  One of the absolute worst purchase and customer service experiences of all time. I bought 5 trees, 2 of which died almost instantly & 2 more dying. I sent an email requesting help for how to save the 2 dying and replace the 2 dead with pictures and nobody answered me. I sent another email over 3 weeks later and they responded by asking for a scratch test and further pictures. In the meantime I still had to ask again for help to save the trees that werent dead as the pictures and scratch test were meant for getting replacements. I finally got an answer with some help almost 2 further weeks later of back and fourth. In the meantime all 4 trees had fully died and they went out of stock at the store, so instead of replacing they gave an in store credit and only for 3 of the 4 dead trees. I asked for a full refund for these 4 dead trees since they died due to lack of prompt response and also due to this lack of response they went out of stock in the meantime and couldnt replace them to match the 1 tree that did survive (but looks pitiful). They refused to give a refund which I think is entirely wrong given the above mentioned circumstances. In addition to this 2 month long arduous process of trying to get any help, dealing with rude dismissive employee after employee, they then tried to say they did respond when said response doesnt exist. Remarkable unprofessionalism. After 2 months of arguing for what was just, I gave up and will never shop here again and hope nobody else does either.

  Be careful to do business with this company, they dont respect their warranty. I bought a musgokee crepe ****** tree from them, but they sent me a tree with white flowers, so I emailed them about it, but they never did anything but gave strange excuses like the flowers will change colors in the future.

  Thank you for getting in touch regarding your Muskogee ***** ******! I understand your concern about the bloom color.
  
  ***** ****** trees rely on full sunlight to develop the pigment in their flowers. If your tree decides to bloom on a cloudy day, the color might appear faded or entirely white due to unpredictable weather conditions. No need to worry, though! This is a temporary change, and your tree will likely even out in color over time. While we can't suggest any interventions to alter the color of already open flowers, ***** ****** trees, with their repetitive blooming habit, often correct the color during the growing season.
  
  If the bloom color persists as an issue, please feel free to contact us again and we will be happy to take a look and assist.

  Packaging and shipping is terrible.If you try to invoke the one year guarantee, you are directed to a page that explains how it is probably your fault or you are not patient enough.Paid the price premium to get ~ four foot growing ************************ year later, three of four trees had died back to ground level (most likely due to packaging). They DID resprout from the root ball, but, I could have purchased bare root stock or potted from a big box store. In about 2 - 3 years the trees will grow back to the size I paid extra for in May 2024.

  I ordered 8 Dakota Pinnacle Birch trees. They all arrived well packaged and healthy however one had a damaged box and a break in it's leader. I emailed a couple pics and they replaced it right away for me. Great service and my trees are thriving!

  Placed and paid for an order in early June and was given a timeline of about 2 weeks for it to be fulfilled, but never received the product. Every attempt to make contact with customer service and find an explanation or a timeline is met with a half-hearted apology and being told that the ship date has got moved back yet again.

  We are so sorry for the delay in shipping your order. While most orders ship in 1 to 2 days, we do have some items listed as presale items with delayed shipping dates. We will also hold some orders due to weather concerns with the shipping process. Please reach out to us if you need any additional assistance.

  I feel like I got ripped off. I ordered these 3-gallon hydrangeas and they were so expensive. When I opened the box, the first thing I thought was, The 3-gallon ones at ***** are way bigger. Do they even use the same measurements? I feel like an idiot for falling for this. The hydrangea I planted from the supermarket is bigger than this so-called 3-gallon one from the company.

  We sincierly apologize that your hydrangeas were not as large as expected for the price. Our plants sold by container size are nursery standard size and a 3 gallon would typically measure 10 inches in diameter. Let us know if you need any assistance and we will be happy to help,

  Have bought a bunch of stuff and all are thriving except for 1 tree which they replaced under the guarantee I bought. Tons of inventory of things I can never find at my local nursery.

  This is the worst tree or plant growing company out there. Their trees and plants are c*** They do not grow. And one of my raspberries died and they would not send me a new raspberry to replace it. They kept wanting more and more pictures of it. They kept saying they would have to see what else could be done to save it. It was clear from the pictures it was dead. It had dead leaves and a black stem. Then I tried to delete my online account. There is no place to delete my account and I emailed them to ask them to delete it and they never returned my email. If I could give them zero stars, I would.

  Fast growing trees company has questionable quality trees and misleading advertising. We bought a Montmorency Cherry Tree that is supposed to produce "buckets of juicy cherries with a uniquely tart flavor". It is claimed to be "low-maintenance and thrives in a variety of soils across the country" and produce fruit in the first year. The 4-foot tree was planted in our backyard under full sun as they advise. It grew about 5 inches, and did not bear any blooms for 4 years. Weve successfully grown blueberries, peaches and lemons in our backyard therefore the soil is not an issue.

  We are so sorry that your Montmorency cherry tree has not bloomed or produced over the years. There can be so many environmental factors that can affect the production of fruit trees. If it is not blooming, this would likely be caused by the tree not getting enough chill hours or sunlight. The Montmorency needs about 600 to 700 chill hours and full sun in order to produce. You can help with fruit production by fertilizing with a low nitrogen fertilizer starting in early spring before bloom, 5-10-10, or organic fruit tree fertilizer, or compost. Please reach out to us directly if we can be of additional assistance.

  As we pointed out, your company tree did not perform even close to your advertisement. First, it didnt grow normally. We planted blueberries **** next to it which grew twice as high as your plant after 4 years in our soil. So, our soil is not an issue. Besides, you promise the tree is supposed to be "low-maintenance and thrives in a variety of soils across the country". In fact, it is planted in full sun area. There are plenty of sunny hours in **************. Second, the tree did not bear any blooms for a long time - 4 years despite fertilizing. It speaks volumes about quality of your trees and misleading advertising.
