Banana "Flip"

I have ordered twice from Fast Growing Trees. One shipment arrived in the best condition I have ever received plants. Everything was beautiful, healthy-appearing, and well-packaged. The second shipment was two fairly large banana trees and the tops were actually folded into the box. Luckily I had some stakes to try to straighten them back up and I am trying to nurse them back to a healthy state. I believe they are going to do okay but I think I am going to lose those top leaves. It was surprising to see the bananas so poorly packaged when all the other plants I received from them were packaged perfectly. But maybe banana trees don't require careful handling and Fast Growing Trees knows something I don't know. I believe I will take a chance and order from them again. It does really seem that the quality of their plants is quite good.

08/21/2026 UPDATE: The company responded asking me to contact them with photos. When I did, they replied with a sincere apology for the way my order had shipped and let me know that they would be shipping a replacement to me. I love it when companies have integrity and do the right thing! So I have edited my rating of them from a 4 to a 5. I will definitely order from them again.

Do Not believe the Guarantee!

Do Not believe the Guarantee! I’ve lost over $150 from this place. First I got dead Raspberry bushes & sent them many photos. They said they didn’t get them & take another picture. By then they were 2 sticks dead in the ground. I’ve been begging for a refund for 3 Months! Now Today I get the hardy Hibiscus bush that was supposed to be here much sooner. It’s basically just dying. Leaves are all Yellow or crunchy. I’ll plant it in the cool Morning. But my hopes aren’t too high. WARNING: Don’t purchase anything from this God Forsaken place. Big rip off! They don’t stand behind their Products!

Unappreciated customer!

I bought over 20 jr thujas two years ago and planted along drivway. after 2!/2 years they have only grown about a foot. Thats not my complaint. although they arent fast growing trees as advertised. My complaint is that one of the trees has just completely turned brown and died recently. Yes i watered and groomed religiously. I called customer service for some advice and help. I also asked if they could send me another tree not for free but at a very reduced fee and not charge for shipping since it was cost of the tree. I did not get any help and any reputable business would have made this work since I ordered so many prviously. Anyway I will go elsewhere for my tree purchases, somewhere where they appreciate their customers.

I ordered three of the multicolor hydrangeas. I was stunned when they arrived. These trees are about 6 inches tall. Very deceptive. It will take years for them to be full grown. I’m very disappointed . I ordered several times from them in the past . This will be the last order.

We sincerely apologize that the one-quart hydrangeas were smaller than you expected. With plants like these, we primarily look at the container size and maturity of the root system rather than a specific height. Your plants are at the appropriate stage for their container size and should fill out with time and proper care. We can see that our team has responded via both SMS and email and would be happy to continue assisting you there.

My Experience with Fast growing trees

My Experience with Fast growing trees– Very Disappointing
And honestly all the reviews on their site are not real but I don’t even have the option to put a review myself .
I wanted to share my honest experience because I think potential customers should know what to expect.

I placed two separate orders with them, and unfortunately, the fig tree I received arrived in very poor condition. The tree had broken branches throughout, brown and burned leaves, and the pot was smashed. What was especially frustrating was that the shipping box itself appeared to be in good condition, but there was very little support inside the box to protect the tree. It looked like the tree had been moving around during the entire shipment.

For the amount I paid for this tree, I expected much better quality and packaging. I understand that plants can experience some stress during shipping, but the condition of this tree was far beyond what I would consider normal shipping stress.

I contacted the company and provided photos of everything. While I appreciate that they responded, I was disappointed with the suggestion that I simply monitor the tree because some of the damage could be attributed to shipping shock.

As a customer, I shouldn’t have to spend this much money on a tree and then hope that a severely damaged plant survives.

I am currently asking the company to send me a healthy replacement tree that has been properly inspected and packaged for shipment. I hope they will do the right thing and resolve this appropriately.

I’m sharing my experience and photos so other customers can make an informed decision before spending their money. I truly hope Plants.com uses this feedback to improve how their plants are inspected, packaged, and handled when customers receive damaged products.

Guys use Easyplant. I should have stick purchasing from them. Never had a problem with my plants before. This company is scam. All the reviews on their website are positive .

I will update this review if the company makes this situation right

The soil was still damp and the plants were extremely healthy. Thank you for such great quality! Also— customer support was very quick in their response to my emails.

⭐ Disappointed With After-Sale Support

⭐ Disappointed With After-Sale Support

I’m very disappointed with my experience with Fast Growing Trees. I purchased a tree from them expecting both a healthy plant and reasonable support if something went wrong.

After planting the tree and following the care instructions, the tree started declining and eventually died. I contacted customer service and provided photos showing the condition of the tree, but I did not receive the level of support or resolution I expected.

Buying a tree online is not inexpensive, and good after-sale support is very important, especially when a newly purchased tree fails. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I felt that once the tree was delivered, I was left to deal with the problem on my own.

I would have appreciated Fast Growing Trees standing behind their product and working with me toward a replacement or reasonable resolution. My experience with their after-sale customer service has been disappointing.

Disappointing customer service and products

I placed several orders with this company and every single plant they sent me died. I took advantage of their “alive and thrive” warranty, but even the replacements followed the same pattern: the plants arrived, I followed the expert advice and guidelines, the plants lived for about a week and then died off. I’ve purchased several different types of plants and I’ve reached out to and spoken with their experts multiple times and still every single item I have purchased from this business has died. I am not a novice when it comes to plant care; I have almost 70 plants in my house and a thriving garden and the only ones that I am having this kind of problem with are the ones I purchased from this nursery. I reached out to the business today to discuss my concerns that this is a possible product defect, or shipping issue and was told that there is nothing further they are willing to do for me other than give me more “advice” should I want to purchase more plants. I have spent hundreds of dollars at this company; please strongly consider whether you want to buy from this nursery.

I don't typically write reviews however this is the worst company ever. They tell you sweet nothings over the phone as if they are going to resolve your problem. They sent a dead tree to my home and expect me to pay for them to send another tree under the warranty. Worst customer service ever.

The trees ordered are not what was expected. Much smaller and not healthy. Tried to work with customer service, and I must have been speaking to someone in some 3rd world country. NO SERVICE AFTER THE SALE! They refused to let me send them back for a refund and only offered a 30% refund?? I will not buy from them because I know I can get much better service, IN PERSON, at a local nursury or Home Depot

Great experience from A to Z.

The entire experience from the moment I went on the website just felt more professional. I liked the filters to find the trees and plants with the detailed plant information. That's were I fell in love with the fignomenal tree so I bought two, was able to schedule the deliverydate and get the trackinginformation. One arrived a bit sad, but south Florida is quit unforgiving during the summer. Nevertheless I called customer support abs it was very quick easy they found my order, sent me a link while on the phone, I sent them pictures and they immediately sent a replacement. It was so quick and I felt relieved to receive the other tree and that they will help me monitor the progress and I got the 2 year guarantee of in take care of my tree the right way. Which I will since this is a unique chance to have a fruit tree in a condo.
