Easy variety to grow
Purchased one plant early 2024. Arrived in great health with a few leaves despite being dormant. Put it into the ground in the spring. Has exploded with new growth. I have successfully cloned a few from cuttings in all purpose sand. Amazing how well this plant does in any soil condition.
Expedient Shipping
I was pleased at how quick delivery was. Last time, I ordered from a competitor and it took 6 weeks a numerous excuses from that company -- shipping has to be a top priority when dealing with plants and Fast Growing Trees seems to understand the assignment. My elderberry bushes were healthy and ready to go in the ground. I will most likely be using them in the future.
Wonderful!
Arrived in great shape. It is doing well and I'm very happy! I did use the root rocket.
Healthy Elderberry
I didn't really know what to expect with this elderberry bush but it arrived healthy and seems to be doing quite well in it's original nursery pot after nearly 2 months (I couldn't re-pot yet due to health issues). I'm looking forward to planting this in my yard early fall and future harvests. Until then, all of my FGT bushes and trees will remain in my outdoor greenhouse for protection from wildlife and my curious puppers who seen to love berry leaves more than bacon!
Both bushes came a little
Both bushes came a little shriveled which is to be expected, but the potting soil around the roots had been all tossed around and most of it wasn't in the pots any more. Need a better packaging and better shipping company.
