Okay, so you know that feeling when you plant something and actually see it thrive? Like…you didn’t just keep it alive—you gave it a home and it gave you fruit. Actual, edible, homegrown fruit. That’s where I’m at right now with my Pink Lemonade Blueberry Bush, Fig Tree, and Peach Tree from Fast Growing Trees. And let me just say: now I get the hype.
As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors—gardening, doing yoga on the patio, chasing my girls around the yard—I’ve always dreamed of turning our space into a mini edible oasis. But I’ll be real: I don’t have time to nurse fragile plants from scratch, nor do I want to drag myself and two kids to a nursery or big-box store every weekend.
Enter: Fast Growing Trees. If you’ve been curious whether they’re the real deal, here are 5 reasons they’re 100% worth it—especially if you’re ready to transform your yard into something beautiful, functional, and full of life. 👇
1. They arrive READY TO THRIVE.
I had my doubts about ordering live trees online (I’ve had herbs show up looking like they went through a struggle), but these came in perfect condition. Packaged like they actually care. No wilted leaves, no broken branches—just healthy, happy plants ready to get in the ground. Prior to the plants arriving, they even emailed me information for how to care for them I was so excited for them to arrive.
And y’all, the blueberry bush already had berries forming when it arrived. How’s that for a head start?
2. You can skip the guesswork and the store run.
I ordered all three of my trees online in less than 10 minutes—hello time back! No running to the big-box store to find out they’re out of stock or don’t have the number of trees I need. Seriously. The website walks you through which trees will thrive in your area (I’m in Zone 8) and gives you all the info you need about climate, care, sunlight, watering, etc. They make it so easy to find the right trees for my yard.
3. The quality is so much better than big box stores.
You know how the trees at chain stores sometimes look like they’ve been sitting there too long? These looked like they were grown with love and cared for, not just stuck on a shelf. These were mature, healthy trees with strong roots—aka way more likely to survive and flourish once planted.
My fig tree is already sprouting new growth and my peach tree? Blossoms. I’m telling you, there’s something deeply satisfying about seeing that kind of life in your own backyard.
Best of all, their trees are guaranteed with their Alive and Thrive Guarantee! Wow, it made me feel so much better to know they stand behind all of their plants.
4. You get expert help if you need it.
Look, I love plants—but I’m not a horticulturist. What I do love is knowing I can shoot Fast Growing Trees a question and get helpful advice. Their guides are beginner-friendly, and their team is there if you need extra support to get and keep you growing.
Whether it’s “What plant is right for me?” or “When should I prune this?” or “Why are the leaves curling?” they’ve got your back. It makes the whole experience feel less intimidating and more like, “Yeah, I can do this.”
5. It’s the easiest way to grow your own food.
There’s something wildly empowering about walking outside, barefoot in the grass, and picking fruit from a tree you planted. It’s good for the earth, good for your plate, and honestly? Good for your soul.
If you’ve ever wanted to get into sustainable landscaping or growing your own produce but didn’t know where to start, this is it. They’ve got a huge selection of trees, from fruit trees to shade trees to privacy trees and so much more! No crazy tools, no expert-level skills. Just beautiful trees, delivered to your door!
