Bought this as a gift and the recipient said it arrived it good condition. Tree is still doing well months later.
I've been wanting one of my favorite trees - the Mimosa - at my new home in Missouri. This was my first time to order from Fast-Growing-Trees. It was easy to place the order, and confirmation was swift - with tree delivery promptly following. I'd ordered 2 and I had a little concern of the full health of one. FGT answered my email concerns quickly and professionally AND sent me a replacement to guarantee my satisfaction. Well handled, excellent personalized client care I really appreciated. I will certainly order from them again and recommend to family and friends.
I received a damaged weeping cherry (due to improper packaging: the roots were in a loose bag) that arrived wilted and clearly damaged. I took pictures and notified FGT with pictures of the plant's terrible condition. They basically told me this is not unusual and I should give the plant a chance to recover. The plant never recovered and I never received a replacement. I later discovered that I could purchase a larger, potted weeping cherry at a lower cost from another source.
There are many other good and responsive mail order nurseries that provide healthy stock and excellent service at reasonable prices. I have shifted my purchases elsewhere.
A couple of the original trees were not healthy looking upon arrival, but were immediately replaced. All of the trees are thriving and several have figs less than two months after planting.
Only one out of three trees I ordered flourished. 4 calls to customer service only got me requests to give them a little more time. The two are doing poorly and I purchased the GROWTH GUARANTEE! I don't think they intend to honor it.
Growing Well. For the first month there was no sign of growth above. Then it exploded with new branches bigger than the trunk itself! Still alot more for the growing season to!
Although a bit pricey, In my opinion, the trees are packed well for shipment. The roots are packed in soil, and can be buried without being disturbed. I believe that reduces the shock and gives the trees a better chance for a good start.
I wasn't sent a tree, I was sent a twig. I will never buy from this company again nor would I ever recommend them. Beyond disappointed!
The surprise gift for my son was on his porch safe and sound when he got home from work. He planted it in his yard and is very happy to have it. It was just what he wanted!
Although my trees arrive healthy I have lost one months after delivery. I purchased the insurance and my tree was replaced with no questions asked. I'm kind of hooked on fruit trees and am looking to buy another soon.
Planted the trees with the root rocket and a couple fish for extra fertilizer and they have grown 12" since I received them a few months ago
So far so good, hot summer and not much rain and they're still doing well since I planted in May. I'm looking forward to seeing this heir growth from now to then.
I paid about $99 for the fast grow crepe myrtle and something to add to the soil to make it grow, and when it came the plant part was barely a foot tall! A week later Lowe's had Crepe Myrtle's on sale for $7 and they have grown like weeds! The one I purchased from Fast Growing Trees is still just over a foot, the others are 4 and 5 feet!
Great co. Got 10 trees from tropical trees from them, some having accident in shipping, no hesitation they sent me another one, sometime couple time.
Now each one of them are like a show case, specially my cocktail tree.
Got to order 4 more to complete my collection. I leave in LV Nevada, very tough state for growing any kind of fruit trees, got to protect them from sun, mist, ect... thank you fast growing trees...
Ordered twice and both times very satisfied. The tree was larger and healthier than I expected. The holly bushes also were in excellent condition and about the size I expected. My free dogwood was slightly damaged in shipping but was so healthy overall that I pinched off the damaged tip and you cannot even tell. It is also thriving very well
The first tree I was sent was very small with hardly any secondary roots. I planted the day it arrived and it never put out any leaves. I called customer support and they asked me to be patient. After a month and a half, I called again and they made arrangements for a second tree to be sent. The person I talked to made sure that the tree would be shipped at the right time to prevent it from being exposed to too much California heat. The tree has been in the ground for 3 weeks and is doing well considering that it's being exposed to triple digit temperatures. I used its giant cardboard shipping box to protect it from afternoon sun. Looking forward to apricots in a few years.
Fast growing trees have always taken care of me. I love their warranty because I put so much hard work on my trees and then if they die, I don't have to worry about it as the warranty is great and customer service exceeds my expectations.
Was very saddened when I received trees that were all the smallest of the advertised size range, and only one of the trees actually arrived like it had been cared for and ready to ship. Our cherry tree had a damaged root ball, and our peach tree had been rootbound in a container much too small for it. Our little apple tree was the only one in good condition. None of them are anywhere near mature enough to produce fruit the first year as advertised. We shall see how they winter and if I will have to make a warranty claim on them come spring, it just made me very sad that the lack of care they had before coming to our home was what held them back from successful healthy transplant. Will not be purchasing from this company again.
