THE 1ST SET OF TREES DELIVED LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE THROWN OFF A CLIFF; THEY SAID THEY'D REFUND MY MONEY BUT TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO CANCEL THE REST OF MY ORDER WITHOUT MY PERMSSION! HORRIBLE COMPANY, AND ENDED UP COSTING MY MORE MONEY DUE TO WASTE OF TOP SOIL, EQUIPMENT AND LABOR COSTS FOR TREES THAT ARE NOT COMING!

Don't waste your time or money purchased an Avocado tree couple of weeks back for my wife's birthday. At the urging of the CSR, bought the biggest, most mature tree they offered to ensure we'd enjoy at least the short term experience of a beautiful house plant for a few months. For $120, we received a 4 foot stick, with 3 branches, and a half dozen leaves, all bunched on one side the kind of plant any decent nursery would just throw away. When I contacted Brighter Blooms through their "contact us" link, the response we got a few days later from Shawn G. At Fastgrowingtrees.com was "Give it time. It's a young tree. Feel free to call us". But no phone number. When I started reading all their negative feedback from others buyers, I knew I'd been had. Learn from this.

Olive Tree
April 12, 2019

Tree arrived with scale. Slowly died over last year despite persistent attempts to nurse back to health. Rip off. Company doesn't respond. Save your money and go to a local nursery. Pathetic.

False advertisement
April 6, 2019

I bought a sweet pomegranate tree and an Arbequina olive tree online. The sweet pomegranate tree looks fine. The olive tree, they probably picked the worst one to send to me. It looks so so sad and dirty. Nowhere close to the picture they put online for advertisement. There is a disclaimer sent with the tree saying we are in winter months, the tree looks this bad but if I were the owner of this business, I would never send my customer anything like this.
Their price is not the cheapest either.
I would never shop with them again or recommend anyone to do online shopping with Fast Growing Tree.

Ripping Off
February 8, 2019

I felt upset, frustrated and angry because I has been ripping off by FastGrowingTrees.com. I did order 2 Kishu Mandarin from FastGrowingTrees.com for $59.00/each + shipping fees. Following the shipment tracking progress, my orders has been pickup and shipped from Watsonville, California. (BTW, FastGrowingTrees.com is in South Carolina). When receiving the orders, I checked the shipping label and found out that my orders was actually from fourwindsgrowers.com. By curiosity, I checked the price from fourwindsgrowers.com and the price is only $25/each + shipping fees.

BTW, please check fourwindsgrowers.com before ordering. They had the best prices. And you could save at least 100% comparing to FastGrowingTrees.com.

UPDATE: I wrote the review about FastGrowingTrees.com business practices; but they did not post my review.

Beautiful tree, time of death unknown
February 7, 2019

Bought a gorgeous Korean silver fir. All the needles dropped off, while still green, so don't know when it died. Not within 45 days though. It was too good to be true.

Dead
February 1, 2019

Plant didn't make it three weeks, dead. I will NEVER order a plant online again.

I though buying a plant online was a bad idea, confirmed. It is.

Beautiful Hydrangea Tree

Have to wait and see
January 7, 2019

The trees grew last year after planting. Now, we'll have to wait and see if they survive the winter and grow more next spring and summer.

Thank you Fast Growing Trees!
January 1, 2019

We've bought several trees and bushes from Fast-Growing Trees all with lovely and evocative names, and we've had a great experience each time with: "Grand Champion Rose" bushes, boxwoods, azaleas, holly, lilac, gardenia and, last but not least, the "Emerald Green Arbivitae," which we bought last fall and which will hopefully be particularly "fast growing" this spring providing a beautiful hedge on one side of our backyard...

Long Time in Answering
December 3, 2018

One tree had a big root ball, the other had hardly any. The one with no root ball to speak of only grew about 12" tall.

Trees Die Too Fast
December 1, 2018

I have ordered at least 10 trees over the past several years and at least 5 have died, and I only had insurance purchased on 1 of them. The shipping and website are great, but the trees die too fast.

Disappointed
November 14, 2018

Plants arrived in 3 quart containers not the gallon containers as advertised. They were barely 12 in tall and have grown only two in this summer. Found larger less expensive same plant at Lowe's where I purchased more
