United StatesTree arrived with dead leaves
Every tree we've ordered from FGT has arrived with either dead leaves or green leaves that are dying and full of holes and brown veins. We planted all but one, and have been working vigorously to bring the trees back to health so they will survive the winter. I don't know if the trees were in a bad state when they shipped. I suspect the long shipping time (7-9 days) would be harmful to any living tree or plant. We went to a local nursery to find a tree to replace the one tree we didn't accept. We found the quality of their trees to be much higher than those offered by FGT. We were able to get them the same day, and they were not much more expensive than the trees we purchased from FGT. We'll buy trees from a local nursery from now on.
We're so sorry that your trees arrived in less than great condition! A long commute, especially in the summer months will cause stress on plants but they do typically recover within a few weeks. I'm glad we were able to help resolve this issue for you!
United StatesGood tree
Bought 2 trees, one came broke at the top. Tried to plant it anyway but didn’t take, ordered one more and both trees I have are doing great, should of got the insurance. Overall great trees growing very fast
United StatesPoplar Tree
When we first received the tree it appeared to be dead and lost all of its leaves in 2 days. WE watered it every day until we planted it. To our surprise it bloomed the day after being planted and continues to grow at a rapid pace. So far so good !!!
Fast and hardy
Purchase this tree (6ft verison) 4 yrs ago. It can well packaged and looking like a fishing poke. I planted it as directed hoping for the best. In no time it started sprouting new limbs and growing taller. Hard to believe that it is now almost 40ft tall and providing the much needed shade I wanted and was promised. It is very hardy and has weathered many a windstorm that took down my weeping willow. As and added bonus this year it sprouted a couple of root offshoots that I was able to dig up and transplant to provide added privacy. Good rain and sunshine this tree grows 6+ft /yr even in my ****** clay soil.

The tree came as advertised. So far, it seems alive with green leafs. If I order again, I’ll order the largest size.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Hybrid Poplars grow well in various soils - simply make sure you're planting in an area with proper sunlight and well-drained soil.
Then, dig your hole two times the width and depth of the root system, position the tree into the hole and hold it straight. Begin back filling the hole with soil and be sure to completely cover your roots with soil, tamping down so that there are no air pockets underground. Water the planting site to settle the soil and then mulch to retain soil moisture. Mulching also helps to keep an competing growth from invading the planting area.
2. Watering: Hybrid Poplars should be planted in moist soil and be irrigated properly, especially in the first year of planting. Sites that maintain good moisture throughout the year are fine to minimize the need for further irrigation beyond year one. They can handle short-term flooding if the water keeps moving. For ample and continued growth, soil moisture should be monitored.
3. Fertilizing: In fertile soils, including some old pastures, the nitrogen released from organic matter within the soil can be sufficient to carry the trees for several years without the need for added fertilizer. However, a rate of 50 to 150 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year is the general rate applied if needed.
4. Pruning: Prune the trees during the dormant season, in winter. Look for diseased, dead, or damaged limbs as the tree matures. Make a small cut into them with the pruning shears, and if there is no green flesh inside, remove them. Cut at the point where they meet healthy limbs.
