I wasn’t wowed, but they’re coming alive

When I received these tiny little twigs 9 or 10 days ago, I was a little disappointed. I mean I don’t know what I was expecting but I was a bit of a let down. It took me a couple of days to get them potted for now (I’m in Texas and the heat is pretty intense right now). I honestly was about to start a claim because I thought they were done for. But after about 5 days in the pot they started leafing a little and now they’re looking alive and healthy. My yard backs up to a strip mall so I’m planning on planting them on the back fence to block the view of the dumpster. I’m hoping “fast growing” is as advertised in this case. I’ve bought other trees and shrubs from this site before. I’ll continue in the future I’m sure. I do tell people if they’re gonna order online to order from Fast Growing Trees. I like the professional packaging. They are really good about keeping you notified about your order and following up after it arrives. Overall positive experiences. Two thumbs up.

When the tree arrived I

When the tree arrived I thought it was dead. The soil was very dry and all the leaves were dead. I gave it some water and made sure the soil was moist. After five days the tree was growing new shoots on the branches. Now the tree is growing with many new leaves. I will be planting the tree next week to give it more time to grow. I am very pleased. Thank you, David

We will be sure to pass your feedback along to our team and the carrier.
