Purchased 3 Pineapple Plants from Fast-Growing Trees, the soil of all 3 plants were contaminated with a type of meal worm and a small white slimy grub type pest. Do yourself a favor and go to a local nursery or even a big box store for a far superior product. Company also didn't respond to final email about the pest infestation.

Company eventually responded about infestation with list of chemicals to purchase to kill pest. Did not offer a refund or replacement plants

They stink. Fast growing cold hearty avocado purchased as a prototype, dies within 7 months. Complained, told me too bad. I pushed, offered me $7.00 coupon and tree on sale. Told them to shove it. They offered me retroactive warranty for $17.95 and a new tree if I paid the shipping. See what they are doing... escalating in steps till they are off the hook. Contact the State Attorney General in N. C. and ask about them, your phone will catch fire. Finally I wrote them a scathing email, then got barraged calls from some jerk, I hung up on 8 times finally he stopped. Dont do business with them, too much bad press, read it. Google COMPLAINTS, Fast Growing Trees and watch your computer vomit out piles and piles of pissed off customers.

I wished I had read all the reviews before I ordered from them. Apparently they differ from all the local nurseries about a one year warranty on their products. I called customer service about the frost free gardenia that did not seem to grow at all and was told about their 45 days warranty. Their prices are definitely higher and customer service is less than adequate. They basically told me that their warranty is actually better than other on line competitors. I spent almost $200.00 and would have such a better time spending that on any of the local nurseries. A lesson learnt-- don't buy from them.

Bought two Autumn Blaze trees through them. They both arrived DOA and after a month of watching them not come out of dormancy, we asked for replacements. To their credit, FGT immediately shipped replacements. Unfortunately, one died and the other one is growing and alive but it's also a branch grafted onto a root system. So bottom line, out of four trees, three died and one is kind of ugly but we're going to let it grow for now. Just save the hassle and buy from a local nursery.

I ordered two 5' Bing Cherry Trees and the bonus Empress Tree. What I received were insect ridden trees that I cannot plant in my orchard because of the infestation. Also there was no Empress Tree in the box yet the shipping label said there was one. This company is not reputable. I am waiting for their response. I warn everyone that is considering placing an order with them not do it... this is a scam and the company is unscruplous... John Murphy/ Huntsville, AR

Ordered a empress tree from them supposed to be 1 gallon container. Shipping was fast but that is the only good thing I can say about them. What I received was a 4 foot box with about a cup of loose potting soil and a 1/4 inch nub, literally the size of my fingernail. No leaves or anything green. I paid $30.00 in total. I sent an email with pictures and number asking for a refund still haven't heard anything. I wrote a review on there website but it is nowhere to be found I guess they only post the positive ones. What a scam, I will never use this site again and tell everyone I know to avoid it!

I ordered 2 apple trees last Fall for over $100.
One didn't look too alive, but I planted both
Anyway and watered them. This Spring I
Saw that the bark of both trees had been
Devastated by rabbits. One may survive,
But the other is dead. I subsequently
Found out that nurseries sell fruit trees with
Protective shields for this reason. A company
That sells just trees should be well aware of that and provide
This inexpensive protection, or at least inform consumers
That this is an issue that frequently arises
So they can take their own precautions.
