I ordered two of the same tree. One came well backed and thriving - the other, in the same box was almost dead. The plastic holding the roots and soil in place hadn't been secured and it came open. All the soil came out (and dropped all over my floors when I brought the box in). The roots were bare and dry.
They arrived in perfect condition. We planted them and they were thriving. Then the squirrels struck, and broke some of the branches. We have transplanted them and put protection around them and are hoping for some cherries this summer, or maybe next summer. Very satisfied with this company. Thank you.
I have yet to receive a tree in good condition from fast growing trees and this time was no different. Two hydrangea standards arrived wilted, brown leaves and deeply pruned back. One of the trees already had a dent scratched into the tree trunk which is a sign someone already scratched the trunk to check if it's still alive. I called customer service and they told me to wait it out for a month and the plant is just stressed. We will see. It's been two weeks and the plant is still dying.

We suffered a horrible derecho thru our area last Aug. 10. As a result, 65% of the area's trees were destroyed and the devastation was (is) just unbelievable and heartbreaking. I wanted to begin replacing what I could in my own yard and purchased a 5-6 ft. Blaze Maple which arrived ahead of schedule and in perfect condition. Planted the new baby Maple the next day and it has just 'blossomed' in it's new home with the leaves and new sprouts growing like crazy already. Love it! :)
I have been buying shrubbery from FGT for years. The plants are always first rate, very healthy and arrive in a timely manner well packed. I will be a customer for years to come.
Ordered three- 6 foot Dawn Redwoods. I received three wilted sticks. After a week, I now have three wilted, and now brown, sticks planted in my yard. A stark $400 lesson on why I should have patronized a local nursery instead of trying mail order trees.

My tree arrived without any leaves or limbs, and there were roots, but no real tree ball. My son who worked in landscaping planted it for me but thought it looked dead. I called FastGrowingTrees and they told me how to check if the tree was alive, and it was.
When I wrote back about my concerns about the lack of a root ball, they again reassured me. I am monitoring the progress and I have up to 30 days to see if it continues to live or dies.
Both plants do not look good. It has not been freezing here on Vashon Island.
What should I do? If you send me your email I will send an image of the plants.
I have planted mail order plants in the past and not had any problems.

My trees arrived without issues. The pomegranate tree is small and after planting it doesn't look super healthy. It's still alive and I'm hoping it hangs on. It's been planted for a couple of weeks. I'm worried the pomegranate tree won't make it, time will tell. The fig tree on the other hand is thriving, no worries about it.

I order tree for my girl friends house warming gift
Tree came on time and she was very pleased
The trees did not meet the requirements that were stated on the website. Very misleading.

So far so good! I was worried about getting trees in a box but so far so good. I have only had them planted for about 2 weeks and they seem no worse for the wear.
The plants came and looked great! Good instructions on care.
The company was great to work with. Always able to get someone on the phone, they listened and addressed problems. They seem to stand by their products. We had 2 items of the 20 we ordered show up damaged in shipping. They sent replacements for all 3 items. The problem came with the tree planting kits. We ordered 10, one for each tree. They showed them as shipped, we needed them for the landscaper to plant the trees. We had a team scheduled to plan the trees, as we had 20 items! No kits arrived and we were left scrambling the day before the landscaper was showing up. They would not overnight them and we had to drive all over town tracking down tree wrap, stakes, root stimulator, etc. because of this error in their order processing. I was satisfied that they promptly refunded the kits, but what I really needed was the kits. I would have liked the resolution better if someone would have overnighted the kits we ordered and paid for over a month ago.
Very easy to deal with, nice people, cooperative and do their best to satisfy.
I was sent the wrong blueberry bush, but after a brief phone call the problem was resolved and I received the right one just a few days later. Excellent customer service!
Everything was much smaller and closer to death than I hoped. I ended up going to a big box store to buy more plants and flowers; all the big box stuff looks 10 times better.

It took 2 weeks instead of one week for the tree to arrive. Everything was in good condition. I was not happy with how the tree had been pruned/trimmed. The branches toward the outside of the tree were pruned away. That left the branches toward the inside the tree to cross one another.
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.
