“Excellent”

My plant was packaged professionally, the plant/tree looked beautiful right out of the box. It continued to grow once put into the grown, no set back or shock. I am always satisfied when purchasing from this company.

Top Critical Review

“A Little disappointed that in the fall trees go on major sale and much less than your trees.”

Kevin D.

The trees came damaged with several broken branched and were left piled out in the open where they could have been picked up easily by a.local porch pirate. Local shops had similar, bigger, healthier trees available at.much lower prices and a longer than 30 warranty.

Most trees end up doing pretty well, but a few show up broken or looking dead. Waiting to see if they're dead or dormant. Customer support is awesome, they replaced the trees that broke in transit. Still waiting to see if my trees comes back. I'd say 85% are doing great though.

Every issue I brought up was promptly resolved.

Reason I chose this business:

I was gifted a tree from the site. It did well. The guarantee is nice. I like the selection.

I've ordered probably a dozen trees or shrubs in the last two years. The care FastGrowingTrees takes to shipping live things is incredible, like when its too hot here they will delay shipping so it's safe. Some trees arrive crinkled and thirsty but seemed to rebound alright. Only one issue post-planting and they addressed it as soon as I emailed them and I'm extremely satisfied.

Customer service has been super quick and awesome. I've done it by phone and by email. Phone is my favorite as they will add notes to the order, especially on shipping. I was going to be out of town for a very long time and they kept my tree in the greenhouse until it I was ready to receive it!

Reason I chose this business:

Personalized advertisements in my social media. I love that they knew exactly what appeals to me!

I've ordered a few trees and plants from here now. Some even go into my hydroponic test tent. Let me just shout out again to customer support, specifically on Facebook, they really know their stuff. I missed one watering while out of town and they dead $#*! sent me brand new veg to play around with again. Very cool company, if your veg is dying or looking ill, check them out, very helpful.

With packing 2 plants in a box, they receive a fair amount of damage. The cost is as much or more than buying locally. Having the plants shipped is convenient but size and condition is not as good. One of the plants I purchased (burning bush) was so small and damaged, that I replaced it with a larger and healthier burning bush that cost less than half of what I paid from fast growing trees.

Reason I chose this business:

To see if the convenience was worth it. Shopping and having the plants shipped to my door was very convenient. Quality wasn’t worth it.

I was a hesitant at purchasing a citrus tree online but living in southern Ohio a few big box stores carried dwarf citrus but they weren't very healthy looking and were so small. I came across Fast Growing Trees looking for reputable source to purchase a dwarf Cara Cara orange for a patio container. It arrived quickly and intact. It's also thriving! Very happy with my purchase and would order from them again!

I placed my first order this summer. The boxes arrived completely beat up, ripped, branches showing and poking through. It was obviously not shipped that way and was mishandled during delivery. I contact Fast Growing Trees and texted them pictures. They immediately replaced my entire order and suggested I try to salvage what I could from the initial delivery. Several of the original plants are growing from the initial order and all of the replacements are adding new growth and doing well so far.

I purchased a Japanese Blood Maple tree and received essentially a dried up stick. I called customer service and they were very helpful in crediting my account. I then used that credit to purchase a larger tree. Sadly this next tree was not any better. For $279 the tree was truly pathetic. I have purchased trees in the past and been very satisfied, not this time and probably this will be the last time I order.

Excellent customer service. But the tree is not at all what I was expecting.

Reason I chose this business:

I have bought several varieties of plants from FGT. Unfortunately, on several occasions I have had to use their guarantees to replace plants that did not survive. They have always been prompt in replacing non survivors. The only problem is me, I have several problems with my health that severely limit my abilities to do the planting. No easy answers to how to change that. I recently purchased 3 of their fruit cocktail trees. 2 showed up in Avery timely manner, one showed up 5 days later. Not in good health. I planted it and am hoping it survived the winter. I expect I will again have to do a replacement next spring.

All very friendly and responsive to needs

Reason I chose this business:

I had a lovely lady named April that helped me through the whole process for choosing the correct trees for my area. I recently had moved to the desert and gardening in this hot and dry climate is all new to me. April gave me time to think through my plans and called me back a few days later. She spent a great deal of time researching the best options for my climate as well as my desires. I appreciated her knowledge as well as her super supportive attitude and love of gardening. April made a very overwhelming task for me, completely a fun and exciting step in developing my fruit orchard that Ive always dreamed of. It was a terrific process!

see ABOVE

Reason I chose this business:

It was promoted in Dan Bongino and I liked the idea of getting trees that have a few years of growth on them. I looked at other companies and none of them offered potted trees, I didnt like the idea of getting bare root trees as the shipping and trasplanting is enough of a shock. I found the prices to be in line with other companies but Fast Growing Trees were not bare root so it was a superior choice!

Ordered a tree came with most of the branches broken and dry. When I reached out to customer service regarding replacing the tree I never received any calls or emails regarding the issue. 30 day guarantee is a scam. They have no intention in honoring that.

