I am an elderly lady in Zone 7b and just as soon as I ordered the plant our weather turned very cold and breezy and I asked FGT if they could hold my plant until late February/March, 2025 which they were very receptive to. Temps are still in 30's to low 40's during day and low 20's at night.

Best company ever!
January 17, 2025

I have made several purchases.
So happy about the 1 year warranty.
I have a cherry tree i sent to Virginia and hoping it makes it.
I'm in florida and had a problem regarding a banana plant.
They immediately replaced the injured plant.
I respect a company that backs up it's plants.
Fingers are crossed on cherry tree but I rest easy that it will be replaced if it doesn't make it!
Thank you for the great plants.

Disappointed
January 17, 2025

I purchased 4 eastern red cedars for shipment in spring…. Well they canceled my order…probably because these trees are selling for $465 or so not the $90 or so I paid?! Then I did purchase one for $465 and was told it would be ok to plant I late fall.,, well it's dying…. And I reached out and have heard nothing back?

I bought a lemon tree in my sleep...
January 17, 2025

Time to lock up my phone at night. I bought a lemon tree at 0500 - and had no recollection of said purchase when I saw an email about my shipment. I'm not sure WHY I bought a Meyer Lemon Tree, as I live in southern Illinois, but when she arrived, I was a bit taken aback at the size of the box. Surely it had to be a lot of "padding" right? Because WHO buys a really BIG lemon tree in their sleep?

Me, apparently.

I unpacked her and marveled at how tall she is and how great she looks. She's taller than me and I'm 5'6". Time to go get a big pot, some soil, and a stand on casters to move 'er around! I planted the tree successfully and placed her in my south facing kitchen - along a bank of windows.

My family thinks I'm nuts - they're probably not wrong.

I was a bit worried about this purchase - because I don't think I need a "fast-growing tree" since she's already taller than me, but all is good. She looks very healthy and happy in her new home and I'm anxiously awaiting the first blossom. I already have visions of pollinating the tree with a little paint brush, and then harvesting loads (?) of delicious lemons and making something absolutely amazing with these lemons.

Honestly, the tree is really beautiful and even if it never creates a lemon, I'm pretty happy. It's a beautiful addition to our kitchen. But if I actually GET lemons from this thing I'm gonna be tickled pink (or, yellow, I guess).

I still love you guys but...
January 17, 2025

Bought my wife a mature Key Lime tree for her birthday. Not my first purchase, have had good experiences in the past and got really good advice online. When the tree arrived about a month ago it was showing signs of shock. I transplanted it and followed directions for soil, light, heat, and water carefully. Over the past month the tree experienced significant leaf drop. By the time I gave it to my wife it looked like a "Charlie Brown" tree. A little disappointing. I have been slowly trying to nurse it back to health. It shows signs of life but still looks awful. Sorry, just an honest review.

Great Service, Lovely Trees
January 17, 2025

We have had good experiences with FastGrowingTrees. Our latest purchase was no exception: while initially our order of a fiddle-leaf fig tree was disappointing (it arrived in terrible condition, unhealthy, browning and falling leaves and some broken branches), I reached out and provided pictures, and customer service swiftly rectified the issue by delivering a new tree free of charge. This one arrived in excellent condition and is thriving. I believe the first one just an unfortunate fluke or more related to the courier. We will definitely order from them again.

Had hoped for better Quality
January 17, 2025

I ordered and received two Green Giant evergreens. Both were the same height and were packed in the same box for delivery. However, one is fine and healthy, while the other is thin and not looking as healthy.

Fast delivery and great looking tree
January 17, 2025

The ordering and delivery was easy, and the tree arrived in great shape. The tree was really fresh, and it's still looking great now, about 4 weeks now since it's been delivered.

Great customer service!
January 17, 2025

I ordered a tree for my sister for Christmas. I did not want it delivered before Christmas so they I could surprise her (and she was going away for the holidays). The person on the chat line was very patient, (I left in the middle for about 5 minutes because I didn't realize at first she was real!) and super helpful in coming up with a good solution. We haven't gotten the tree yet because we are waiting for some warmer weather, but so far so good!

Four flowering trees are doing well!
January 17, 2025

My four flowering trees arrived quickly and in very good condition, and we planted three outside right away, and one inside (a meyer lemon tree). The outside trees seem to be holding up well under the winter weather. The meyer lemon is producing brightly perfumed flowers and holding up beautifully in the corner of the kitchen. I look forward to seeing flowers and fruits on all the trees in a few months!

Healthy Plants
January 15, 2025

December 2024 I ordered 15 plants, a mixture of fruit tree's, shrubs, and flowering plants. It's been about 3 wks sence they have been planted and all are doing great. All of the plants arrived in great condition, with exception of the Plumeria tree, it was broken in half in the box, assuming during transit. I couldn't just thow it out so I planted the top portion, after dipping in root stimulator, and it does have new leaf growth appearing. HEALTHY PLANTS

Fast growing trees employees have all been very helpful to all my questions and their plants and trees are great looking. Fed ex sucks but even when they lose your package Ash was able to resend my order and I got it within a week. They're all pretty dormant now for the winter but I'm excited for spring.
