My Empress Tree & Thujas are doing Great

Royal Empress: (two) I purchased 2 of them. One did Great and one died immediately. You replaced the one that died and I planted the new one and it also died immediately. I never contacted you about that one. The one that grew is really really nice. It grew 4 feet the first year and 15 the second year (last year) after cutting it to the ground. It even grew branches which i read should not really happen until the third year. I will cut it again this year and have fun watching it grow. The kids love to watch it grow. 

Thuja Green Giant: (can't remember how many - maybe 25) These are doing mostly well. I planted them 5' apart in one long row. Most are doing well. I lost 4 of them last winter and one looks rough right now, brown on the top 2 feet. The ones that get the most sun have grown to 6 feet. The ones the are shaded by the house half the day are still only about 2 feet. HUGE growth difference between sun and shade. I would love some advise on either of these types of trees if you have it. Thank you.

I love my Paulownia!

The paulownia has been wonderful. We are both amazed and excited about how big it's getting. I would definately purchase another one. Thanks Fast Growing Trees!

Despite the Snow and Freezing Rain

Wonderful!  They're growing well, but the freezing rain and snow have been rough.  I extended my backyard border and the thujas were easy to plant.  I watered and fed them regularly and got the two of them growing quite well.

Politely Saying Good-Bye to my Neighbors

I used your thuja giants to screen out my neighbor's beer-can-filled yard. So far they have grown about 16 inches... they started out slow but got greener as the year went on. I planted them in mostly clay and mixed in pete moss and fertilizer... hopefully in the spring they will get back to groing so I dont have to look at their yard.  Yikes!

Very Happy Customer in Mount Laurel, NJ!

I have planted the trees in the beginning in the summer 2009, they are still going strong in Jan. 2010. I am very pleased with the quality of the trees and how they were able to withstand the cold winter temperatures. I would definitely purchase more trees from Fast Growing Trees Nursery. I am already planning for more trees to plant in the backyard. The Thuja Giants will serve to provide a great privacy screen. Thanks!

New Thujas

Using Thuja Giants for privacy on lot line.  They're easy to grow and pretty fast. They don't seem to have any problems with spider mites like other evergreen species with similar structure. Very happy with fast growing trees.

Thuja Giants are Perfect as a Wind Break

Thuja Green Giant evergreens are perfect for a FAST Wind-Break. I planted my thuja evergreens for a wind-break four summers ago and all of the grew and the shortest one is now a minimum heigth of 8 feet. My only problem was bag-worms in the summer months. I am glad to have them and would get them again!

My Thujas Grow Really Fast!

When we moved to our new house 3 years ago. I planted 20 thuja giants from Fast Growing Trees Nursery, lining the back fence of the back yard. I bought the 3-4 ft. trees. One died. One or two have not been growing as fast as the others. But all the others are about 7-8 feet tall. One thing I did wrong was to plant them too close to eachother and the fence but they still thrive.

Thuja Green Giant from Fast Growing Trees Nursery

I planted a 1-2 foot tree in June (maybe July). It grew a foot by the end of fall! I can't wait to see how much it grows Spring through Fall of 2010. We did get 2 feet of snow in December and it doesn't look like it damaged the tree, but I will know for sure in the Spring. I am planning on ordering at least 7 more trees for planting in the Spring. Very pleased so far~

Arrived Well Packaged, Look Healthy & Green

The trees were planted to get privicy . The growth has not been as fast as I expected, but the trees are healthy and I only lost one, of the seven I purchased. The trees are getting thicker and I hope I will have a faster grow this Spring. The trees are almost 7 feet tall.

My Thujas are Doing Great!

I panted several thujas as a privacy hedge a couple of years ago. It took some time but they are now taking off! They grew about 3 feet in the last 6 months! They are very pretty & smell wonderful, and aren't prickly like some evergreens. Very nice in the yard where my kids play.

Hardy, Fast Growing Thuja Green Giants

I bought a 15 thuja giants; some 2-3 ft and some 4-6 ft. The first winter was tough and I thought they wouldn't make it. An odd black blight appeared on each tree right away. After a little bit, they began to green up, fill out and start their amazing growth. We haven't lost a single one in 3 years. They are planted in small groups along the border of our half-acre back yard; strategically screening our neighbor's house. Along the side of our driveway, a single 10-ft specimen provides privacy from cars turning into our cul-de-sac. All trees are between 5 and 10 feet tall already. We fed the trees according to Fast Growing Trees Nursery's suggestions. I used a natural fungicide once on the black stuff - it didn't seem to work. My only regret is that I planted them too close together. I wish I had purchased more, but I could have arranged these more efficiently. Transplanting the smaller ones is an option We're pretty happy with the Thuja Green Giants from Fast Growing Trees Nursery.

Wow!! This is a really tough, fast growing tree!! (Empress Tree)

I received my royal empress tree late in the summer from Fast Growing Trees Nursery, and I followed all the instructions exactly. By the end of the year, I had a big beautiful circle with wonderful soil, compost and mulch and a little stick poking up in the middle. The following spring all of my other trees started getting leaves except this one. I decided it was dead and bought another tree to put there instead. Just in case some part of it was still alive, I put it in a different area (no mulch, no nice soil, no water...nothing). It was promptly run over with our riding lawn mower and at that point, I knew it really was dead. Imagine my surprise when multiple shoots sprang up almost immediately! That was spring 2009 and it grew at least 15 feet during the growing season!!!

Thuja Green Giants from Fast Growing Trees Nursery

I really wish I could comment on how fast these guys are growing, but we got a  late start on planting last year because of a permit issue with the detached garage we were planning on planting our Thuja Green Giants in front of. Well, after many, many months, we're planning on getting them in the ground this Spring. However, one GREAT thing I can say is, while we had to keep them in 5 gal pots this past year, they have grown quite a bit and stayed healthy. Some brown spots, but overall, given the weather shifts, they've survived quite nicely and we're looking forward to send you photos next year, so keep in touch Fast Growing Trees Nursery!

Leyland Cypress Privacy Evergreens

I planted my trees in September, and so far they seem to be doing alright in the freezing cold, won't be able to tell if they make the winter or not till spring, but I'm hoping that they do. I've followed the instructions that were sent with the trees, so let's just hope they survive the winter. I do have to say that when I got the trees, they were packed very, very nicely. I was impressed with Fast Growing Trees Nursery. I'm just hoping that they grow well this summer, looking forward to some privacy from the neighbors!

Leyland Cypresses

I'm very happy with my Leyland Cypresses from Fast Growing Trees Nursery. Planted in November and it was getting cold. I was concerned about this, but it seems to be doing well and growing. I can't wait to see it in the spring and summer.  I'm not a great gardner, but am trying to learn as much as I can. I am a tree lover. I want big trees because I don't want to wait year for them to grow. I want to be around to see them mature!

Leyland Cypress Trees

Our Leylands are thriving!  I like these shrub/trees because they are beautiful to look at but also wonderful to touch - very soft. We originally planted them to grow up and hide our neighbor's basketball hoop and backstop, but then she took it out and we also put in a 10 ft fence. So at this point my trees are not necessary but I will never take down my Leyland Cypress trees because I think they are beautiful!
