep watered and gave extra time to spreading the roots. The yew demonstrates new growth. The barberry arrived with shriveled ends--providing care and waiting to see if it will snap out of it.
I received a shipment of 5 trees. Two of them looked dead. I planted them anyway. Maybe one has a chance to survive. We will see. The second one is dead. I contacted fast growing trees via email and never got a response. Ok $150 down the drain. I ordered replacement from another company. Fast Growing trees company is disrespectful to their customers. Do not do any business with them.

We have purchased from FGT several times over the years and each time our plants/trees arrived healthy and in a timely manner. After planting, each plant/tree has thrived. Our most frequent purchase has been the double knockout roses, red, yellow, and most recently pink. The pink roses planted 2 weeks ago are already blooming, and the previous roses we purchased are full grown, resilient, and provide beautiful roses each year.
So far so good. My trees arrived in great shape. It was several days before I actually planted them. They are doing very well after planting!
I understand per the notice that came in the box that due to shipping and being in a dark box that the tree will loose its blooms and leaves but after much care the tree only has 3 blooms and 3 leaves... I am very concerned it will not survive... I submitted a concern after receiving the tree but didn't receive any feedback/comments only this survey.

All four of my hazelnut trees that I ordered arrived in horribly poor condition and have never recovered. What a waste of money and a waste of time. I'll never buy from this site again!

I purchased 4 ferns and. Pink Pom Pom. All four ferns were almost dead when they arrived and our poor tree looked pretty bad. We planted them, but I dont think three of the ferns are going to make it.

Little tree came in good condition and I have had it for about 2 weeks now. It was a little smaller than I thought it would be... but indeed... it is 2ft tall. I am not so sure I'll see oranges this year... but certainly hope that it grows well in the 15 gallon pot I am going to transplant it into.
When we first got them, didn't know what to think. Then we planted them and to our surprise they grew 6 inches in about 7 to 10 days! We are thrilled with them and can't wait to see them grow over our trellis. The rate that they are growing, it won't be long at all! Very satisfied!
Bought 4 trees, which arrived in two boxes. Upon immediate unpacking in pretty cool weather, two trees looked good and two had badly wilted leaves. I immediately watered and planted according to directions. The good looking trees appear to be getting established after a month. The two that arrived in bad shape never recovered. Leaves remained wilted and dropped. Trees appear dead. I called FGT, but no response. I must say that I am very pleased with the two trees that survived.

Plants shipped quickly and were healthy and packaged well. I found several varieties I could not find locally.
Great experience! Have ordered 3 times!
Received what I ordered in good shape and delivered promptly
Very knowledgeable customer. Service.
Fast shipping and nice tree
So far so good
Took way to long to receive my order site said 4 to 5 days took over a week
We are so very sorry for the amount of time it took for your order to arrive. Coming from Fort Mill, South Carolina to you in Idaho can take at least 4-5 days but we can not guarantee delivery dates just give our best estimate. If there is anything further We can do to help at all, please do not hesitate to make us aware. We would be more than happy to help in any way that we can!
Had some problems ordering online and called the 800 number. The rep helped me place my order and achieve free shipping for which I qualified. My tree and other products arrived without damage. I am very happy with the redbud tree I ordered and the tree is doing well after the first 3 weeks.
My Mom and I ordered this tree in memory of my Dad who passed on 5/17/20... I never considered ordering a tree online, but glad I did. It arrived promptly and in very good condition. Very happy customer.
Plant arrived dry dead so I was greatly dissatisfied with my experience with fast growing trees

Very fast shipping and the Thuja Giants that we ordered are doing well! The free lilac we received was a bonus!
The agent was very helpful, shipping came on time. The only thing some trees where packed together which caused damage. I thought it was strange since I was charged for additional oversized package. Anyway when I called and submitted the pictures I had no problem with reimbursement. Overall I think they are great company.
I have not received my shipment of trees yet! I will let you know when I get them.
We are sorry for the premature email! If you need anything at all, please make us aware. We would love to help!
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.
