I am so delighted with my order and pleased to have received it already
The tree arrived in great shape. It was a gift for my wife and she loved it
My trees came healthy and well packaged. I just planted them about 4 days ago more or less and they're doing great.
Received my banana tree and blueberry bush about a week ago. Both were pretty beat up out of the box, but I the banana tree was particularly bad. I was upset when I first open the box, but I know plants are resilient, so I went ahead and planted them both after taking a bunch of pictures of their condition out of the box. They both seem to be hanging in there and slowly coming back to life. We'll see how they look in a month, 6 months and a year from now.
One of the abocado trees had a broken trunk when received. I am guessing this occurred during transport. The 2nd avocado tree and the lime tree looked healthy. They have been replanted and Im keeping my fingers crossed they will grow.
They arrived as expected. There were no delays. I'm happy with the product.
First time ordering. Two palms came quickly and were healthy. I will definitely recommend FastGrowingTrees to others here!
I like FGT so far. 3 out of the 4 plants I ordered were in great shape... I am unsure why the 1 particular plant was so ill but i already contacted FGT and they are sending me replacement.
Thank you
If you don't mind waiting weeks for your order to arrive then buy from here! I ordered on May 8th and it still hasn't shipped (currently May 20th). Hopefully it gets here before June. Don't be mislead by the shipping times promised.
The lime tree withered. FedEx Tracking was inaccurate.
We hate hearing that your tree arrived in poor condition! We have reached out privately to help!
I submitted 2 reviews. Both submitted at the same time for the same order (I ordered 1 banana and 1 olive) that I had previously purchased. One was a good review the other was not a favorable review.
I went to check the reviews and I see that only the good review was posted. The negative review was suspiciously not added.
If you go on their site you see great review on their products. However if they are filtering out the 1/2/3 stars reviews that is not giving the consumer an accurate representation on their products.
I have placed several orders over the years there and my experience has always been positive. However I am disappointed to see this company filter out reviews for poor performing products.
I purchased several Holly Bushes and received them in April around the 10th I believe. They arruved nicely packaged I followed directions and within a week we had 7 inches of snow. All the leaves fell off and I have been nurturing them back its been almost 6 wweks and I see a few green leaves. I contacted customer service Racheal haa remained in contact with me. Very disappointed in the size of my holly bushes less than 1 foot tall. It will take forever for the 6 bushes to fill the landscape area. My friend bought Holly bushes at a local. Lowes department spent less money and hers arrived 3 feet by 2 feet wide.
Order 2 Asian pears trees 4-5 feet tall on 04/30/2020 received trees exactly 2 weeks later on May 14th 2020 which is really quick considering everything been been slow back up and affected by the covid-19.
Trees about 6 feet tall. With good system. The think I don't like is that they don't put tree in the bucket but in a burlap bag... and soil and roots been separated from each other. And possible will stress the trees if the shipping would been prolonged.
Any way I'm happy about the whole purchase. Trees already have nice small young buds and leaves on all over the trees.
Hope they will thriving good as soon as I put them on the ground.
Also they give you free shipping if you buy a certain amount.
Very satisfied. And if my trees make it on the ground I will come back for more trees
I spent $750 on 6 trees and had some issues with their plants, EXTREMELY difficult to communicate with them because they hide their phone number tight and ask to be communicated thru emails only. First some of the trees delivered unqualified condition, I paid higher prices for larger size trees but they sent small trees instead, this is definitely a business fraud. After days of communication with their associate THRU EMAIL, they offered discount and one replacement tree as the only option so I had to accept it, even thought I wanted to return all trees due to their dishonest business practices. Then my replacement tree never got sent out until I follow up again after 10days, which at same time I reported one tree was dead a week after it was received. Had to filed another claim, and asked for replacement tree, associate replied saying they were out of inventory for this Longan tree and offered store credit. I asked for full refund because I don't trust their quality and business reputation, and such difficulty on communicating with them, my email was ignored TOTALLY, no response at all! It is their problem to be out of inventory, why are you forcing your customer to purchase something else that they're not interested in and pay the shipping cost in additional, when I should be receiving either a free replacement tree or a full refund?
We're so sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience! Our customer service manager has resolved this issue and refunded the tree along with a discount on the rest of the order. We do apologize again and let us know if we can help with anything else!
Ordered few trees after 10 day no sign of shipping! Emailed and their response was they canceled my order they didn't have most of them! Of course they don't have a phone number to call so everything was through email. They Say they are a big company but no phone number to call. 3 weeks after they canceled my order I still haven't got my refunds. Don't wast your time buy your trees somewhere else.
We are reaching out privately to assist you further with this. We are terribly sorry that we did not have the plants that you ordered. Sometimes Mother Nature does not work in our favor!
Order was delivered to a wrong address, but it got delivered next day with item is missing. Tree arrived half death, skinny. Better off purchase it from Home Depot
We hate hearing that your tree arrived in poor shape! We have reached out privately to get some photos so we can assist you further with this.
I ordered three plants. The Meyer Lemon Tree is healthy and growing as is my Croton 'Petra' plant. However, the Laurel Bay Leaf plant arrived very dried out and stressed. Despite my best efforts to save it, it was dead within days. I reached out to them several times regarding this issue. They answered via email saying they were running behind because of demand. If I did not hear from anyone in several days, they told me to contact them again. I have three times. It has been over two weeks, and no response. Very disappointed as most of the reviews were favorable. I will not order from them again.
I ordered 2 3ft Kumquat trees from Fast growing trees and they "finally" arrived. They literally look like they have been pulled out of an old warehouse as they are very weak looking and beat up. They are very leggy and lanky looking like they have been stretching to reach the sun that just wasn't there. A 3ft tree should have more than 3 branches on it and the one only had 2 branches with few leaves - not happy. They will not answer the phones anymore as well due to the current events but they will take the $$ Go to Homedepot so you see what you are buying...
We're so sorry that your plants arrived in poor condition! It looks like we are waiting on photos and once we receive those we'll be happy to help!
Grabbed the tree by the fabric bag and trunk to pull out of the plastic bag. The fabric bag ripped and out came the dirt and roots. Tree was wilted before planting. Now leaves are yellow with mist if them already fallen off. Out of the 35+ trees I gave this was the only to wilt and loose all the leaves within a couple weeks.
We are so sorry that your plant didn't do well! It looks like our customer service team has been able to resolve this for you so hopefully it has helped improve your experience!
I lost my money! I placed an order for more than $600 and never got anything. I tried to contact them by phone or by email but I got no answer. This was more than a month ego so I am going to try to get my money back thru my bank.
We are showing both orders have since been delivered but we'll reach out privately to make sure!
We apologize for the long shipping times. Due to the current pandemic we have had to scale back to ensure safety during the busiest time of the year for us. We are working to fulfill orders as quickly as possible.
