Why Fast Growing Trees Should Be Your First Stop This Planting Season

If you’ve ever bought plants online, there’s a good chance you already know about Fast Growing Trees. The company has built a well-deserved reputation over the years for exceptional trees, shrubs, and so much more. Gardeners who know them, love them. The quality is consistently strong, the selection is impressive with over 1,600 varieties, and the plants arrive healthy and ready to thrive.

If you haven’t bought plants online, it’s probably time to start. I love supporting a good local garden center, but there are so many great reasons to take your plant shopping online. Most of all, you can get amazing assortments, unique colors, and more. Fast Growing Trees is now giving us more reasons to shop for plants online because they’re expanding into some exciting new territories. It’s worth paying attention.

David Austin Roses Are Here and That's Kind of a Big Deal

If you follow the world of roses at all, you know that David Austin Roses are in a category of their own. These English roses are widely considered the gold standard, bred for exceptional fragrance, repeat blooming, and that romantic, cottage-garden look that never goes out of style.

For the first time ever, Fast Growing Trees is carrying a curated collection of 16 hand-selected David Austin varieties, available in premium 3-gallon sizes starting at $215. Having a trusted source like Fast Growing Trees carry these roses (and shipped directly to your door and timed for peak planting) is genuinely exciting for any gardener who has wanted to try them.

Skip the Seeds and Start Strong with Veggies and Herbs

When it comes to growing veggies and herbs, I actually prefer established plants over starting from seed. There's something so satisfying about putting a plant in the ground that already has a head start, and it makes a real difference in how quickly your garden gets going. Fast Growing Trees has expanded their Veggies and Herbs collection with pre-started, ready-to-plant options (many of them certified organic) including tomatoes, peppers, basil, mint, and oregano. Whether you're working with a raised bed, a patio container, or a full backyard garden, these plants take the guesswork out of getting started.

The Meyer Lemon Tree Is Worth Every Bit of the Hype

If you've ever thought about trying your hand at growing citrus, the Meyer Lemon Tree is the one to start with. Years ago I bought one for my mom, and she still has it today. Yes, it’s still producing lemons and it’s a serious point of pride for her. Fast Growing Trees ships these greenhouse-grown trees in their existing containers to protect the root system, and many arrive with buds or fruit already forming. You can grow them indoors or outdoors and expect to have fruit in as little as one to two years. It's a genuinely fun plant to have. Plus, it makes an incredible gift.

Privacy, Fast: The Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae

If you've been dreaming about a natural privacy screen for your yard, the Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae is one of the most reliable ways to get there. This fast-growing evergreen can put on three to five feet of growth per year once established, and it's drought-tolerant and disease-resistant to boot. Fast Growing Trees is offering limited-quantity Jumbo sizes in 10 to 15 gallon containers for instant landscape impact. This means you won't be waiting years to see results.

Why Fast Growing Trees

What sets Fast Growing Trees apart is the way they ship. Unlike nurseries that send bare-root plants, every plant is grown in a container and shipped with its root system intact, timed for optimal planting in your specific growing zone. They also offer seven-day-a-week Plant Expert support by phone, chat, or email. You can even get a video consultation if you need one. It's genuinely more than just ordering a plant. It's having a partner in your garden.
