Thanks for stopping by! We're Fast Growing Trees, and we're America's #1 online nursery. We started selling trees in our backyard in 2005, and we still do (only now, our backyard is nearly 100 acres). We pioneered the concept of farm-to-backyard plants, and made it possible to grow happier, healthier and easier than the garden center or big box store. What sets us apart? We’re as close to the farm as it gets. Our plants are sourced from the best growers across the country, cared for by our in-house Plant Experts and shipped straight to your yard. This means you're shopping straight from the source and guaranteed (yes, we guarantee them!) fresh, thriving plants. Forget the leftovers—with us, you get first dibs on the biggest, freshest selection of privacy trees, shrubs, shade trees, fruits, flowering trees, house plants, perennials, tropicals and more, all from the comfort of your home.

Received what I expected. Had a problem with shipping company and they took care of it fast and very good. I will be ordering all of my trees and shrubs and anything else they have that I need. Very well satisfied

I have ordered over a dozen of different plants from Fast Growing Trees. Every single time I am so excited to watch them grow. This most recent time one of my trees arrived damaged, it was due to the shipping and handling. Customer service was so great about helping me get a replacement. I cannot wait to watch my trees grow and hopefully enjoy fruit from them in the future!

Quick response to my customer support issue. I had a tree that died.

I ordered 8 Evergreen Arborvite Thuja Trees. The trees were delivered and they are beautiful. I planted them as directed however they all died within 60/days. I called customer service and emailed as I was advised to send pics of the dying trees, within a few weeks I received new trees. Again, beautiful! Their team guided me on what to do to when I planted them. I highly recommend this company!! I will be purchasing more trees and flowers in the future.

I have purchased many trees from Fast Growing Trees. All of them previously have been great. This was the first time one of my tree purchases did not survive for wherever reason. Their customer service was excellent. They replaced the tree in short order with a beautiful tree. I am very happy and highly recommend this company.

I have ordered a total of 4 plants from Fast Growing Trees and I am DELIGHTED! Excellent quality and customer service is excellent! My Rose of Sharon came with 53 buds on it! Any day now they should be blooming! Thank you FGT!

I had a great experience buying trees and using the one year replacement warranty. They recently coached me through a transplant question, 7 years after purchase!

The day I received my trees they were the size of a coffee cup. For the price I paid, I should have grew it myself. They advertise returns but refused to return it. I won't be purchasing from them in the future.

Very disappointed in the quality of what was delivered. Always go to your local nurseries. That way you’re not buying a pig in a poke, which is what happened to me.

I lived in Charlotte NC for 40 years and am very familiar with Fast Growing Trees stationed in Fort Mill, SC. Used to be able to drive on their property and pick out your tree, shrub, etc. They only just do mail orders now but the quality is the same…excellent! In the past 2 years I have ordered several fruit trees and roses from them. I’ve only had one mishap which was not their fault but the “delivery system”. Someone mishandled my box of dwarf apple trees and they arrived broken. I immediately took pictures and informed Fast Growing Trees of the problem. They quickly replaced my trees without question or hassle. I would recommend Fast Growing Trees to anyone!

I've ordered trees, bushes and pines for my yard and find them reasonably priced especially when they have sales on their products, they even replaced 2 pines and I just had to pay 10$ shipping, very happy with this company and their customer service!!

The customer service person I spoke with was very knowledgeable and gave me a good impression of the company.

Baby Blue Spruce trees arrived in September and were very nice. Received advice on how to protect during winter months and they were going great this spring. In June one tree is dying. Called Fast Growing Trees for replacement (website and chat indicates very plainly there is a 1 year replacement of non-thriving trees). Representative told me I only had a 60 days replacement because I did not check the box upon checkout for year warranty for $. My bad apparently - didn't see it? too bad. Plus the rep let it slip that they just changed their policy which means, mine was probably automatically covered.
My advice is "read carefully", and save your receipt as they especially highlight the full year replacement but do not broadcast their "60 day policy". They are much more expensive (cost, warranty, shipping) than other online nurseries that plainly list a 60 day replacement and offer free shipping without a purchase limit.

Based on my experience with Fast Growing Trees, I wouldn’t order from them again nor recommend them to anyone looking for healthy plants.
I ordered 5 trees back in May. One was from Fast Growing Trees, and the other 4 were from other online tree stores (Conifer Kingdom, Mr. Maple, etc.); all were approximately the same size. I planted all of the trees to the specifications recommended on their respective websites on the day I received them. It’s been about a month now, and all of the trees that I did not receive from Fast Growing Trees have adjusted well and are growing and flourishing, whereas the one tree that I ordered from Fast Growing Trees is pretty much fully dead. All of its leaves browned and dropped within the first 2 weeks of planting.
I’d highly recommend that anyone looking to buy trees online not order from Fast Growing Trees and consider other retailers instead. Even stopping by your local Home Depot or Lowe’s garden center would probably be better. I personally will be sticking to the websites that delivered me trees that are healthy.

Ordered a flowering plum tree in May. Tree did not look too good. Had very few leaves on the tree and did not have a root ball, just loose dirt wrapped in burlap. Waited a month to see if its condition would improve. It did not. Contacted customer service and they wanted a long list of questions answered, such as how much sunlight, how much water, what type of soil, pictures, (I sent pics in May) etc. I assume they were trying to dissuade you from pursuing a replacement. They just lost a customer. Was it worth it for them to lose a customer?

Reply from Fast Growing Trees
My plant arrived dead, I took pictures and shared with customer service while it was still inside the shipping box. Customer service said I had to have it planted anyway. I paid the landscape company to plant it and it never grew. Fast growing trees will not stand behind the warranty and replace it. Total loss of money.

We ordered a limelight hydrangea tree last spring, so this will be the 2nd spring we've had it. We have been very pleased with all of our trees and bushes we've received from Fast Growing Trees!

Reply from Fast Growing Trees
Very misleading regarding the size and quality of the product. I would strongly suggest avoiding them.
