We recently made our first (and last) purchase with Fast Growing Trees. Our order was placed at the beginning of August and we are in October and have yet to receive all items. The order gave an estimated delivery date but then once we paid and received confirmation, we received notice that some items would not ship until late September or early October. We decided to wait. When the first shipment arrived, I was excited to unbox the nandinas and chokeberry plants and was disappointed. The nandinas were very small despite being in a 1 gallon pot (it was as though the plant size was supposed to be in a quart size pot but they planted it in a one gallon and charged more). The chokeberries were really sad. Single stemed, with a few leaves on them. The blueberry plant was as expected. A few weeks later, my lavendars arrived and one of the four was water logged, blackened, and it died within 2 days. I reached out to them for assistance and received my money back for dead plant and a discount on the nandinas which they said get cut back for shipping. The one Monsterra I purchased arrived in decent shape but was infested with bugs in the soil and it is slowly dying despite best efforts to keep it alive. Suffice it to say, I will not be ordering from them again. I'll find a local nursery and will spend less for a better product.
I placed an order at the beginning of August. The Willow Trees were delayed, I made arrangements for a crew to plant them, so I cancelled and purchased them locally. Then the 3 Altheas and 2 Snake plants were delayed. I waited, they were shipped, then lost in transit. I reached out 3x for an update or a refund. The plants never arrived and I the third time I received a refund. The Muskogee Crape Myrtle tree was all that was left. I was informed that unfortunately delivery is delayed until "sometime around the end of October". I'll let ya know how that one goes.
I wish I could buy all the fruit trees you have to offer, but some of them are a little pricey maybe you could have some sales on them. I would love to buy some fruit trees. I love your tech help as well.too
Purchased a 10 Pack of Giant Green Arborvitae (Thuja) and planted them 6 weeks ago. They are flourishing.
Buyer Beware. Shop removes the discount code. Shop walked up the price during checkout as well.
The tree arrived in beautiful shape. We have planted it and it is going well.
We order a redbud tree it came to us without any leaves stood behind product and sent us a mother one we planted and is doing well
Plant delivered safely and well packed. Planting instructions and purchased kit were detailed and used.
Planted approximately 6 weeks ago and is looking great!
Shipping has sometimes been problematic with orders getting lost in transit, but when we finally get the product, we've been very happy with the health and the liveliness of the plants we received. I ordered coconut trees and twice they got lost in transit. I also ordered a white Sycamore tree that has been doing absolutely beautifully!
I found this company online and it was a good experience dealing with them. They are very courteous and really care that your plants arrive quickly when shipped.
I ordered a wisteria tree because I love wisteria but don't like the vining variety. The tree arrived healthy and has grown fast as promised.
Hello: Yes I bought 2 weeping willows from you. The shipping dates were missed so trees unfortunately came too late in the season to get established. They now both have brown leaves and im afraid they are simply going to die. I explained about my strict shipping dates and you guys missed them... now... 200.00 later let's just see if you indeed insure what you sell. We are in the proper district for the trees so I'm surprised they seem to be failing. The only problem has been the late shipping dates. I'm bummed to say the least.
Thank you for your time

It took a long time to receive my tree and when I got it all the leaves were dry and the tree looks dead. I went ahead and planted it but I don't think it's going to make it. I'm very disappointed.
There was an error in my order. Didn't get the two rose bushes I ordered. But they made it right. Thanks FGTrees!
Plant arrived on the date requested and was in good shape. Fingers crossed for winter over,
Very pleased with my first delivery. I expect my new order to be just as nice n
Had a issue with the trees not being what I ordered but upon working with staff was able to get them replaced.
2 of the 3 I purchased are doing well. The third we are watching as it is struggling.
Trees are doing well so far but one came with some broke limbs which was disappointing.
We have ordered plants for our home as well as our daughter's. Most of the time the plants arrive ok. I do wish more effort was put in to stabilize the plants and or trees.
