I can't wait for this beauty to fill our empty backyard with loads of shade and beautiful birds. The tree came in excellent condition with a ton of new growth!
Love my wildfire black gum tree
I’ve purchased many trees from Fast Growing Trees and have never been disappointed. The trees are always healthy and fresh and delivery has always been on time. Customer service is also superb. This is an excellent company.

So far, so good.
Wildfire black gum
Tree arrived in great shape. It has beautiful colors.
Very nice tree. Needs protection to survive winds and deer
Tree arrived as scheduled, healthy but leaning. While planting instructions mention staking, they don't include best methods to do it. I opted for two stakes attaching them to the tree with old nylon stockings so it can still sway a little to strengthen the trunk while the roots establish. Happy with the tree. Just wish FGT offered more complete care tips. Gum trees are described as deer resistant. Yes, when they're older but this is a young tree so deer will happily devour tender new leaves unless its protected. That also wasn't mentioned.
