Trees unnaturally top heavy The problem with FGT is that they price many of their trees by how tall they are. What happens is that the trees are not naturally allowed to grow properly and in fact are made to grow tall by excessive staking. I purchased an Avocado and mango tree from them and both were unnaturally top heavy resulting in me having to basically cut them in half and "re-grow" them. I am happy to report that the trees survived the harsh pruning and are growing in the proper manner.

Not impressed Not impressed. I could buy much better trees for less price at lowes or home depot. I will not ever try them again.

Great quality plants Great quality plants. I ordered a banana tree, monstera adansonii and an alocasia plant. They were huge and I could tell they were taken care of. The only bad thing is that they were delivered terribly because fedex didn’t follow directions in box to keep upright and delivered upside down so plants were somewhat damaged, lost a few leaves and a bit of dirt did spill.

No Guarantees One of my trees arrived damaged, but survived. 3 of my trees died the first winter (winter hardy avocado and Lohan). One plant never arrived and was cancelled three months later due to lack of availability. Fast-Growing-Trees, unlike many nurseries does not guarantee their plants. They have a 30 day guarantee from time of shipping and you must buy an extended warranty which will add at least 25% to your order. There is also significant variability in the size of their plants. Beware.

Avid Gardener and Landscaper I am an avid gardener and landscaper. Fast Growing Trees is by far one of the worst companies I have ever purchased from. I have tried with them three times, because I just could not imagine the awful trees they sent me were their norm. Now, having received trees with all their roots cut off and all their limbs freshly removed except for the very top, which leaves immediately began to turn yellow and fall off, I say, beware of this company. If you value your time, your energy, and your money, shop somewhere else.
