I was excited to get the forest pansy redbud. I ordered the 6-foot one. It was about that tall, but was about as thick as my pinky and pretty flimsy, and it had no branch structure except for a few twiggy branches, some of which had broken before/during shipping. The bark is very young and soft. Upon review I saw that the main stem was grafted onto a more established rootstock. I suppose that's the only way to ship a 6' tall tree, but I was hoping and expecting for something better. Worse, when I visited a local nursery a couple days after receiving my tree, I saw one about the same height for the same price, and it had natural growth and strong bark. It also looked like a nicely structured tree. Needless to say, I regretted buying online. I did not know forest pansy was so available in my area. My tree may end up doing fine, but it'll take a while before it looks good.
Arrived on time and looking healthy! So far so good!
I had ordered a tree as a gift, which turned out to not work best with that climate. Darren (Todd) was super helpful and courteous in hearing out my concerns and went above and beyond to issue a refund. Definitely recommend this place.
Some of the plants I got looked good, however the ferns looked like they pulled them out of a dumpster and boxes them up to ship. Did not travel well. Dried out and beat up. I only planted 7 of 8 but I'm not confident that all will survive. I did purchase the insurance so we'll see what they look like in the spring
I was amazed first at how easy it was to find what I was looking for, and second on quick my order arrive and in great condition. The packaging was outstanding. On top of that, I had 7 figs in the growing process, my first crop.
So far I am extremely happy with my purchase of fruit trees and bushes. We'll see in a year if they are thriving! Can't wait.
Trees arrived in great condition, I'm very impressed with your packing technique. Will be ordering again.
Ordered ten 6-7ft Newport plums and planted as soon as they arrived following the instructions. Two died within a few days of being planted, and three more died within two weeks. I did everything I could, and eventually pulled the dead twigs out to see that BrighterBlooms/FastGrowingTrees had harshly cut the main tree roots within inches of the trunk to fit the shipping container -- see the picture. These trees did not stand a chance. I notified them of this by email with detailed photos and asked that they honor the guarantee. They replied quickly by email saying they are only sending me three replacement trees, no explanation why only 3 and not 5. For $170/tree, I expected better quality and guarantee.
I have ordered from other gardening sources in the past, but Fast Growing Trees shipping and packaging surpassed my expectations. Plants arrived perfect and were not at all in shock upon delivery. Ready to plant and when full grown, will be a nice statement in my yard. Pleased and will purchase from again.
I've previously purchased an apple tree (5 in 1). And was expecting to have the same experience when I purchased my 2 in 1 peach tree. But that wasn't the case. I understand that when we are purchasing the tree, we don't know what we are going to get. With the apple tree, I didn't know what I was getting but when the tree arrived. I knew what I got because the grafts where labeled. That wasn't the case with my peach tree. The label only read "surprised 2 in 1". So now I'm stuck with a peach tree which I have no idea what type of peaches I'm going to be getting. Customer service said that because the grower failed to label them and instead of losing on those trees. They lowered the price (by only $20) to be able to sell it. I don't think $20 justifies them sending me a tree with " surprise peaches". I wish that someone from their customer service would have contacted me to let me know that these trees were not label and let me decide if I wanted to move forward with the purchase. One again, I am stuck with a tree which peach variety I won't know until it fruits. Which can be a year or more from now.
I ordered 3 trees in the 5-6' category. The trees shipped in two boxes very quickly but got separated en route. Second box came the day after the first one was delivered. Some of the nicest trees I have purchased online and I have ordered from several different nurseries through the years. I followed the planting instructions and they are in the ground and looking great so far.
I Planted my double knockout rose bush in the Spring, and it looks beautiful in the Fall. I am very satisfied with Fast Growing Trees.
They did a great job, on time and as expected. Had an issue with the address and they corrected it right away. I would recommend this company to anyone!
The first tree came a bit past tranfer shock and may recover so they shipped a beautiful healthy replacement quite quickly.
Fedex delivered the trees and stood the box upright which caused them to break, isent a picture and told fast growing and they replaced at no charge... YEA!
We ordered 11 trees and some fertilizer. We never received the fertilizer and the contractor planted the trees without it. Also, we ordered two more trees. They sent the incorrect size. We had a delay in shipping. The whole experience was a total nightmare. I little compensation was given, but not nearly enough...
My trees came carefully packaged and ready to plant. They were in great shape! I was worried about the shipping process since I had never ordered something like this. They are healthy and doing well, the leaves have already changed with the fall colors! Just beautiful!
It was a gift to my daughter in Florida and she is very happy with it.
Growing well since planted, no problems so far time will tell
Well packaged and the size and shape of the tree was even better than I hoped for.