No response at all except an email that my request had been received

The red bud tree I received was a 4 ft stick with a few 2 inch branches, which I paid close to $150 for. At some point it will probably grow into a nice tree. However, I hope that I live long enough to see it. A local nursery is selling an 8 ft red bud with full branches and leaves for $36.

Reason I chose this business:

I was looking for a tree that was not available locally at the time. I thought it would be difficult to transport a tree in my car. Your website makes it appear that your trees are healthier and grow faster.

The stark/bare stalks that arrived (I bought 2), did not give optimism of long term success. I am please that 3 0r 4 weeks since I planted them I am seeing new leaves adding to the few left on the sapling when arrived. My appraisal is still reserved to see what results after a snowy winter.

Reason I chose this business:

I purchased here to find a variety not available in local stores.

Plants appeared to be too heavy for the shipping carton. Two pots were compressed, one end of the box was open with the bottom of one pot exposed. Carton had a crease in the center.
Reported this to customer service with pictures, so far no response.

I recently received three azalea plants, two red and one white. The red ones are in their pots and doing fine. The white one was not satisfactory and I am waiting for a replacement, which should arrive in a day or two. I have been very happy with plants from Fast Growing Trees. Their customer service is great and respond quickly.

One of the azaleas I ordered was so dry and root-bound and hard as a brick. The leaves were dead and the branches broken. I called customer service and the person I talked to was so helpful. A new plant is now on the way and I think it will be here be Tuesday, the 10th.

Reason I chose this business:

First of all, I like the Fast Growing Trees website. Before ordering from them, I searched several nurseries but could not find what I wanted. I placed my order with FGT and a week later the plants arrived. A few months ago, I ordered a white crape Myrtle. It is now blooming and is so beautiful. Why drive for miles searching all the nurseries and finding very few choices available, when you can place your order while sitting at home in your recliner.

I've been looking for a reasonably priced Redpointe Maple with no success. I already have a mature Redpointe from a local nursery that I paid more than I can afford right now. Every time I searched for this tree they were out of my price range... until now. The nice-sized tree arrived within 4-5 few days of ordering and in fantastic shape. So very pleased that I might be ordering another one soon!

I had ordered over a weekend and had no idea when the tree would arrive. Sent an email asking for delivery date and the tree arrived so quick, the answer came after the tree arrived.

What I DONT LIKE is the overwhelming amount of ads from fast growing. Considering blocking because it of this.

Overall we are satisfied with the purchase. We've had the tree in the ground for about a month and it seems to have taken. Three leaves were broken when it arrived but four more remain and appear to have strengthened as the tree has acclimated to the soil. We will see how it goes over the winter and next spring. Although the height was five to six foot as ordered, the trunk is roughly only a half inch across which was much less than we anticipated for spending the extra for the taller tree.

The two Japanese Red Maples both arrived on time but both had leaf burn or some kind of disease. It only gotten wose after planting. Additionally i ordered 3 planting kits (also bought a dogwood) and each kit was missing the fertilizer. After I complained, the missing items arrived weeks later and after i planted the trees. The very small plastic stakes included in the planting package are useless to provide adequate support of a newly planted tree.

I ordered 3 planting kits
and each kit was missing the fertilizer. it took a couple of weeks to get the replacement which thus arrived after i had to plant the trees.

I also was unhappy with the RED maple green leaf color which mademe think i had the wrong trees. The agent assured me they were red maples and the leafs would be different next year.

I ordered several limelight hydrangea shrubs, not cheap. They were damaged during shipping so a new set was delivered. They came in somewhat okay condition. Many broken branches, not very many leaves, a but disappointing. I a creating a hedge in my yard, so I took a chance on Amazon to order one. It came in perfect condition, no damage to box, plant was in amazing shape. So I ordered 2 more…. Again, fast shipping, box was perfect, shrub was gorgeous with many flowers still attached.

I was satisfied, however, with the extra shipping time was very inconvenient. Discount received.

I ordered several trees and got a very quick response, unfortunately the shipping company didn't take very good care and one tree arrived badly damaged.
FastGrowingTrees immediately replaced the tree with no problem whatsoever.

Our 2 trees were delivered
Our Golden willow was ok with some broken branches
But the choc mimosa is just a stick. All branches damaged basically zero growth on it. It literally looks like we planted a stick on the ground. Not satisfied at all. That was a waste of money

I have ordered from the company before and was super happy with the plants as they arrived in perfect condition and gave me a bumper crop of very tasty tomatoes.
I ordered again a number of rose bushes who are absolutely stunning and the envy of my neighbors.
I will continue to order as the product is beautiful and the customer service is outstanding

All in all great plants…. Grown to survive, Very healthy, and when packaged for shipping, well thought out so it would make the brutal environment it had to live in until un packaged. When it arrived, it was if you just picked it up from the nursery. Today still growing strong.

Reason I chose this business:

Fast Growing trees had the specific tree I was looking for (there were other companies). Over all the Customer service and choices, and value for what I need is why I purchased here. Turns out I was correct.
