The arbivita I bought previously were alive, in good shape and growing nicely. I thought that they'd be bigger, but my mistake.
I ordered a tree in mid August. Customer service reached out two weeks later and said the tree will not ship until late October. I reached out last week to see where it was at they said it should be shipped soon. Today after I contacted them again for a tracking number they say it will not be ready until later next year. Come on FGT I already dug the hole and have been waiting for months.
I have ordered several times from Fast Growing Trees and I have been very happy each time. I have recommended their plants to others who have had similar experiences. Great plants. They arrive very healthy. Love 'em
I get good trees and shrubs in good condition. On the one or two occasions there was a problem, customer service was responsive and set things straight.
Ordered an apricot and a persimmon 4-5 ft. Both trees were that size. I didn't expect any foliage and there wasn't any. It's winter. But I did expect roots. The apricot was burlaped and had a nice root ball. The persimmon on the other hand was in a half gallon pot that had contained what appeared to be mostly peat, but all of that had fallen out in transit. So essentially bare root. Otherwise it looked fine. I have planted it and hope to see it flourish. I have not had good luck with American persimmons. I bought three from Stark Brothers that arrived in terrible condition and are clearly struggling.
Last time, you sent me the most pitiful looking trees. To your credit, you refunded my purchase price, but please be sure to select a quality, healthy tree this time.
Ordered two spanish olive trees. They seem to be thriving outdoors in very large pots in near direct sun all day, look beautiful, but no fruiting in 2+ years.
Overall positive. Had some issues with broken plants on arrival, which were replaced quickly, and had some plants not survive a winter. I'm trying the two year guarantee this time.
The selection and availability is excellent. I have ordered a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees over the last several years. Mostly good experience, but some arrived broken, and several did not survive the first year, even with professional planting. Trying again!
Was great. Bought 2 arbequina olive trees. One died. You sent a new, better tree to replace. Huge factor for today's purchase. Legit company. Stands by their product.
Shipping is fast and trees appear in good condition. If looking for the best most advanced growth pick the largest possible growth. Also choice of year is important. Wrong season will produce a poorly attractive tree.
Fruit trees flower and produce fruit problems with the three apricot trees not producingfruit
Promised a BOGO promotion. Then said the tree is out of stock…just looked. It's in stock. Disappointed. Disappointing. I've spent thousands with you. Never again. Also I recommended to people that bought from you. Never again. You lied. "Tree is out of stock". It's not. Just wanted to give me half value for it. Will be giving bad reviews to people from now on. Guaranteed. Make it right!
I ordered 2 Italian prune trees previously and was told they are self -pollinating, but I haven't had fruit since I purchased them. They have blossomed but no fruit. Lastly, the leaves do not look like the Italian prune trees on your website.
I purchased 2 trees with one having defect. The service representative Pam followed it up and credited me with store credit so I ordered a replacement tree with the credit.
I have been shopping with you all for years--everything from shrubs to lemon trees to other fruit trees. Everything is always top notch.
My trees were delivered in a timely fashion, and the trees are beautiful and healthy. A big thank you to:
Fast Growing Trees!
I am very happy, with the quality of the trees!
My trees/bushes arrived in perfect condition. Followed up by an excellent chat with customer service to dispel my fears of killing my tree! Thank you. 😊
I know what im looking for and you always have most of the time in stock products, you cant always expect 100 % of the time during summer rush months that its there all the time but a great percentage it will be there. Which im ok with.
Ordered 10-12 4' Schip laurels; planted across back property border, inside 6' stockade fence. Grew to <6' ht. Blocked noise and traffic sights from very busy street on other side of fence.
10 Schip laurels formed a privacy hedge in front of a fence at back of lot to reduce traffic sights and sounds from a busy road. Very successful. Reached expected height of >6ft.,
I have ordered a Leprechaun Arborvitae prior. I also ordered other types. They are growing beautifully. I also purchased an everblooming azalea. That hasn't bloomed this year. It is growing. I'm hoping next year. I advise getting the root rocket. It truly helps. I have other dwarf Arborvitae I bought from a local nursery. They weren't doing well. I bought the root rocket for the plants I ordered from FGT. They are alive and beautiful. Deep green and thriving. Thank you Fast Growing Trees staff. You were a huge part of why these plants do well. You offer support to ensure the homeowners have what they need to suceed.
I bought a few hundred dollars worth of things for my garden. I killed them all. But fgt sent them again because I paid for this amazing warranty. I figured out where I went wrong. Now this spring i will give it another go. Thanks guys. Home Depot would not do alsuch things for people
I purchased a cold hardy avocado tree that is thriving. It was outside all summer and is now doing well in a small greenhouse. I decided to add a cold hardy banana and give it a try.
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.
