Very hopeful four these
Early October and arrived in good condition and packaged well. They were all planted within days and according to instructions. Going into winter they looked good and now in February, they still look good. I’m hopeful for to see nice growth in the spring and through summer.
Laurel Shrub
So far, so good, after 3 months in the ground. Some new growth is appearing.
Beautiful Skips
We received our Skip Laurel bushes pretty quickly, and they were in great condition. 4 out of the 9 plants I ordered were missing, but a customer service rep was able to get replacements sent and delivered within two days. The planting process went well, and they've been in the ground for a few weeks now! They seem very happy and are securely established. We're really excited to see them grow and give us some privacy from our neighbour's home next door. The photos make them look really close together, but the holes are spaced about 4ft apart , and about 4 ft from the house. We'll keep them trimmed well to control the size as well. Overall, highly recommend Fast Growing Trees!
