We ordered shrubs, trees and plants from Fast Growing Trees and everything is doing great! We had an issue with one of our shipments but the customer service department made it right for us, no questions asked, instantly. We will definitely be ordering more soon!
When it arrived, it looked just like a stick within three or four days. It had grown and unbelievably and had quite a few leaves. Really excited to see this grow!
So far they are growing good. I've only had them for 5 months so I'll update my review next year.
Great customer service! Great variety and always knowledgeable
I had a plant that died, and called for an exchange. I understood that it couldn't be exchanged but a credit given.But the associate told me the nxt size was not available. I went on the website, only to find out, that it WAS available. I'm glad I did. Because I almost didn't. Anyway I used the credit and it's on the way. I probably won't buy anything else, as this is the 2nd plant I have had to replace.
Our hydrangea tree came quickly and as expected looked a little thirsty. We planted it the next day and within 24 hours it had perked back up and has been doing well. My experience has been that these will take off and really do well in the next growing season but be a little muted the first year. A tip an old landscaper gave me for planting new plants is to take them out of the pot and dunk the dirt ball in a bucket of water until the bubbles stop then put it in the hole and backfill. Have never had this method fail me yet.
I planted 17 green giants in the spring 2025 and they all seem to be doing well so far. The trees came fast and were packaged appropriately for shipping.
Shared with FGT and they never responded back. They asked many questions about watering. When told it was DOA, no response.
I've purchased 4 trees and 2 bushes. One tree didn't survive very long and they sent a replacement... it's beautiful now. A blueberry bush arrived with fruit and I've already eaten some! That was after a phone call to get the best one for my placement!
Everything I have ever purchased from Fast Growing Trees has exceeded my expectations. The plants/shrubs/trees ship quickly and are perfectly packed to keep the product intact. Every shipment comes with instructions to ensure successful planting/growing.
I purchased an Autumnberry Service Berry tree and was concerned about how the tree was doing and firstly if I had planted it correctly. I received caring knowledgeable advice and reassure that all was well. I feel Fastgrowing Trees cares about their products and customers. Hoping my tree will grow strong and healthy for many years!
Initially the plants I received were substandard. I let the company know and they offered a bit of a discount. I was not satisfied. However, after more communication they did send replacements that were the quality I was used to from this company.
I will continue to use and recommend them.
Didn't receive the plants I ordered. I have a mixture of Skip Laurel and Cherry Laurel. They arrived with pests as the leaves were chewed threw. I sent the company pictures and got no response other than please send pictures. I would like a refund.
The purchase process was flawed. I was quoted a discount with a promotion that included free freight. When the order went through the freight charge was included which offset the discount. My complaint forced cancellation and when I went to reorder and was forced to upgrade to a larger more expensive tree that was scheduled for quick shipment. I paid for the larger tree and when the larger Tree (Meyer Lemon tree didn't arrive I was told that it was on backorder and waited about 2 months from the original purchase date. When the tree arrived by FedEx it was in a very large box with no internal support structure for protection. The box was crushed and many small limbs were broken off. There was a support bamboo shaft support which was I tried to contact by phone to report the issue and was advised to complete a form with photos. No one responded. My complaint was not addressed. There were no care or repair documents or advice available.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE TAPES OFF OR IF THE TREE WOULD BREAK THEM AS IT GROWS. IT WAS NICELY ATTACHED TO THE STAKE AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE TAPE WOULD JUST BREAK AWAY ONCE THE TREE WAS GROWING SECURELY, BUT I WASN'T SURE, AND THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE STABILITY TAPING FOR SHIPPING/GROWING.
Ordering was easy. Arrived a few days late but because they were packed so good they were in perfect condition. Third time ordering from FGT and they do not disappoint!
While the blueberry plants seem to be growing well, the choice of FedEx to deliver them is suspect. The box looked as though it had been used as a step stool and/or a bench. One of the plants was broken by the mishandling of the box.
Your plants are very nice but the 6' tree I ordered was pathetic. It was a 6' twig, 1 branch with a few leaves. For the same money I purchased from a local nursery a full looking small tree 6' tall with multiple branches and full of leaves. I'm very disappointed and will not be buying trees from you again
I was dismiss by customer service of my concerns about a missing companion plant. I bought an Anna kiwi plant what was supposed to come with another companion plant Meader Kiwi, I think in order to fruit. I am very disappointed with the fact that I felt dismiss by customer service knowing that it's supposed to come with second plant as it said on the tag and the description page …
Order went through, but never received my product. I have tried to contact someone, but have no response.
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.
