great tree
third time ordering from this company great experience would order again for sure real soon looking for a Japanese maple next.
Sweet little tree
This Scarlet Crepe Myrtle Tree arrived in good condition and appears to be growing relatively quickly and is in good shape, especially considering the cold winter spurts we had. I like the tree, looking forward to it reaching full growth to shade our room. Pics are from first arrival planting to current Apr2026.
Crape Myrtle Tree
I love trees from Fast Growing Trees! They always come packaged well and in great shape. The trees are healthy and once they get out of the box and get watered, immediately start to flourish. We previously bought a Crape Myrtle from them and it is the most beautiful tree.
Crepemytle tree
My order was great and tree is super. It was packaged woderful and the leaves are alreadycoming out.
So Far So Good
I was concerned when I first unboxed it because it was bare and had the tiniest tiniest buds on it. Everything here was already leafed out, so I got nervous. But one week later, the buds started opening and here we are nearly 2 weeks out and it’s nearly fully leafed out on every single Branch. We’ll see how it goes.
