Purchased a pygmy date, a triumph muscadine and a key lime. The grapes looked great and are doing quite well a few months later, the date palm was and is beautiful, the key lime is a slightly different story. Arrived looking beautiful but it quickly got sick. Long story short I followed their advice and when it didn't work they generously replaced it no charge, sent me another even larger (later in the year so obviously) key lime. Have since made another purchase and those are all doing quite well also. Two figs, a yerba I believe something else though at the moment i can't remember... Anyway the three mentioned are all growing quite well indeed
The trees came quickly and were well packed and the customer service has been good. Overall the experience is positive - but I felt I needed to reflect the fact that the Meyer Lemon I bought was extremely lopsided. ALL the branches on one side of the tree were pruned off and so it has all its growth on one side of the tree. I try to give the bare side more access to the sun hoping it might grow a little more in that direction - but the other side just grows bigger and makes it progressively more lopsided.
I wish I could share photos of the trees that I have purchased over the past ten years and how they have grown. Have purchased and given many as unique gifts as well. Excellent company that stands behind their products.
I have bought two trees through Fast Growing Trees, and they both have arrived healthy and growing well.
Ordered a Bosc Pear tree. When it came, I planted it in a large pot as the root ball was about as big as my two fists, almost no feeder roots at all. Very poorly dug. Picked it up by the ball and trunk and the tree was wobbly and pulled out of the ball completely when I tried to plant it. Leaves were flagging and stayed that way for months until it grew some roots. It is in the ground and I have my fingers crossed as it is putting out new growth. Also had to prune a lot of dead tips where newer growth had died. I bought two pears at a local garden center and they cost the same and were in excellent health. Bought an espaliered apple tree for 39.00 dollars from Home Depot and it is in perfect condition. Called about the poor condition and was told to wait for a month. Did so and it had a small amount of new growth. Decided to wait and see. Still in poor condition but it's alive. Not a company I have any faith in and will not buy from again.
The tree's were small and half of them died already. I've emailed three times and got no response. So I'm going to a local nursery and bye from now on
When you order from Fast Growing Trees youll receive top notch nursery stock with fast, I mean fast, delivery. Im quite picky, and have no complaints on anything I ordered. Just give the plants some TLC after you plant them, and youll have years of enjoyment!
I ordered a tree for my brother in memory of his father. The tree arrived in good condition. My brother law appreciated the gift and the thought behind it. He got the tree in the ground and it's living!
So far I have bought 2 Crepe Myrtle trees.
Going to make a small wooded area with a path.
The Crepe Myrtles ought to be very beautiful when in bloom and bark begins to peel a little.
Thank you, Ray
I ordered 2 olive trees & a lemon tree. One of the olive trees was out of its container when I opened the box. I did the best I could to reassemble the dirt & tree back into the container. It went downhill from there. The other 2 trees are doing fine. I havent repotted them for fear of the same outcome.
The 3 trees I purchased all were small with very little root. They all died. I asked for a refund and they sent 2 trees twice the size of the first 3 but did not notify me so they died on my front porch. Buy local.
If you're looking for something in particular, particularly a multi-fruit tree, you can often find it here, and it will be cheap, but the trees will be younger and scrawnier than you'll find even at your local Lowes or Home Depot. Shipping is fast, but since the trees are boxed and not packed in much dirt, you'd better be ready to plant them right away. I bought more than a dozen trees, and they were fine. If I had to do it again, I'd buy only the harder to get trees from here.
I emailed FGT about 5 weeks after receiving and planting my tree because it had failed to break dormancy during a warm and rainy May. I received no answer. The tree if fine and growing now. But that failure to respond to my concerns makes me hesitant to order from Fast Growing Trees again.
Bushes and roses that I ordered arrived quickly and were in very good shape when they arrived. They have been an excellent addition to our yard.
I bought 3 queen palm tree 1 arrive earlier when I open the box I thought it was a fake tree its so beautiful so healthy green looking color. But then the other 2 came a week later they look dead they look different looked like they gonna die, I water them right away and let them sit a day in my leaving room and the next day slowly put them in the shade area in my backyard then the sun So far so good they all alive and healthy looking good. Fast growing tree is the best place to get a tree fast and easy.
I ordered 4 trees and 16 bushes. The trees were good but most of the bushes had a lot of bugs to varying degrees. The core of them were solid and we were able to get them in the ground right away and treat them (so we saved them all), but was surprised and disappointed with the condition. The price was very competitive so still a good value, and perhaps this was just one order, but not ideal.
The cherry tree I bought last Oct. Is growing so awesome, but this
Last one which was a foot taller,& since April has not grown at all,
And looks the same as when I planted it. The leaves seem so small.
Hope it will do good next year. They were 6' & 7' $100.00 ea.
The Meyer Lemon tree came packed perfectly and ready to plant. It was healthy with many early stage lemons on it's branches. Sturdy and beautiful, it's the type of plant that I hope to enjoy and watch blossom and grow for many years to come.
Quick shipping, trees were packaged very well and arrived in great condition. Everything I purchased is thriving so far!
Answer: Cancel your order now before it's too late, go to a local nursery and save yourself some money and unwarranted aggravation, these folks are not honorable.
Answer: I ordered 3 autumn blaze maples. They have been in the ground for 2 years now and have yet to turn red in the fall. I did some research and found that they only turn red if the temperature conditions are right. I live in Idaho and we basically skipped fall this year and went straight into winter. So once again the leaves just turned brown. I am hoping to finally get a display next year.
Answer: The same thing is happening to me. My tree died and they keep saying they're going to make good and nothing happens. Real crooks, this company.
