Never again!
October 27, 2019

I bought 2 indoor plants and 1 tree. The first plant lasted only a few months and the other plant and tree died within a year.

Buy local
October 27, 2019

I really wanted this to be a great experience, but it wasn't. I bought 5 river birch that died very quickly. I called and then spent more money on a 1 year warranty. Even though they were all ready dead. The other 2 willows I also bought never made it through the winter. Received some in store credit so I ordered some pencil thin trees to seem like I received something. Just an overall regrettable experience.
Side note: I have planted dozens of trees on my acreage with success.

I had five emerald green arborvitae (14 inches tall) planted in May 2018 from one gallon containers. They got planting mix, with plenty of water and sun. They haven't grown one inch! I was advised by a friend that the roots must be growing in, and then they'll grow upwards. BUPKIS! The FGT website stated that they would grow from 14 inches to 4 1/2 feet. There has been ZERO growth.

Great bushes, trees not so much!
October 27, 2019

Last year I bought 8 trees and 3 of them did not make the winter. One was replaced with quite satisfactorily. The other 2 were not - I was told of numerous hoops to jump thru and was unable to do that. I think I know a dead tree - no leaves in spring and summer! Will not purchase anymore trees. I did purchase several bushes and they are all GREAT!

3 out of 4 made it
October 27, 2019

I ordered 4 Black Knight Butterfly Bush's a year or so ago 3 arrived healthy looking and the third looked not so good. Within a week the weaker of the 4 plants rotted and died while the other three flourished. I'm not sure if I would order again but the specimens that did survive are absolutely gorgeous.

No thanks

Plants have scale - had to throw them out. Very disappointing since they were not cheap.

Dissatisfied
October 27, 2019

I purchased lilacs, a cherry tree, and a peach tree listed for my zone and the recommended food and fertilizer and planted them as instructed. The cherry tree and peach tree died after the first winter. Only the lilacs survived. At the time I purchased, I *thought* there was a one year warranty included, but I couldn't find any support of this when the trees died.

Trees never lived a month.
October 27, 2019

I followed all of their directions, None of the trees that I bought lived. One was DOA. They sent a replacement. It died within a month of arrival. I have lots of fruit trees, some are grown from seeds etc, I generally have good results but none of the trees lived long enough to even make new leaves or fruits.

The trees I ordered were fine. They arrived promptly and were in protective packaging. As a newer gradener I am finding the five or more deer that bed down in my grass every night, seem to like to eat anything they can find. If I were to get something again I would put extensive wire around all plants. Frustrating.

No new growth
October 27, 2019

I purchased a lemon tree. Since purchasing last spring, it has lost about half of its leaves and not produced any new growth. I have fertilized with citrus tree fertilizer, and paid carful attention to sun and water conditions. It has flowered, and actually produced 2 small fruits, but they have remained the same size (walnut sized) and dark green for the last month. I am doubtful they will ever turn yellow and be edible. It's kind of the lemon tree that isn't dying but also isn't showing much promise.

Rip off, stay away
October 18, 2019

I purchased Croton Petra in 3 gallon pot for $39.99. Should look good right? Wrong! Plant came in 3 gallon pot which didn't grow in that pot but was taken from 6'' pot(which should be different price, almost double less on site page) and thrown before shipping into a bigger pot. Very stressed, very small plant. I wrote a review but of cause it was not posted because it was not good enough. Just for example I bought from local store same plant( not shipping cost of $16.99 too) for $12.99. So the bottom line:
- not as advertised, don't trust site reviews
- complaints are ignored
- too expensive and on top you have to pay for shipping.

Dead tree
September 28, 2019

Same thing that everyone else who had this problem says. I bought the Miracle Berry tree and didn't even argue when the advertised price was incorrect and I ended up paying more. I also purchased the recommended soil, etc. The tree bloomed once and died although all my other plants around it were fine. I think I dealt with Pamela and Jennifer - unhelpful and refused to make it right.

Purchased a tree, bought a warranty just in case. Tree arrived, paid a professional tree company to plant tree. Within several months tree died, followed ALL recommendations provided to care for the tree. Reported to company, they are not willing to refund money, just offer an in store credit. What is the point of purchasing a warranty if i cannot get a refund. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Bought 38 Cyprus trees, and the one year warranty. 7 of them died. Emailed them to get the dead trees warrantied, and they're been dragging their feet, and refuse to send replacement coupon, even though they have said warranty is approved. First sent them email in July, claim to have resent, but its hasn't arrived. Reminds me of checks in the mail game. Warranty is a rip off, don't bother with it.
